Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: ipa: properly limit modem routing table use

IPA can route packets between IPA-connected entities. The AP and
modem are currently the only such entities supported, and no routing
is required to transfer packets between them.

The number of entries in each routing table is fixed, and defined at
initialization time. Some of these entries are designated for use
by the modem, and the rest are available for the AP to use. The AP
sends a QMI message to the modem which describes (among other
things) information about routing table memory available for the
modem to use.

Currently the QMI initialization packet gives wrong information in
its description of routing tables. What *should* be supplied is the
maximum index that the modem can use for the routing table memory
located at a given location. The current code instead supplies the
total *number* of routing table entries. Furthermore, the modem is
granted the entire table, not just the subset it's supposed to use.

This patch fixes this. First, the ipa_mem_bounds structure is
generalized so its "end" field can be interpreted either as a final
byte offset, or a final array index. Second, the IPv4 and IPv6
(non-hashed and hashed) table information fields in the QMI
ipa_init_modem_driver_req structure are changed to be ipa_mem_bounds
rather than ipa_mem_array structures. Third, we set the "end" value
for each routing table to be the last index, rather than setting the
"count" to be the number of indices. Finally, instead of allowing
the modem to use all of a routing table's memory, it is limited to
just the portion meant to be used by the modem. In all versions of
IPA currently supported, that is IPA_ROUTE_MODEM_COUNT (8) entries.

Update a few comments for clarity.

v2: Update the element info arrays defining the modified QMI message
so it uses the ipa_mem_bounds_ei structure rather than the
ipa_mem_array_ei structure. The message format is identical,
but the code was incorrect without that change.

Unclear to me why, ipa_mem_bounds_ei and ipa_mem_array_ei seem
identical, other than s/end/count/. Overall the patch feels
a touch too verbose for a fix, makes it harder to grasp the key
functional change IMHO. I could be misunderstanding but please
keep the goal of making fixes small and crisp in mind for the future.

I see you've already accepted the patch, and I appreciate that.

The verbosity was because it was maybe a subtle difference
and I failed to be more concise describing it.

Over the wire, the ipa_mem_bounds and ipa_mem_array *look*
identical (both are a pair of 32-bit unsigned values).

But they are *semantically* different. The "array" is a
base offset and number of entries. The "bounds" specifies
the start and last offset (one less than the number of
entries).

So the type has changed to try to make the distinction
clearer. I realize neither the compiler nor the QMI
implementation will distinguish it, but the hope is that
the human reader can derive some value from it.

I don't want to be any more verbose, so I'll leave it at
that.

;) To be clear I meant code changes only.

For the commit message and discussions the more verbose the better.
