This patch adds support setting VF PVID by hns3 PF kernel ethdev driver
on the host by "ip link set <eth num> vf <vf id> vlan <vlan tag>"
command.
Because of the hardware constraints, the striped VLAN tag will always in
Rx descriptors which should has been dropped when PVID is enabled and
the PVID will overwrite the outer VLAN tag in Tx descriptor. So, hns3
PMD driver need to change the processing of VLAN tags in the process of
Tx and Rx according to whether PVID is enabled.
1) If the hns3 PF kernel ethdev driver sets the PVID for VF device
before the initialization of the related VF device, hns3 VF PMD
driver should get the PVID state from PF driver through mailbox and
update the related state in txq and rxq maintained by hns3 VF driver
to change the process of Tx and Rx.
2) If the hns3 PF kernel ethdev driver sets the PVID for VF device after
initialization of the related VF device, the PF driver will notify VF
driver to update the PVID state. The VF driver will update the PVID
configuration state immediately to ensure that the VLAN process in Tx
and Rx is correct. But in the window period of this state transition,
packets loss or packets with wrong VLAN may occur.
3) Due to hardware limitations, we only support two-layer VLAN hardware
offload in Tx direction based on hns3 network engine, so when PVID is
enabled, QinQ insert is no longer supported. And when PVID is
enabled, in the following two cases:
i) packets with more than two VLAN tags.
ii) packets with one VLAN tag while the hardware VLAN insert is
enabled.
The packets will be regarded as abnormal packets and discarded by
hardware in Tx direction. For debugging purposes, a validation check
for these types of packets is added to the '.tx_pkt_prepare' ops
implementation function named hns3_prep_pkts to inform users that
these packets will be discarded.
