[net-next 1/6] ixgbevf: Fix code for handling timeout

[Jeff Kirsher]

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com>

The VF driver was not designed to correctly handle a message timeout.  As
a result it is possible for one bad message to invalidate all messages
following it until the part is reset.  Instead we should copy the example
in igbvf of how to handle a mailbox event and message timeout.

[net-next 4/6] ixgbevf: Fix AIM (Adaptive Interrupt Moderation)

[Jeff Kirsher]

From: Greg Rose <gregory.v.rose@intel.com>

While fixing up a patch from Alex Duyck to use q_vectors in ring containers
to update the ITR I bungled it and missed actually updating the counters
in the ring container q_vectors.  This patch fixes my mistake and makes
interrupt moderation actually work.

[net-next 6/6] ixgbevf: Return error on failure to enable VLAN

[Jeff Kirsher]

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com>

With recent kernel changes we can now return errors on a failure to setup a
VLAN filter.  This patch takes advantage of that opportunity so that we can
return either an EIO error in the case of a mailbox failure, or an EACCESS
error in the case of being denied access to the VLAN filter table by the
PF.
