Subject: net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: Add RSS support

This commit adds Receive Side Scaling support for the mtk_eth_soc driver,
enabling up to four RX rings on MT7988 with ethtool -x and
--set-rxfh-indir support. It also reworks the RX NAPI / IRQ handling
into per-ring instances and renames eth->irq[] to eth->irq_fe[] /
eth->irq_pdma[].

[High]
With RSS enabled, up to MTK_RX_NAPI_NUM (=4) NAPI instances can run
concurrently on different CPUs.  eth->rx_packets, eth->rx_bytes (here)
and eth->rx_events (incremented in mtk_handle_irq_rx with IRQF_SHARED)
are plain u32 fields with no atomic, no spinlock, and no per-CPU
storage:

	eth->rx_packets += done;
	eth->rx_bytes += bytes;
	dim_update_sample(eth->rx_events, eth->rx_packets, eth->rx_bytes,
			  &dim_sample);
	net_dim(&eth->rx_dim, &dim_sample);

Pre-patch a single rx_napi serialised these accesses.  Are these
unsynchronised cross-CPU updates intentional?  The corrupted values
feed dim_update_sample() / net_dim() which drives interrupt
moderation, and eth->rx_dim is a single struct dim shared across all
RX NAPIs.

[Medium]
mtk_napi_rx() calls mtk_handle_status_irq(eth) on entry of every poll.
mtk_handle_status_irq() does an unprotected read / clear of
MTK_INT_STATUS2 and calls mtk_stats_update():

	status2 = mtk_r32(eth, MTK_INT_STATUS2);
	if (unlikely(status2 & (MTK_GDM1_AF | MTK_GDM2_AF))) {
		mtk_stats_update(eth);
		mtk_w32(eth, (MTK_GDM1_AF | MTK_GDM2_AF), MTK_INT_STATUS2);
	}

With multiple rx_napi instances polling on different CPUs, can a fresh
AF event arriving between the read and the write be silently dropped,
or stats be double-counted?  The per-MAC stats_lock taken inside
mtk_stats_update_mac does not synchronise the status read or the
clear.

[Medium]
Is this block reachable on any SoC?  mtk_rss_init() is only invoked
from mtk_dma_init() under MTK_HAS_CAPS(MTK_RSS).  Only mt7988_data
sets MTK_RSS in caps, and mt7988_data uses
rx.desc_size = sizeof(struct mtk_rx_dma_v2), not
sizeof(struct mtk_rx_dma).

If the PSE-mode / MTK_NON_LRO_MULTI_EN / MTK_LRO_DLY_INT_EN
programming is needed on MT7988, is it being silently skipped?  If it
was intended for mt7981 / mt7986, those SoCs never reach this path
because their caps lack MTK_RSS.

There is also a typo above: "RSS dly int supoort" -> "support".

[High]
This loop demands all four pdma0..pdma3 IRQs whenever
MTK_HAS_CAPS(MTK_PDMA_INT) is set, but the same patch adds
MTK_PDMA_INT to MT7981_CAPS and MT7986_CAPS — SoCs which do not
have MTK_RSS.  On those SoCs only rx_napi[0] / pdma0 is ever
referenced (every pdma1..pdma3 use site is gated on
MTK_HAS_CAPS(MTK_RSS) in probe / open / stop / dma_init / dma_free).

Existing MT7981 / MT7986 device trees declare only fe1 / fe2.  Does
this turn into a probe-time -ENXIO failure for those boards?  Should
the call to mtk_get_irqs_pdma(), or at least the requests for
pdma1..pdma3, be folded under MTK_HAS_CAPS(MTK_RSS) so older DTs
continue to probe?

[High]
Pre-patch mt7988_data set rx.irq_done_mask = MTK_RX_DONE_INT_V2 =
BIT(14).  Post-patch the per-soc field is removed and replaced with
MTK_RX_DONE_INT(eth, ring_no), which for V3 (mt7988) expands to
BIT(24 + ring_no), so MTK_RX_DONE_INT(eth, 0) is now BIT(24) instead
of BIT(14).

Is the bit number change intentional?  If MT7988 RX-done is actually
signalled on BIT(14), the new mask never matches, mtk_handle_irq_rx
returns IRQ_NONE, and RX traffic stalls.  If BIT(14) was wrong all
along, could the commit message describe the silent fix?  The patch
otherwise advertises only RSS.

[Critical]
The new branch is gated on rx.desc_size, not on a capability bit.
rt5350_data (MT7628) has rx.desc_size = sizeof(struct mtk_rx_dma) and
uses mt7628_reg_map, which does not initialise lro_rx1_dly_int (it
defaults to 0).

mtk_hw_init() calls mtk_dim_rx(&eth->rx_dim.work) inside the MT7628
branch, and net_dim invokes it again on every moderation update.  Each
call therefore performs:

	mtk_w32(eth, val, 0);
	mtk_w32(eth, val, 0x4);
	mtk_w32(eth, val, 0x8);

These offsets land in the Frame Engine global config region
(MTK_FE_GLO_CFG(0) = 0x00 etc.) instead of any LRO/RSS register, with
val containing MTK_PDMA_DELAY_RX_EN = BIT(15).  Can this corrupt
MT7628 frame-engine state on every boot and every NAPI moderation
update?  Should the branch be gated on MTK_HWLRO or MTK_RSS rather
than on rx.desc_size?

[Medium]
On V3 hardware (the only chip enabling RSS) only two ring slots are
programmed here:

	val = val | (val << MTK_PDMA_DELAY_RX_RING_SHIFT);
	mtk_w32(eth, val, reg_map->pdma.rx_delay_irq);

With MTK_PDMA_DELAY_RX_RING_SHIFT = 16 the register holds two rings,
but RSS uses MTK_RX_RSS_NUM(eth) = 4 rings.  Do rings 2 and 3 ever
receive DIM-driven moderation updates after probe, or do they stay at
the hardware default?

[High]
Should this op (and .get_rxfh / .get_rxfh_key_size /
.get_rxfh_indir_size) be gated on MTK_HAS_CAPS(MTK_RSS)?  As written,
mtk_ethtool_ops exposes them unconditionally for every SoC the driver
supports.

MTK_RSS_HASH_KEY_DW(reg_map, x) and MTK_RSS_INDR_TABLE_DW(reg_map, x)
are computed as (reg_map)->pdma.rss_glo_cfg + 0x20 + ... and + 0x50 +
... .  mtk_reg_map (mt2701/mt7621/mt7622/mt7623/mt7629) and
mt7628_reg_map do not initialise rss_glo_cfg, so it defaults to 0.

A CAP_NET_ADMIN user invoking ethtool -X dev hkey ... on those SoCs
would write user-controlled u32 values into absolute frame-engine
offsets 0x20..0x44 (and indirection writes to 0x50..0x6c).  Can these
ops be made conditional on MTK_RSS, or filled in only for the RSS-
capable SoC?

[Medium]
mtk_set_rxfh() does not validate user-supplied indir[i] entries
against MTK_RX_RSS_NUM(eth).  The packing helper allots only 2 bits
per entry:

	val |= (rss_params->indirection_table[i] << (2 * (i % 16)));

ethtool core only enforces indir[i] < num_rx_rings when
num_rx_rings is non-zero, and MTK_RSS hardware has at most 4 rings.
Should the driver reject values >= MTK_RX_RSS_NUM(eth) so they don't
silently bleed across the 2-bit slots in the packed register?  The
indirection table also stores the raw u32 into a u8 field, which
truncates 4..255 instead of catching them.

[Medium]
mtk_rss_init() wraps key / indirection writes with an
MTK_RSS_CFG_REQ pause / release handshake:

	/* Pause */
	val |= MTK_RSS_CFG_REQ;
	mtk_w32(eth, val, reg_map->pdma.rss_glo_cfg);
	...
	/* Release pause */
	val &= ~(MTK_RSS_CFG_REQ);

mtk_set_rxfh() writes the same registers at runtime without that
handshake.  Can the hardware sample partially-updated key /
indirection state and steer packets to incorrect or out-of-range
rings while the write loop is in flight?

mt7981_data and mt7986_data set rss_num = 4, but MT7981_CAPS and
MT7986_CAPS do not include MTK_RSS (only MT7988_CAPS does).  Every
RSS code path is gated on MTK_HAS_CAPS(MTK_RSS) before consulting
rss_num, so this has no current effect, but the SoC capability table
becomes internally inconsistent.  Should rss_num be 0 on these SoCs
until MTK_RSS is actually wired up and tested for them?
