[PATCH net 2/9] bnxt_en: reject ETS settings that will starve a TC

From: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com>
Date: 2021-07-18 19:36:53
Subsystem: broadcom bnxt_en 50 gigabit ethernet driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Michael Chan, Pavan Chebbi, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Edwin Peer <redacted>

ETS proportions are presented to HWRM_QUEUE_COS2BW_CFG as minimum
bandwidth constraints. Thus, zero is a legal value for a given TC.
However, if all the other TCs sum up to 100%, then at least one
hardware queue will starve, resulting in guaranteed TX timeouts.
Reject such nonsensical configurations.
