Hi!

[ Michael and Pavan, I removed your Tested-by:/Reviewed-by: although
the changes were pretty small. Please re-add if you're still OK with
it. ]

Some NICs (e.g. bnxt) change their RSS indirection table size based on
the queue count, because the hardware table is a shared resource. The
ethtool core locks ctx->indir_size at context creation, so drivers
have to reject channel changes when RSS contexts exist.

This series adds resize helpers and wires them up in bnxt.

Patch 1 adds core helpers:
  ethtool_rxfh_can_resize() - read-only validation
  ethtool_rxfh_resize() - fold/unfold a raw table in place
  ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_can_resize() - validate all non-default contexts
  ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_resize() - resize all non-default contexts,
    with locking and RSS_NTF notifications

Both ethtool_rxfh_can_resize() and ethtool_rxfh_resize() now take a
user_size parameter: the number of indirection table entries the user
originally provided. When shrinking, the table will not fold below
this floor, preserving user intent.

The user_size is tracked in ctx->indir_user_size for non-default RSS
contexts and in dev->ethtool->rss_indir_user_size for context 0. It
is set when the indirection table is configured via netlink or ioctl,
and cleared to zero on reset-to-default.

Patch 2 uses them in bnxt_set_channels(). Validation runs before
bnxt_close_nic(); actual resize is deferred until after. RSS table
size only changes on P5 chips with older firmware.

Patch 3 adds HW tests in rss_drv.py (devices without dynamic table
sizing are skipped):
  resize_periodic - fold/unfold with a non-default [3,2,1,0]
    sub-table (user_size=4), verifying exact content preservation
    (main + ctx)
  resize_below_user_size_reject - periodic sub-table with user_size
    between big and small device table sizes; verifies that shrinking
    below user_size is rejected even when the table is periodic
    (main + ctx)
  resize_nonperiodic_reject - non-periodic table blocks channel
    reduction, with an extra periodic context to exercise
    multi-context validation (main + ctx)
  resize_nonperiodic_no_corruption - failed resize leaves table
    contents and channel count unchanged (main + ctx)

Running the tests:

  # On real hardware
  sudo NETIF=eth0 ./rss_drv.py

Changes v4 -> v5:

 - Track user-provided indirection table size (user_size) as a resize
   floor. Added indir_user_size to ethtool_rxfh_context and
   rss_indir_user_size to ethtool_netdev_state. ethtool_rxfh_can_resize()
   and ethtool_rxfh_resize() now take a user_size parameter and reject
   shrinking below it. (Jakub)
 - Propagated user_size out of rss_set_prep_indir() and stored it on
   successful set in both netlink and ioctl paths.
 - resize_periodic test now sends a 4-entry sub-table (user_size=4)
   instead of replicating to full device table size
 - Added resize_below_user_size_reject test to verify user_size floor.
 - Removed "Open items" section - user_size tracking is now implemented.

Changes v3 -> v4:

 - Rebased onto net-next
 - Added Reviewed-by: from Michael
 - Added missing Cc: to make the pwbots happier

Changes v2 -> v3:

 - Changed ethtool_rxfh_can_resize() to return bool instead of int;
   true means resize is possible, false means it is not. Inverted
   callers accordingly. (Jakub)
 - Added Tested-by from Pavan

Changes v1 -> v2:

 - Dropped netdevsim support and netdevsim selftest (Jakub)
 - Split ethtool_rxfh_contexts_resize_all() into separate validate
   (ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_can_resize) and apply (ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_resize)
   so drivers can validate before closing the device (Jakub)
 - Shortened helper names (Jakub)
 - Replaced scoped_guard(mutex) with explicit mutex_lock/unlock
   (Jakub)
 - Removed defensive zero-size check, bare expressions instead of != 0
   comparisons, ! instead of == 0 (Jakub)
 - In bnxt, moved bnxt_check_rings() before RSS validation and
   deferred actual resize to after bnxt_close_nic() (Jakub, Michael)
 - Added comment that RSS table size only changes on P5 chips with
   older firmware (Michael)
 - Use non-default [3,2,1,0]xN pattern set via netlink to distinguish
   correct fold from driver resetting to defaults (Jakub)
 - Check exact indirection table pattern, not just set(indir) (Jakub)
 - Use ksft_raises() instead of try/except/else (Jakub)
 - Removed queue_count=8 from NetDrvEnv (Jakub)
 - Added ksft_variants to resize_nonperiodic_reject for ctx coverage
 - Added extra periodic context in reject test for multi-context
   validation coverage
 - Added resize_nonperiodic_no_corruption test

The core locks ctx->indir_size when an RSS context is created. Some
NICs (e.g. bnxt) change their indirection table size based on the
channel count, because the hardware table is a shared resource. This
forces drivers to reject channel changes when RSS contexts exist.

Add helpers to resize indirection tables:

ethtool_rxfh_can_resize() checks whether a table can be resized
without modifying it.

ethtool_rxfh_resize() resizes a raw u32 table in place. Folding
(shrink) requires the table to be periodic at the new size;
non-periodic tables are rejected. Unfolding (grow) replicates the
existing pattern. Sizes must be multiples of each other.

Both ethtool_rxfh_can_resize() and ethtool_rxfh_resize() take a
user_size parameter: the number of indirection table entries the user
originally provided. When shrinking, the table will not fold below
this floor.

ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_can_resize() validates all non-default RSS contexts
can be resized. ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_resize() applies the resize and
sends ETHTOOL_MSG_RSS_NTF per resized context after releasing
rss_lock.

No reallocation is needed because ethtool_rxfh_ctx_alloc() reserves
space for rxfh_indir_space entries, and key_off is based on that
maximum.

bnxt_set_channels() rejects channel changes that alter the RSS table
size when IFF_RXFH_CONFIGURED is set, because non-default context
sizes were locked at creation.

Replace the rejection with the new resize helpers. All validation runs
before the device is closed; actual resize is deferred until after
bnxt_close_nic():

 1. ethtool_rxfh_can_resize() checks context 0, passing
    dev->ethtool->rss_indir_user_size as the user_size floor.
 2. ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_can_resize() validates all non-default contexts.
 3. After bnxt_close_nic(), ethtool_rxfh_resize() applies context 0
    changes, and ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_resize() resizes non-default
    contexts.

RSS table size only changes on P5 chips with older firmware; newer
firmware always uses the largest table size.

When context 0 uses defaults (!IFF_RXFH_CONFIGURED), steps 1 and 3 are
skipped; the driver regenerates the table via
bnxt_set_dflt_rss_indir_tbl().

Add resize tests to rss_drv.py. Devices without dynamic table sizing
are skipped via _require_dynamic_indir_size().

resize_periodic: set a periodic 4-entry table, shrink channels to
fold, grow back to unfold. Check the exact pattern is preserved. Has
main and non-default context variants.

resize_below_user_size_reject: send a periodic table with user_size
between the big and small device table sizes. Verify that shrinking
below user_size is rejected even though the table is periodic. Has
main and non-default context variants.

resize_nonperiodic_reject: set a non-periodic table (equal N), verify
that channel reduction is rejected.

resize_nonperiodic_no_corruption: verify a failed resize leaves both
the indirection table contents and the channel count unchanged.

Weak preference for return user_size; instead of output arg, 7th, "p"?

Now that we know the size of the table that user has set 
we can skip the netif_is_rxfh_configured(dev) and depend fully on
ethtool_rxfh_can_resize(... rss_indir_user_size) ?

Otherwise we're not making much use of dev->ethtool->rss_indir_user_size
(the one for the default context / context 0).
Regardless of the table size user provided IFF_RXFH_CONFIGURED will be
set.

Which brings me to my last point - I think you can delete
IFF_RXFH_CONFIGURED and have netif_is_rxfh_configured(dev)
operate on ..user_size ? We should probably have a new helper
for when driver lost control over rings and has to reset indir table
forgetting user config (bnxt mlx5 clearing IFF_RXFH_CONFIGURED).
Helper should clear the state and issue a Netlink notification?
