Currently, mlx5e notifies the kernel about the number of queues and sets
the default XPS cpumasks when channels are activated. This
implementation has several corner cases, in which the kernel may not be
updated on time, or XPS cpumasks may be reset when not directly touched
by the user.
This commit fixes these corner cases to match the following expected
behavior:
1. The number of queues always corresponds to the number of channels
configured.
2. XPS cpumasks are set to driver's defaults on netdev attach.
3. XPS cpumasks set by user are not reset, unless the number of channels
changes. If the number of channels changes, they are reset to driver's
defaults. (In general case, when the number of channels increases or
decreases, it's not possible to guess how to convert the current XPS
cpumasks to work with the new number of channels, so we let the user
reconfigure it if they change the number of channels.)
XPS cpumasks are no longer stored per channel. Only one temporary
cpumask is used. The old stored cpumasks didn't reflect the user's
changes and were not used after applying them.
A scratchpad area is added to struct mlx5e_priv. As cpumask_var_t
requires allocation, and the preactivate hook can't fail, we need to
preallocate the temporary cpumask in advance. It's stored in the
scratchpad.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
