The min_tx_pkt variable decides the cutoff point where the driver
will stop padding out NTBs to maximum size. The padding is a tradeoff
where we use some USB bus bandwidth to allow the device to receive
fixed size buffers. Different devices will have different optimal
settings, spanning from no padding at all to padding every NTB.
There is no way to automatically figure out which setting is best
for a specific device.
The default value is a reasonable tradeoff, calculated based on the
USB packet size and out NTB max size. This may have to be changed
along with any tx_max changes.

The mandatory GetNtbParameters control request is an important part of
the host <-> device protocol negotiation in CDC NCM (and CDC MBIM). It
gives device limits which the host must obey when configuring the
protocol aggregation variables. The driver will enforce this by
rejecting attempts to set any of the tunable variables to a value
which is not supported by the device. Exporting the parameter block
helps userspace decide which values are allowed without resorting
to trial and error.

Attach a driver specific sysfs group to the netdev, and use it
for the rx/tx aggregation variables.
The datagram aggregation defined by the CDC NCM specification is
specific to this device class (including CDC MBIM). Using the
ethtool interrupt coalesce API as an interface to the aggregation
parameters redefined that API in a driver specific and confusing
way. A sysfs group
- makes it clear that this is a driver specific userspace API, and
- allows us to export the real values instead of some translated
version, and
- lets us include more aggregation variables which were impossible
to force into the ethtool API.
Additionally, using sysfs allows tuning the driver on space
constrained hosts where userspace tools like ethtool are undesired.

It doesn't matter whether the buffer size goes up or down. We have to
keep usbnet and device syncronized to be able to split transfers at the
correct boundaries. The spec allow skipping short packets when using
max sized transfers. If we don't tell usbnet about our new expected rx
buffer size, then it will merge and/or split NTBs. The driver does not
support this, and the result will be lots of framing errors.
Fix by always reallocating usbnet rx buffers when the rx_max value

To have an idea of the effects of the protocol coalescing
it's useful to have some counters showing the different
aspects.
Due to the asymmetrical usbnet interface the netdev
rx_bytes counter has been counting real received payload,
while the tx_bytes counter has included the NCM/MBIM
framing overhead. This overhead can be many times the
payload because of the aggressive padding strategy of
this driver, and will vary a lot depending on device
and traffic.
With very few exceptions, users are only interested in
the payload size. Having an somewhat accurate payload
byte counter is particularly important for mobile
broadband devices, which many NCM devices and of course
all MBIM devices are. Users and userspace applications
will use this counter to monitor account quotas.
Having protocol specific counters for the overhead, we are
now able to correct the tx_bytes netdev counter so that
it shows the real payload

Datagram coalescing is an integral part of the NCM and MBIM
protocols, intended to reduce the interrupt load primarily
on the device end of the USB link. As with all coalescing
solutions, there is a trade-off between buffering and
interrupts.
The current defaults are based on the assumption that device
side buffers should be the limiting factor. However, many
modern high speed LTE modems suffers from buffer-bloat,
making this assumption fail. This results in sub-optimal
performance due to excessive coalescing. And in cases where
such modems are connected to cheap embedded hosts there is
often severe buffer allocation issues, giving very noticeable
performance degradation .
A start on improving this is going from build time hard
coded limits to per device user configurable limits. The
ethtool coalescing API was selected as user interface
because, although the tuned values are buffer sizes, these
settings directly control datagram coalescing.

The NCM class match in the cdc_mbim driver is confusing and
cause unexpected behaviour. The USB core guarantees that a
USB interface is in altsetting 0 when probing starts. This
means that devices implementing a NCM 1.0 backwards
compatible MBIM function (a "NCM/MBIM function") always hit
the NCM entry in the cdc_mbim driver match table. Such
functions will never match any of the MBIM entries.
This causes unexpeced behaviour for cases where the NCM and
MBIM entries are differet, which is currently the case for
all except Ericsson devices.
Improve the probing of NCM/MBIM functions by looking up the
device again in the cdc_mbim match table after switching to
the MBIM identity.
The shared altsetting selection is updated to better
accommodate the new probing logic, returning the preferred
altsetting for the control interface instead of the data
interface. The control interface altsetting update is moved
to the cdc_mbim driver. It is never necessary to change the
control interface altsetting for NCM.

flag set. This meant that frames of any size will be sent without
additional padding, except for the single byte added if the size is
a multiple of the USB packet size. But if the unpadded size is
identical to the maximum frame size, and the maximum size is a
multiplum of the USB packet size, then this one-byte padding will
overflow the buffer.
Prevent padding if already at maximum frame size, letting usbnet
transmit a ZLP instead in this case.
