[ Upstream commit 90bb769291161cf25a818d69cf608c181654473e ]
This patch prevents a race between user invoked cached counters query and a neighbor last usage updater.
The cached flow counter stats can be queried by calling "mlx5_fc_query_cached" which provides the number of bytes and packets that passed via this flow since the last time this counter was queried. It does so by reducting the last saved stats from the current, cached stats and then updating the last saved stats with the cached stats. It also provide the lastuse value for that flow.
Since "mlx5e_tc_update_neigh_used_value" needs to retrieve the last usage time of encapsulation flows, it calls the flow counter query method periodically and async to user queries of the flow counter using cls_flower. This call is causing the driver to update the last reported bytes and packets from the cache and therefore, future user queries of the flow stats will return lower than expected number for bytes and packets since the last saved stats in the driver was updated async to the last saved stats in cls_flower.
This causes wrong stats presentation of encapsulation flows to user.
Since the neighbor usage updater only needs the lastuse stats from the cached counter, the fix is to use a dedicated lastuse query call that returns the lastuse value without synching between the cached stats and the last saved stats.
