[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.7 187/274] net: qed*: Reduce RX and TX default ring count when running inside kdump kernel

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Bhupesh Sharma <bhsharma@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 73e030977f7884dbe1be0018bab517e8d02760f8 ]

Normally kdump kernel(s) run under severe memory constraint with the
basic idea being to save the crashdump vmcore reliably when the primary
kernel panics/hangs.

Currently the qed* ethernet driver ends up consuming a lot of memory in
the kdump kernel, leading to kdump kernel panic when one tries to save
the vmcore via ssh/nfs (thus utilizing the services of the underlying
qed* network interfaces).

An example OOM message log seen in the kdump kernel can be seen here
[1], with crashkernel size reservation of 512M.

Using tools like memstrack (see [2]), we can track the modules taking up
the bulk of memory in the kdump kernel and organize the memory usage
output as per 'highest allocator first'. An example log for the OOM case
indicates that the qed* modules end up allocating approximately 216M
memory, which is a large part of the total crashkernel size:

 dracut-pre-pivot[676]: ======== Report format module_summary: ========
 dracut-pre-pivot[676]: Module qed using 149.6MB (2394 pages), peak allocation 149.6MB (2394 pages)
 dracut-pre-pivot[676]: Module qede using 65.3MB (1045 pages), peak allocation 65.3MB (1045 pages)

This patch reduces the default RX and TX ring count from 1024 to 64
when running inside kdump kernel, which leads to a significant memory
saving.

An example log with the patch applied shows the reduced memory
allocation in the kdump kernel:
 dracut-pre-pivot[674]: ======== Report format module_summary: ========
 dracut-pre-pivot[674]: Module qed using 141.8MB (2268 pages), peak allocation 141.8MB (2268 pages)
 <..snip..>
[dracut-pre-pivot[674]: Module qede using 4.8MB (76 pages), peak allocation 4.9MB (78 pages)

Tested crashdump vmcore save via ssh/nfs protocol using underlying qed*
network interface after applying this patch.
