* dcbnl: add support for retrieving peer configuration - ceeShmulik Ravid2011-03-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | This patch adds the support for retrieving the remote or peer DCBX configuration via dcbnl for embedded DCBX stacks supporting the CEE DCBX standard. Signed-off-by: Shmulik Ravid <shmulikr@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* dcbnl: add support for retrieving peer configuration - ieeeShmulik Ravid2011-03-021-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | These 2 patches add the support for retrieving the remote or peer DCBX configuration via dcbnl for embedded DCBX stacks. The peer configuration is part of the DCBX MIB and is useful for debugging and diagnostics of the overall DCB configuration. The first patch add this support for IEEE 802.1Qaz standard the second patch add the same support for the older CEE standard. Diff for v2 - the peer-app-info is CEE specific.

* dcbnl: adding DCBX feature flags get-setShmulik Ravid2010-12-311-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding a pair of set-get routines to dcbnl for setting the negotiation flags of the various DCB features. Conforms to the CEE flavor of DCBX The user sets these flags (enable, advertise, willing) for each feature to be used by the DCBX engine. The 'get' routine returns which of the features is enabled after the negotiation. This patch is dependent on the following patches: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 1/3] dcbnl: add support for ieee8021Qaz attributes [net-next-2.6 PATCH 2/3] dcbnl: add appliction tlv handlers [net-next-2.6 PATCH 3/3] net_dcb: add application notifiers Signed-off-by: Shmulik Ravid <shmulikr@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* dcbnl: adding DCBX engine capabilityShmulik Ravid2010-12-311-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding an optional DCBX capability and a pair for get-set routines for setting the device DCBX mode. The DCBX capability is a bit field of supported attributes. The user is expected to set the DCBX mode with a subset of the advertised attributes.

* dcbnl: add appliction tlv handlersJohn Fastabend2010-12-311-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds application tlv handlers. Networking stacks may use the application priority to set the skb priority of their stack using the negoatiated dcbx priority. This patch provides the dcb_{get|set}app() routines for the stack to query these parameters. Notice lower layer drivers can use the dcbnl_ops routines if additional handling is needed. Perhaps in the firmware case for example Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Shmulik Ravid <shmulikr@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* dcbnl: add support for ieee8021Qaz attributesJohn Fastabend2010-12-311-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The IEEE8021Qaz is the IEEE standard version of CEE. The standard has had enough significant changes from the CEE version that many of the CEE attributes have no meaning in the new spec or do not easily map to IEEE standards. Rather then attempt to create a complicated mapping between CEE and IEEE standards this patch adds a nested IEEE attribute to the list of DCB attributes. The policy is, [DCB_ATTR_IFNAME] [DCB_ATTR_STATE] ... [DCB_ATTR_IEEE] [DCB_ATTR_IEEE_ETS] [DCB_ATTR_IEEE_PFC] [DCB_ATTR_IEEE_APP_TABLE] [DCB_ATTR_IEEE_APP] ... The following dcbnl_rtnl_ops routines were added to handle the IEEE standard, int (*ieee_getets) (struct net_device *, struct ieee_ets *); int (*ieee_setets) (struct net_device *, struct ieee_ets *); int (*ieee_getpfc) (struct net_device *, struct ieee_pfc *); int (*ieee_setpfc) (struct net_device *, struct ieee_pfc *); int (*ieee_getapp) (struct net_device *, struct dcb_app *); int (*ieee_setapp) (struct net_device *, struct dcb_app *); Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* dcbnl: Add support for setapp/getapp to netdev dcbnl_rtnl_opsYi Zou2009-09-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Adds support of dcbnl setapp/getapp to dcbnl_rtnl_ops in netdev to allow LLDs to implement their corresponding dcbnl setapp/getapp ops to support the IEEE 802.1Q DCBX setapp/getapp commands.

* net: fix DCB setstate to return success/failureDon Skidmore2008-12-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Data Center Bridging (DCB) had no way to know if setstate had failed in the driver. This patch enables dcb netlink code to handle the status for the DCB setstate interface. Likewise it allows the driver to return a failed status if MSI-X isn't enabled.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Adds a netlink interface for Data Center Bridging (DCB) to get and set the enable state of the Priority Flow Control (PFC) feature.

* ixgbe: this patch adds support for DCB to the kernel and ixgbe driverAlexander Duyck2008-11-201-0/+44
This adds support for Data Center Bridging (DCB) features in the ixgbe driver and adds an rtnetlink interface for configuring DCB to the kernel. The DCB feature support included are Priority Grouping (PG) - which allows bandwidth guarantees to be allocated to groups to traffic based on the 802.1q priority, and Priority Based Flow Control (PFC) - which introduces a new MAC control PAUSE frame which works at granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the link (IEEE 802.3x).
