Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-06-04

This series contains a smorgasbord of updates to documentation, e1000e,
igb, ixgbe, ixgbevf and i40e.

Benjamin Poirier fixes a potential kernel crash due to NULL pointer
dereference in e1000e.

Jeff updates the kernel documentation for e100 and e1000 to correct
default values and URLs which were incorrect in the documentation.  Also
took the time to update these to the new reStructured text format for
kernel documentation.

Joanna Yurdal fixes a missing PTP transmit timestamp by ensuring that
TSICR gets cleared when ICR is cleared.

Sergey updates igb to reset all the transmit queues at one time so that
we only have to wait once for all the queues to be reset.

Alex fixes ixgbevf so that malicious driver detection (MDD) can co-exist
with XDP.

Emil and Tony extend the RTNL lock to ensure we get the most up-to-date
values for the bits and avoid a possible race condition when going down.

YueHaibing from Huawei introduces a helper function in ixgbe for
operation reads to simplify the code a bit more.

Daniel Borkmann adds support for XDP meta data when using build SKB
for i40e.

Shannon Nelson provides twp fixes for the IPSec code in ixgbe, first is
to make sure we do not try to offload the decryption of any incoming
packet that is destined for the management engine.  The other fix is to
resolve a cast problem introduced by a sparse cleanup patch.

TxDescriptorStep
----------------
Valid Range: 1 (use every Tx Descriptor)
4 (use every 4th Tx Descriptor)
Default Value: 1 (use every Tx Descriptor)
On certain non-Intel architectures, it has been observed that intense TX
traffic bursts of short packets may result in an improper descriptor
writeback. If this occurs, the driver will report a "TX Timeout" and reset
the adapter, after which the transmit flow will restart, though data may
have stalled for as much as 10 seconds before it resumes.
The improper writeback does not occur on the first descriptor in a system
memory cache-line, which is typically 32 bytes, or 4 descriptors long.
Setting TxDescriptorStep to a value of 4 will ensure that all TX descriptors
are aligned to the start of a system memory cache line, and so this problem
will not occur.
NOTES: Setting TxDescriptorStep to 4 effectively reduces the number of
TxDescriptors available for transmits to 1/4 of the normal allocation.
This has a possible negative performance impact, which may be
compensated for by allocating more descriptors using the TxDescriptors
module parameter.
There are other conditions which may result in "TX Timeout", which will
not be resolved by the use of the TxDescriptorStep parameter. As the
issue addressed by this parameter has never been observed on Intel
Architecture platforms, it should not be used on Intel platforms.
