A firmware error is triggered when configuring a 9k MTU on the PF after
switching to switchdev mode and then using a vdpa device with larger
(1k) rings:
mlx5_cmd_out_err: CREATE_GENERAL_OBJECT(0xa00) op_mod(0xd) failed, status bad resource(0x5), syndrome (0xf6db90), err(-22)
This is due to the fact that the hw VQ size parameters are computed
based on the umem_1/2/3_buffer_param_a/b capabilities and all
device capabilities are read only when the driver is moved to switchdev mode.
The problematic configuration flow looks like this:
1) Create VF
2) Unbind VF
3) Switch PF to switchdev mode.
4) Bind VF
5) Set PF MTU to 9k
6) create vDPA device
7) Start VM with vDPA device and 1K queue size
Note that setting the MTU before step 3) doesn't trigger this issue.
This patch reads the forementioned umem parameters at the latest point
possible before the VQs of the device are created.
v2:
- Allocate output with kmalloc to reduce stack frame size.
- Removed stable from cc.

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.
