Dear Joao;

thanks for support and this project is good. I have some questions, Linux
already support to QoS with "tc". right?

Can you send us a list of driver files you are interested?

For now we are interesting in improving the synopsys QoS driver under
/nect/ethernet/synopsys. For now the driver structure consists of a single file
called dwc_eth_qos.c, containing synopsys ethernet qos common ops and platform
related stuff.

Our strategy would be:

a) Implement a platform glue driver (dwc_eth_qos_pltfm.c)
b) Implement a pci glue driver (dwc_eth_qos_pci.c)
c) Implement a "core driver" (dwc_eth_qos.c) that would only have Ethernet QoS
related stuff to be reused by the platform / pci drivers
d) Add a set of features to the "core driver" that we have available internally

Thanks,
Joao

Regards,

Ozgur Karatas

Dear all,

My name is Joao Pinto and I work at Synopsys.
I am a kernel developer with special focus in mainline collaboration, both
Linux
and Buildroot. I was recently named one of the maintainers of the PCIe
Designware core driver and I was the author of the Designware UFS driver
stack.

I am sending you this e-mail because you were the suggested contacts from
the
get_maintainers script concerning Ethernet drivers :).

Currently I have the task to work on the mainline Ethernet QoS driver in
which
you are the author. The work would consist of the following:

a) Separate the current driver in a Core driver (common ops) + platform
glue
driver + pci glue driver
b) Add features that are currently only available internally
c) Add specific phy support using the PHY framework

I would also gladly be available to be its maintainer if you agree with it.

It would be great to have your collaboration in the project if you are
available
to review the work in progress.

Thank you and I am looking forward for your feedback!

Joao Pinto
