Michal Schmidt d2940002b0 ice: fix VSI lists confusion when adding VLANs
The description of function ice_find_vsi_list_entry says:
  Search VSI list map with VSI count 1

However, since the blamed commit (see Fixes below), the function no
longer checks vsi_count. This causes a problem in ice_add_vlan_internal,
where the decision to share VSI lists between filter rules relies on the
vsi_count of the found existing VSI list being 1.

The reproducing steps:
1. Have a PF and two VFs.
   There will be a filter rule for VLAN 0, referring to a VSI list
   containing VSIs: 0 (PF), 2 (VF#0), 3 (VF#1).
2. Add VLAN 1234 to VF#0.
   ice will make the wrong decision to share the VSI list with the new
   rule. The wrong behavior may not be immediately apparent, but it can
   be observed with debug prints.
3. Add VLAN 1234 to VF#1.
   ice will unshare the VSI list for the VLAN 1234 rule. Due to the
   earlier bad decision, the newly created VSI list will contain
   VSIs 0 (PF) and 3 (VF#1), instead of expected 2 (VF#0) and 3 (VF#1).
4. Try pinging a network peer over the VLAN interface on VF#0.
   This fails.

Patch adding the debug prints:
f8a8814623
(Unsafe, by the way. Lacks rule_lock when dumping in ice_remove_vlan.)

Michal Swiatkowski added to the explanation that the bug is caused by
reusing a VSI list created for VLAN 0. All created VFs' VSIs are added
to VLAN 0 filter. When a non-zero VLAN is created on a VF which is already
in VLAN 0 (normal case), the VSI list from VLAN 0 is reused.
It leads to a problem because all VFs (VSIs to be specific) that are
subscribed to VLAN 0 will now receive a new VLAN tag traffic. This is
one bug, another is the bug described above. Removing filters from
one VF will remove VLAN filter from the previous VF. It happens a VF is
reset. Example:
- creation of 3 VFs
- we have VSI list (used for VLAN 0) [0 (pf), 2 (vf1), 3 (vf2), 4 (vf3)]
- we are adding VLAN 100 on VF1, we are reusing the previous list
  because 2 is there
- VLAN traffic works fine, but VLAN 100 tagged traffic can be received
  on all VSIs from the list (for example broadcast or unicast)
- trust is turning on VF2, VF2 is resetting, all filters from VF2 are
  removed; the VLAN 100 filter is also removed because 3 is on the list
- VLAN traffic to VF1 isn't working anymore, there is a need to recreate
  VLAN interface to readd VLAN filter

One thing I'm not certain about is the implications for the LAG feature,
which is another caller of ice_find_vsi_list_entry. I don't have a
LAG-capable card at hand to test.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
