Currently, when rx csum is disabled, vmxnet3 driver does not turn
off lro, which can cause performance issues if user does not turn off
lro explicitly. This patch adds fix_features support which is used to
turn off LRO whenever RXCSUM is disabled.

vmxnet3_get_hdr_len() is used to calculate the header length which in
turn is used to calculate the gso_size for skb. When rxvlan offload is
disabled, vlan tag is present in the header and the function references
ip header from sizeof(ethhdr) and leads to incorrect pointer reference.
This patch fixes this issue by taking sizeof(vlan_ethhdr) into account
if vlan tag is present and correctly references the ip hdr.

'Commit 45dac1d6ea ("vmxnet3: Changes for vmxnet3 adapter version 2
(fwd)")' introduced a flag "lro" in structure vmxnet3_adapter which is
used to indicate whether LRO is enabled or not. However, the patch
did not set the flag and hence it was never exercised.
So, when LRO is enabled, it resulted in poor TCP performance due to
delayed acks. This issue is seen with packets which are larger than
the mss getting a delayed ack rather than an immediate ack, thus
resulting in high latency.
This patch removes the lro flag and directly uses device features
against NETIF_F_LRO to check if lro is enabled.

The field txNumDeferred is used by the driver to keep track of the number
of packets it has pushed to the emulation. The driver increments it on
pushing the packet to the emulation and the emulation resets it to 0 at
the end of the transmit.
There is a possibility of a race either when (a) ESX is under heavy load or
(b) workload inside VM is of low packet rate.
This race results in xmit hangs when network coalescing is disabled. This
change creates a local copy of txNumDeferred and uses it to perform ring
arithmetic.

There are several reasons for increasing the receive ring sizes:
1. The original ring size of 256 was chosen about 10 years ago when
vmxnet3 was first created. At that time, 10Gbps Ethernet was not prevalent
and servers were dominated by 1Gbps Ethernet. Now 10Gbps is common place,
and higher bandwidth links -- 25Gbps, 40Gbps, 50Gbps -- are starting
to appear. 256 Rx ring entries are simply not enough to keep up with
higher link speed when there is a burst of network frames coming from
these high speed links. Even with full MTU size frames, they are gone
in a short time. It is also more common to have a mix of frame sizes,
and more likely bi-modal distribution of frame sizes so the average frame
size is not close to full MTU. If we consider average frame size of 800B,
1024 frames that come in a burst takes ~0.65 ms to arrive at 10Gbps. With
256 entires, it takes ~0.16 ms to arrive at 10Gbps. At 25Gbps or 40Gbps,
this time is reduced accordingly.
2. On a hypervisor where there are many VMs and CPU is over committed,
i.e. the number of VCPUs is more than the number of VCPUs, each PCPU is
in effect time shared between multiple VMs/VCPUs. The time granularity at
which this multiplexing occurs is typically coarser than between processes
on a guest OS. Trying to time slice more finely is not efficient, for
example, if memory cache is barely warmed up when switching from one VM
to another occurs. This CPU overcommit adds delay to when the driver
in a VM can service incoming packets. Whether CPU is over committed
really depends on customer workloads. For certain situations, it is very
common. For example, workloads of desktop VMs and product testing setups.
Consolidation and sharing is what drives efficiency of a customer setup
for such workloads. In these situations, the raw network bandwidth may
not be very high, but the delays between when a VM is running or not
running can also be relatively long.

vmxnet3 driver preallocates buffers for receiving packets and posts the
buffers to the emulation. In order to deliver a received packet to the
guest, the emulation must map buffer(s) and copy the packet into it.
To avoid this memory mapping overhead, this patch introduces the receive
data ring - a set of small sized buffers that are always mapped by
the emulation. If a packet fits into the receive data ring buffer, the
emulation delivers the packet via the receive data ring (which must be
copied by the guest driver), or else the usual receive path is used.
Receive Data Ring buffer length is configurable via ethtool -G ethX rx-mini
