    net/sched: taprio: centralize mqprio qopt validation · 1dfe086d
    Vladimir Oltean authored
    There is a lot of code in taprio which is "borrowed" from mqprio.
    It makes sense to put a stop to the "borrowing" and start actually
    reusing code.
    
    Because taprio and mqprio are built as part of different kernel modules,
    code reuse can only take place either by writing it as static inline
    (limiting), putting it in sch_generic.o (not generic enough), or
    creating a third auto-selectable kernel module which only holds library
    code. I opted for the third variant.
    
    In a previous change, mqprio gained support for reverse TC:TXQ mappings,
    something which taprio still denies. Make taprio use the same validation
    logic so that it supports this configuration as well.
    
    The taprio code didn't enforce TXQ overlaps in txtime-assist mode and
    that looks intentional, even if I've no idea why that might be. Preserve
    that, but add a comment.
    
    There isn't any dedicated MAINTAINERS entry for mqprio, so nothing to
    update there.
