[net-next v4 1/2] tg3: Link IRQs to NAPI instances

From: Joe Damato

Link IRQs to NAPI instances with netif_napi_set_irq. This information
can be queried with the netdev-genl API.

Begin by testing my tg3 device in its default state: 1 TX queue and 4 RX
queues.

Compare the output of /proc/interrupts for my tg3 device with the output of
netdev-genl after applying this patch:

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep eth0
343: [...] eth0-tx-0
344: [...] eth0-rx-1
345: [...] eth0-rx-2
346: [...] eth0-rx-3
347: [...] eth0-rx-4

As you can see above, tg3 has named the IRQs such that there is a
dedicated tx IRQ and 4 dedicated rx IRQs, for a total of 5 IRQs.

$ ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/netdev.yaml \
--dump napi-get --json='{"ifindex": 2}'

[{'id': 8197, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 347},
{'id': 8196, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 346},
{'id': 8195, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 345},
{'id': 8194, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 344},
{'id': 8193, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 343}]

Netlink displays the same IRQs as above, noting that each is mapped to a
unique NAPI instance.

Now, reconfigure the NIC to have 4 TX queues and 4 RX queues:

$ sudo ethtool -L eth0 rx 4 tx 4
$ sudo ethtool -l eth0 | tail -5
Current hardware settings:
RX: 4
TX: 4
Other: n/a
Combined: n/a

Examine /proc/interrupts once again, noting that tg3 will now rename the
IRQs to suggest that they are combined tx and rx without allocating
additional IRQs, so the total IRQ count in /proc/interrupts is
unchanged:

343: [...] eth0-0
344: [...] eth0-txrx-1
345: [...] eth0-txrx-2
346: [...] eth0-txrx-3
347: [...] eth0-txrx-4

Check the output from netlink again:

$ ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/netdev.yaml \
--dump napi-get --json='{"ifindex": 2}'
[{'id': 8973, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 347},
{'id': 8972, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 346},
{'id': 8971, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 345},
{'id': 8970, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 344},
{'id': 8969, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 343}]
