[PATCH net 1/6] net/mlx5: Base ECVF devlink port attrs from 0

[Tariq Toukan]

From: Daniel Jurgens <danielj@nvidia.com>

Adjust the vport number by the base ECVF vport number so the port
attributes start at 0. Previously the port attributes would start 1
after the maximum number of host VFs.

[PATCH net 4/6] net/mlx5: Destroy vport QoS element when no configuration remains

[Tariq Toukan]

From: Carolina Jubran <cjubran@nvidia.com>

If a VF has been configured and the user later clears all QoS settings,
the vport element remains in the firmware QoS tree. This leads to
inconsistent behavior compared to VFs that were never configured, since
the FW assumes that unconfigured VFs are outside the QoS hierarchy.
As a result, the bandwidth share across VFs may differ, even though
none of them appear to have any configuration.

Align the driver behavior with the FW expectation by destroying the
vport QoS element when all configurations are removed.

[PATCH net 5/6] net/mlx5e: Preserve tc-bw during parent changes

[Tariq Toukan]

From: Carolina Jubran <cjubran@nvidia.com>

When changing parent of a node/leaf with tc-bw configured, the code
saves and restores tc-bw values. However, it was reading the converted
hardware bw_share values (where 0 becomes 1) instead of the original
user values, causing incorrect tc-bw calculations after parent change.

Store original tc-bw values in the node structure and use them directly
for save/restore operations.

[PATCH net 6/6] net/mlx5e: Query FW for buffer ownership

[Tariq Toukan]

From: Alexei Lazar <alazar@nvidia.com>

The SW currently saves local buffer ownership when setting
the buffer.
This means that the SW assumes it has ownership of the buffer
after the command is set.

If setting the buffer fails and we remain in FW ownership,
the local buffer ownership state incorrectly remains as SW-owned.
This leads to incorrect behavior in subsequent PFC commands,
causing failures.

Instead of saving local buffer ownership in SW,
query the FW for buffer ownership when setting the buffer.
This ensures that the buffer ownership state is accurately
reflected, avoiding the issues caused by incorrect ownership
states.

I would rather keep executing the code that "sets tx_share to 0 and
propagates the info", and only then prune all-0 nodes.
Same for other params (tx_max, ...)

That would be less risky and more future-proof, and also would let your
check&disable function to take less params.

Finally, the name is poor, what about:?
	esw_vport_qos_prune_empty(vport, rate_leaf);
(after applying my prev suggestion the above line will be at the
bottom of function).

Also a note, that if you apply the above, it would be also good to
keep the "esw_qos_lock() just once" (as it is now)

Thanks for the review!
My initial thought was to reduce the amount of FW commands, but I agree 
with your points.
Also, thanks for the name suggestion.
I’ll fix and send v2.
