enic_remove() cancels the reset and change_mtu_work items but does not
cancel tx_hang_reset. A TX timeout that fires while the device is being
removed can schedule enic_tx_hang_reset() so that it runs after
free_netdev(), resulting in a use-after-free.
Cancel tx_hang_reset alongside the other work items before
unregister_netdev().
This is a pre-existing issue, not introduced by the SR-IOV V2 series;
it is included here as an independent fix.
Fixes: 937317c7c109 ("enic: do hang reset only in case of tx timeout")

During PF probe, query the firmware get-supported-feature interface
to verify that the running firmware supports V2 SR-IOV. Firmware
version 5.3(4.72) and later report VIC_FEATURE_SRIOV via
CMD_GET_SUPP_FEATURE_VER. If the firmware does not support the
feature, set vf_type to ENIC_VF_TYPE_NONE and log a warning so the
admin knows a firmware upgrade is needed.
V2 VFs are only ever enabled later through the sysfs .sriov_configure
path (enic_sriov_configure()), which rejects ENIC_VF_TYPE_NONE before
calling pci_enable_sriov(); there is no probe-time auto-enable, so
firmware that lacks V2 support never exposes VFs.
VIC_FEATURE_SRIOV is assigned the explicit value 4 to match the
firmware ABI. Slot 3 (firmware's VIC_FEATURE_PTP) is reserved with
a comment rather than a placeholder enum entry, since PTP is not
used by the upstream driver.

The V2 SR-IOV design uses a dedicated admin channel (WQ/RQ/CQ/INTR
on separate BAR resources) for PF-VF mailbox communication rather
than firmware-proxied devcmds.
Introduce enic_admin_channel_open() and enic_admin_channel_close().
Open allocates and initialises the admin WQ, RQ, and two CQs (one per
direction), then issues CMD_QP_TYPE_SET to tell firmware the queues are
admin-type. Close reverses the sequence.
enic_admin_wq_buf_clean() unmaps and frees any WQ buffers still held
at close time, fixing a DMA mapping leak when a send times out.
Add CMD_QP_TYPE_SET (97), QP_TYPE_ADMIN/DATA, and QP_ENABLE/QP_DISABLE
defines to vnic_devcmd.h. Add VNIC_CQ_* named constants to vnic_cq.h
so CQ initialisation parameters are self-documenting from their first
introduction.

The admin receive queue needs pre-posted DMA buffers for incoming
mailbox messages from VFs. Each buffer is a kmalloc'd region mapped
for DMA (2048 bytes, sufficient for any MBOX message).
Add enic_admin_rq_fill(gfp) to post buffers at open time, and
enic_admin_rq_drain() to unmap and free them at close time.
Wire both into the admin channel open/close paths. The gfp_t
parameter lets the caller pass the allocation context; both current
callers -- channel open and the CQ-poll work handler that refills
after draining (added in the next patch) -- run in process context
and use GFP_KERNEL.

Add completion queue (CQ) service for the admin channel work queue
(WQ) and receive queue (RQ), driven by a dedicated MSI-X interrupt
and a workqueue-based CQ poller.
The admin WQ CQ service advances the completion ring and returns the
number of descriptors consumed. The admin RQ CQ service does the
same for receive completions and copies each received message into a
preallocated buffer. Received messages are enqueued for deferred
dispatch by a separate work_struct so the CQ poller stays short.
When the MSI-X interrupt fires, the ISR schedules the CQ poll
work_struct. The work handler drains all pending completions, kicks
message dispatch if work was done, and returns credits to unmask the
interrupt.
The poll handler snapshots the pending credit count before draining
the CQ so it acknowledges exactly what the hardware reported for this
interrupt; any credits that accrue during draining are serviced by the
next interrupt. At least one credit is returned so the write always
carries a non-zero acknowledgment and re-arms the vector, since the
admin channel is not re-polled like the NAPI data path.
Log a rate-limited warning when admin RQ buffer refill fails so that
transient memory pressure is visible without flooding the log.

Define the mailbox protocol structures for PF-VF communication:
message header, generic reply, and per-message-type payloads for
capability negotiation, VF registration/unregistration, and link
state notification/acknowledgment.
Include linux/types.h and linux/bits.h for __le16/__le32/__le64
and BIT() used in the header.
Message types use an even=request / odd=reply convention. The
header carries source and destination VNIC IDs, a monotonically
increasing message number, and the total message length.

Implement the mailbox protocol engine used for PF-VF communication
over the admin channel.
The send path (enic_mbox_send_msg) builds a message with a common
header, DMA-maps it, posts a single WQ descriptor with the
destination vnic ID encoded in the VLAN tag field, and polls
the WQ CQ for completion.
MBOX sends are gated by enic->mbox_send_disabled: enic_mbox_send_msg()
returns early while it is set. It is set at the very start of both
enic_admin_channel_open() and enic_admin_channel_close(), and is
cleared in enic_admin_channel_open() only once the admin WQ/RQ/CQ and
interrupt are fully allocated, programmed and enabled. Keeping it set
for the whole open sequence means an early failure that returns before
the channel is ready (as well as a not-yet-ready or torn-down channel)
leaves sends disabled, so a concurrent sender can never race an MBOX
send against a half-open or freed admin_wq.
The receive path (enic_mbox_recv_handler) is installed as the admin
RQ callback and validates incoming message headers. PF/VF-specific
dispatch will be added in subsequent commits.

Implement PF-side mailbox message processing for SR-IOV V2
admin channel communication.
When the PF receives messages from VFs, the dispatch routes
them to type-specific handlers:
- VF_CAPABILITY_REQUEST: reply with protocol version 1
- VF_REGISTER_REQUEST: send the register reply, mark the
VF registered on success, then send PF_LINK_STATE_NOTIF
reflecting the PF's current carrier state
- VF_UNREGISTER_REQUEST: mark VF unregistered, send reply
- PF_LINK_STATE_ACK: log errors from VF acknowledgment
Per-VF state (struct enic_vf_state) is tracked via enic->vf_state
which will be allocated when SRIOV V2 is enabled.
Remove the CONFIG_PCI_IOV guard from num_vfs in struct enic. The
PF handlers reference enic->num_vfs for VF ID bounds checking in
enic_mbox.c, which is compiled unconditionally. The field must be
visible regardless of CONFIG_PCI_IOV to avoid build failures.
Add enic_mbox_send_link_state() helper for PF-initiated link
state notifications, also used later by ndo_set_vf_link_state.

Implement VF-side mailbox message processing for SR-IOV V2
admin channel communication.
VF receive handlers:
- VF_CAPABILITY_REPLY: store PF protocol version, signal
completion
- VF_REGISTER_REPLY: mark VF as registered, signal completion
- VF_UNREGISTER_REPLY: mark VF as unregistered, signal
completion
- PF_LINK_STATE_NOTIF: update carrier state via
netif_carrier_on/off, send ACK back to PF
VF initiation functions for the probe-time handshake:
- enic_mbox_vf_capability_check: send capability request,
wait for PF reply via completion
- enic_mbox_vf_register: send register request, wait for
PF confirmation via completion
- enic_mbox_vf_unregister: send unregister request, wait
for PF confirmation
The wait helper (enic_mbox_wait_reply) uses
wait_for_completion_timeout, signaled when the admin ISR and
CQ-poll/dispatch workqueue pipeline delivers the reply message.

Extend enic_sriov_configure() to handle V2 SR-IOV VFs. When the PF
detects V2 VF device IDs, the enable path allocates per-VF MBOX state,
opens the admin channel, initializes the MBOX protocol, and then calls
pci_enable_sriov(). The admin channel must be ready before VFs are
created so that VF drivers can immediately begin the MBOX capability
and registration handshake during their probe.
The enic_sriov_configure() dispatcher and its V2 helpers
(enic_sriov_v2_enable, enic_sriov_v2_disable) are defined here but
intentionally not yet wired into struct pci_driver via
.sriov_configure -- hence the __maybe_unused annotations. This
series introduces only the admin channel and MBOX infrastructure;
sysfs-driven V2 enable/disable will be activated in a follow-up
patch by adding ".sriov_configure = enic_sriov_configure," to
enic_driver.
Because .sriov_configure is not registered yet, enic_sriov_configure()
cannot run concurrently with the rtnl-protected reset paths
(enic_reset(), enic_tx_hang_reset()) in this series, so there is no
reachable locking race between SR-IOV enable/disable and reset. The
follow-up patch that wires the callback will add the necessary
serialization against those paths. Note that simply taking rtnl_lock()
around the enable path is not viable, because pci_enable_sriov()
triggers VF probe and register_netdev(), which themselves acquire rtnl;
the wiring patch therefore uses finer-grained serialization.
The disable path first clears ENIC_SRIOV_ENABLED and flushes the
link-notify work, so no further VF link-state broadcast can run, then
calls pci_disable_sriov() (VF drivers unregister via MBOX), closes the
admin channel, and frees per-VF state. Clearing the flag and flushing
the work before vf_state is freed closes a use-after-free window
against the link-notify path.
Notify registered VFs of PF link transitions: enic_link_check()
schedules link_notify_work on each carrier up/down edge, and the work
handler sends PF_LINK_STATE_NOTIF to the VFs from process context.
The broadcast cannot run directly in enic_link_check() because the
MBOX send path may sleep and link check runs in the notify timer/ISR
context.
Re-establish the admin/MBOX channel across a PF reset. enic_reset()
and enic_tx_hang_reset() fully close the admin channel before the
soft/hang reset (which wipes all hardware queues, including the admin
WQ/RQ), then reopen it and re-run enic_mbox_init() after the data path
is back up, and re-push the current link state to registered VFs.
Reject VF port profile requests when V2 SR-IOV is active
(enic_is_valid_pp_vf), since enic->pp is not reallocated for V2 VFs
and the V2 protocol uses MBOX instead of port profiles.
Update enic_remove() to run enic_dev_deinit() and vnic_dev_close()
after SR-IOV teardown, so the PF device remains functional while VFs
are being cleaned up. This ordering applies to both V1 and V2 SR-IOV
paths.

When a V2 SR-IOV VF probes, open the admin channel, initialize the
MBOX protocol, perform the capability check with the PF, and register
with the PF. This establishes the PF-VF communication path that the PF
uses to send link state notifications.
The admin channel and MBOX registration happen after enic_dev_init()
(which discovers admin channel resources) and before register_netdev()
so the VF is fully initialized before the interface is visible to
userspace.
A V2 VF whose firmware did not provision admin WQ/RQ/CQ resources
fails probe with -ENODEV from enic_admin_channel_open(); the admin
channel is a hard requirement for V2 VFs.
The admin channel is opened before enic_mbox_init() installs the
receive handler. This is safe because enic_admin_rq_cq_service()
checks admin_rq_handler before enqueuing received buffers, so any
interrupt that fires between open and mbox_init is harmlessly
discarded.
On remove, the VF unregisters from the PF and closes its admin channel
before tearing down data path resources.
V2 VFs are not provisioned with an RES_TYPE_SRIOV_INTR resource by
firmware, so bypass that check in the admin channel capability
detection for V2 VFs. The PF still requires this resource.
The admin MSI-X vector reserved by enic_set_intr_mode()
is used for the admin channel interrupt.
enic_adjust_resources() ensures the reserved slot is within
intr_avail bounds even at maximum queue configurations. The
admin INTR uses a RES_TYPE_INTR_CTRL slot shared with the
data path.

The reset paths (enic_reset/enic_tx_hang_reset) tore down and re-opened
the V2 admin/MBOX channel only for the PF: the close/reopen was gated on
enic_sriov_enabled() && vf_type == ENIC_VF_TYPE_V2, which is never true on
a VF (vf_type is set only on the PF; VFs are identified by
enic_is_sriov_vf_v2()). A VF-initiated reset therefore left the VF admin
QP wiped by the reset but never re-opened, and the VF never re-registered
with the PF, so VF<->PF MBOX traffic (link state, MAC, packet filter)
stopped working until the VF was re-probed.
Factor the decision into enic_has_admin_chan() (true for a V2 PF while
SR-IOV is enabled and for every V2 VF) and the reopen sequence into
enic_admin_chan_reopen(). For a VF the helper additionally re-runs the
probe-time handshake (enic_mbox_vf_capability_check() +
enic_mbox_vf_register()) so the PF learns about the VF again; for a PF it
re-pushes the current link state as before.
