====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates

This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.

Shannon makes minor changes to the AdminQ interface to bring it up to
date.  Removes the hard coding of stats struct size in ethtool, in prep
for adding data fields which are configuration dependent.

Catherine removes some unused and unneeded PCI bus defines.

Jesse fixes the copyright headers and finishes up the removal of the PTP
Tx work functionality which allows us to rely on the Tx timesync interrupt.

Mitch provides a number of fixes and cleanups for i40e/i40evf based on
suggestions from Ben Hutchings.  First is to use a macro parameter for
ethtool stats instead of just assuming that a valid netdev variable
exists.  Second is not to tell ethtool that the VF can do 10GbaseT, when
it really has no idea what its link speed is, so set the supported value
to 0 instead.  Make the ethtool_ops structure constant since it is
extremely unlikely to change at runtime.  Ethtool consistently reports
0 values for our ITR settings because we never actually use them, so
fix this by setting the default values to the specified default values.

Greg avoids a compile error by wrapping the call to i40e_alloc_vfs() in
CONFIG_PCI_IOV because the function itself is wrapped in the same
conditional compile block.

Alexander Gordeev updates the driver to use the new pci_enable_msi_range()
and pci_enable_msix_range() or pci_enable_msi_exact() and
pci_enable_msix_exact().

Jean Sacren provides a fix where the wrong error code was being passed to
i40e_open().

      tcp: make cwnd-limited checks measurement-based, and gentler · ca8a2263
      Neal Cardwell authored 
      Experience with the recent e114a710 ("tcp: fix cwnd limited
checking to improve congestion control") has shown that there are
common cases where that commit can cause cwnd to be much larger than
necessary. This leads to TSO autosizing cooking skbs that are too
large, among other things.

The main problems seemed to be:

(1) That commit attempted to predict the future behavior of the
connection by looking at the write queue (if TSO or TSQ limit
sending). That prediction sometimes overestimated future outstanding
packets.

(2) That commit always allowed cwnd to grow to twice the number of
outstanding packets (even in congestion avoidance, where this is not
needed).

This commit improves both of these, by:

(1) Switching to a measurement-based approach where we explicitly
track the largest number of packets in flight during the past window
("max_packets_out"), and remember whether we were cwnd-limited at the
moment we finished sending that flight.

(2) Only allowing cwnd to grow to twice the number of outstanding
packets ("max_packets_out") in slow start. In congestion avoidance
mode we now only allow cwnd to grow if it was fully utilized.
