When doing the following test steps, an error was found:
  step 1: modprobe virtio_net succeeded
    # modprobe virtio_net        &lt;-- OK

  step 2: fault injection in register_netdevice()
    # modprobe -r virtio_net     &lt;-- OK

      virtio_net: probe of virtio0 failed with error -22

  step 3: modprobe virtio_net failed
    # modprobe virtio_net        &lt;-- failed
      virtio_net: probe of virtio0 failed with error -2

The root cause of the problem is that the queues are not
disable on the error handling path when register_netdevice()
fails in virtnet_probe(), resulting in an error "-ENOENT"
returned in the next modprobe call in setup_vq().

virtio_pci_modern_device uses virtqueues to send or
receive message, and "queue_enable" records whether the
queues are available. In vp_modern_find_vqs(), all queues
will be selected and activated, but once queues are enabled
there is no way to go back except reset.

Fix it by reset virtio device on error handling path. This
makes error handling follow the same order as normal device
cleanup in virtnet_remove() which does: unregister, destroy
failover, then reset. And that flow is better tested than
error handling so we can be reasonably sure it works well.

<content type='text'>
Currently add_recvbuf_big() allocates MAX_SKB_FRAGS segments for big
packets even when GUEST_* offloads are not present on the device.
However, if guest GSO is not supported, it would be sufficient to
allocate segments to cover just up the MTU size and no further.
Allocating the maximum amount of segments results in a large waste of
buffer space in the queue, which limits the number of packets that can
be buffered and can result in reduced performance.

Therefore, if guest GSO is not supported, use the MTU to calculate the
optimal amount of segments required.

Below is the iperf TCP test results over a Mellanox NIC, using vDPA for
1 VQ, queue size 1024, before and after the change, with the iperf
server running over the virtio-net interface.

MTU(Bytes)/Bandwidth (Gbit/s)
             Before   After
  1500        22.5     22.4
  9000        12.8     25.9

And result of queue size 256.
MTU(Bytes)/Bandwidth (Gbit/s)
             Before   After
  9000        2.15     11.9

With this patch no degradation is observed with multiple below tests and
feature bit combinations. Results are summarized below for q depth of
1024. Interface MTU is 1500 if MTU feature is disabled. MTU is set to 9000
in other tests.

Features/              Bandwidth (Gbit/s)
                         Before   After
mtu off                   20.1     20.2

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 762faee5a2678559d3dc09d95f8f2c54cd0466a7.

This has been reported to trip up guests on GCP (Google Cloud).
The reason is that virtio_find_vqs_ctx_size is broken on legacy
devices. We can in theory fix virtio_find_vqs_ctx_size but
in fact the patch itself has several other issues:

- It treats unknown speed as &lt; 10G
- It leaves userspace no way to find out the ring size set by hypervisor
- It tests speed when link is down
- It ignores the virtio spec advice:
        Both \field{speed} and \field{duplex} can change, thus the driver
        is expected to re-read these values after receiving a
        configuration change notification.
- It is not clear the performance impact has been tested properly

Revert the patch for now.

New VirtIO network feature: VIRTIO_NET_F_NOTF_COAL.

Control a Virtio network device notifications coalescing parameters
using the control virtqueue.

A device that supports this fetature can receive
VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_NOTF_COAL control commands.

- VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_NOTF_COAL_TX_SET:
  Ask the network device to change the following parameters:
  - tx_usecs: Maximum number of usecs to delay a TX notification.
  - tx_max_packets: Maximum number of packets to send before a
    TX notification.

- VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_NOTF_COAL_RX_SET:
  Ask the network device to change the following parameters:
  - rx_usecs: Maximum number of usecs to delay a RX notification.
  - rx_max_packets: Maximum number of packets to receive before a
    RX notification.
