Hi!

I re-discussed MPLS/MTU internally, dropped it from the patch 1,
re-tested everything, found out I forgot about debugfs pointers,
fixed that as well.

v5:
 - don't reserve space in RX buffers for MPLS label stack
   (patch 1);
 - fix debugfs pointers to ring structures (patch 5).
v4:
 - cut down on unrelated patches;
 - don't "close" the device on error path.

--- v4 cover letter

Previous series included some not entirely related patches,
this one is cut down.  Main issue I'm trying to solve here
is that .ndo_change_mtu() in nfpvf driver is doing full
close/open to reallocate buffers - which if open fails
can result in device being basically closed even though
the interface is started.  As suggested by you I try to move
towards a paradigm where the resources are allocated first
and the MTU change is only done once I'm certain (almost)
nothing can fail.  Almost because I need to communicate 
with FW and that can always time out.

Patch 1 fixes small issue.  Next 10 patches reorganize things
so that I can easily allocate new rings and sets of buffers
while the device is running.  Patches 13 and 15 reshape the
.ndo_change_mtu() and ethtool's ring-resize operation into
desired form.


Jakub Kicinski (15):
  nfp: correct RX buffer length calculation
  nfp: move link state interrupt request/free calls
  nfp: break up nfp_net_{alloc|free}_rings
  nfp: make *x_ring_init do all the init
  nfp: allocate ring SW structs dynamically
  nfp: cleanup tx ring flush and rename to reset
  nfp: reorganize initial filling of RX rings
  nfp: preallocate RX buffers early in .ndo_open
  nfp: move filling ring information to FW config
  nfp: slice .ndo_open() and .ndo_stop() up
  nfp: sync ring state during FW reconfiguration
  nfp: propagate list buffer size in struct rx_ring
  nfp: convert .ndo_change_mtu() to prepare/commit paradigm
  nfp: pass ring count as function parameter
  nfp: allow ring size reconfiguration at runtime
