net: dcb: add CEE notify calls

2012-04-25T23:47:17Z

This adds code to trigger CEE events when an APP change or setall command is made from user space. This simplifies user space code significantly by creating a single interface to listen on that works with both firmware and userland agents. And if we end up with multiple agents this keeps every thing in sync userland agents, firmware agents, and kernel notifier consumers. For an example agent that listens for these events see: https://github.com/jrfastab/cgdcbxd cgdcbxd is a daemon used to monitor DCB netlink events and manage the net_prio control group sub-system.

net/dcb: Add an optional max rate attribute

2012-04-05T09:08:04Z

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 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dcbnl: Stop using NLA_PUT*().

2012-04-02T08:33:41Z

These macros contain a hidden goto, and are thus extremely error prone and make code hard to audit. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30Z

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence of module.h from everywhere. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

net: Fix files explicitly needing to include module.h

2011-10-31T23:30:28Z

With calls to modular infrastructure, these files really needs the full module.h header. Call it out so some of the cleanups of implicit and unrequired includes elsewhere can be cleaned up. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

dcb: add DCBX mode to event notifier attributes

2011-10-06T19:49:51Z

Add DCBX mode to event notifiers so listeners can learn currently enabled mode. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dcb: Use ifindex instead of ifname

2011-10-06T19:49:51Z

Use ifindex instead of ifname in the DCB app ring. This makes for a smaller data structure and faster comparisons. It also avoids possible issues when a net device is renamed. Signed-off-by: Mark Rustad Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dcbnl: unlock on an error path in dcbnl_cee_fill()

2011-07-08T16:01:14Z

We need to release "dcb_lock" which we took on the previous line. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dcbnl: Add CEE notification

2011-07-06T06:42:17Z

This patch add an unsolicited notification of the DCBX negotiated parameters for the CEE flavor of the DCBX protocol. The notification message is identical to the aggregated CEE get operation and holds all the pertinent local and peer information. The notification routine is exported so it can be invoked by drivers supporting an embedded DCBX stack. Signed-off-by: Shmulik Ravid Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dcbnl: Aggregated CEE GET operation

2011-07-06T06:42:17Z

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 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
