net/mlx4_core: Don't fail reg/unreg vlan for older guests
In upstream kernels under SRIOV, the vlan register/unregister calls were NOPs (doing nothing and returning OK). We detect these old calls from guests (via the comm channel), since previously the port number in mlx4_register_vlan was passed (improperly) in the out_param. This has been corrected so that the port number is now passed in bits 8..15 of the in_modifier field. For old calls, these bits will be zero, so if the passed port number is zero, we can still look at the out_param field to see if it contains a valid port number. If yes, the VM is running an old driver. Since for old drivers, the register/unregister_vlan wrappers were NOPs, we continue this policy -- the reason being that upstream had an additional bug in eth driver running on guests (where procedure mlx4_en_vlan_rx_kill_vid() had the following code: if (!mlx4_find_cached_vlan(mdev->dev, priv->port, vid, &idx)) mlx4_unregister_vlan(mdev->dev, priv->port, idx); else en_err(priv, "could not find vid %d in cache\n", vid); On a VM, mlx4_find_cached_vlan() will always fail, since the vlan cache is located on the Hypervisor; on guests it is empty. Therefore, if we allow upstream guests to register vlans, we will have vlan leakage since the unregister will never be performed. Leaving vlan reg/unreg for old guest drivers as a NOP is not a feature regression, since in upstream the register/unregister vlan wrapper is a NOP.
