2012-04-05net/dcb: Add an optional max rate attributeAmir Vadai
Although not specified in 8021Qaz spec, it could be useful to enable drivers whose HW supports setting a rate limit for an ETS TC. This patch adds this optional attribute to DCB netlink. To use it, drivers should implement and register the callbacks ieee_setmaxrate and ieee_getmaxrate. The units are 64 bits long and specified in Kbps to enable usage over both slow and very fast networks. Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai <amirv@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-07-05dcbnl: Aggregated CEE GET operationShmulik Ravid
The following couple of patches add dcbnl an unsolicited notification of the the DCB configuration for the CEE flavor of the DCBX protocol. This is useful when the user-mode DCB client is not responsible for conducting and resolving the DCBX negotiation (either because the DCBX stack is embedded in the HW or the negotiation is handled by another agent in the host), but still needs to get the negotiated parameters. This functionality already exists for the IEEE flavor of the DCBX protocol and these patches add it to the older CEE flavor. The first patch extends the CEE attribute GET operation to include not only the peer information, but also all the pertinent local configuration (negotiated parameters). The second patch adds and export a CEE specific notification routine. Signed-off-by: Shmulik Ravid <shmulikr@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-06-21dcb: Add ieee_dcb_delapp() and dcb op to delete app entryJohn Fastabend
Now that we allow multiple IEEE App entries we need a way to remove specific entries. To do this add the ieee_dcb_delapp() routine. Additionaly drivers may need to remove the APP entry from their firmware tables. Add dcb ops routine to handle this. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.

2010-12-31dcbnl: adding DCBX feature flags get-setShmulik Ravid
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.

2010-12-31dcbnl: add support for ieee8021Qaz attributesJohn Fastabend
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] ...

2009-09-01dcbnl: Add support for setapp/getapp commands to dcbnlYi Zou
This patch adds dcbnl command definitions to support setapp/getapp functionality from the IEEE 802.1Qaz Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange protocol (DCBX) specification. Section 3.3 defines the application protocol and its 802.1p user priority in DCBX, which is implemented here as a pair of setapp/getapp commands in the kernel dcbnl for setting and retrieving the user priority for an given application protocol. The protocol is identified by the combination of an id and an idtype. Currently, when idtype is 0, the corresponding id gives the ether type of this protocol, e.g., for FCoE, it will be 0x8906; when idtype is 1, then the corresponding id gives the TCP or UDP port number. For more information regarding DCBX spec., please refer to the following: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2008/ az-wadekar-dcbx-capability-exchange-discovery-protocol-1108-v1.01.pdf Signed-off-by: Yi Zou <yi.zou@intel.com> Acked-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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).
