Hi Dave,
This series provides the following mlx5 updates:
From Huy:
DCBX CEE API and DCBX firmware/host modes support.
- 1st patch ensures the dcbnl_rtnl_ops is published only when the qos
capability bits is on.
- 2nd patch adds the support for CEE interfaces into mlx5 dcbnl_rtnl_ops
- 3rd patch refactors ETS query to read ETS configuration directly from
firmware rather than having a software shadow to it. The existing IEEE
interfaces stays the same.
- 4th patch adds the support for MLX5_REG_DCBX_PARAM and MLX5_REG_DCBX_APP
firmware commands to manipulate mlx5 DCBX mode.
- 5th patch adds the driver support for the new DCBX firmware. This ensures
the backward compatibility versus the old and new firmware. With the new DCBX
firmware, qos settings can be controlled by either firmware or software
depending on the DCBX mode.
From Kamal and Saeed:
- mlx5 self-test support.
From Shaker:
- Private flag to give the user the ability to enable/disable mlx5 CQE
compression.Hi Dave, Please hold on with this series, we need a respin to fix some static checkers warnings. Thanks Saeed.
