net/mlx4_core: New init and exit flow for mlx4_core
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In the new flow, we separate the pci initialization and teardown
from the initialization and teardown of the other resources.

__mlx4_init_one handles the pci resources initialization. It then
calls mlx4_load_one to initialize the remainder of the resources.

When removing a device, mlx4_remove_one is invoked. However, now
mlx4_remove_one calls mlx4_unload_one to free all the resources except the pci
resources. When mlx4_unload_one returns, mlx4_remove_one then frees the
pci resources.

The above separation will allow us to implement 'reset flow' in the future.
It will also enable more EQs for VFs and is a pre-step to the modern API to
enable/disable SRIOV.

Also added nvfs; an integer array of size MLX4_MAX_PORTS + 1; to the mlx4_dev
struct. This new field is used to avoid parsing the num_vfs module parameter
each time the mlx4_restart_one is called.
