    Adds support of dcbnl setapp/getapp to dcbnl_rtnl_ops in netdev to allow
    LLDs to implement their corresponding dcbnl setapp/getapp ops to support
    the IEEE 802.1Q DCBX setapp/getapp commands.

  • 1486a61eb   net: fix DCB setstate to return success/failure ... Browse Code »

    Data Center Bridging (DCB) had no way to know if setstate had failed in the
    driver. This patch enables dcb netlink code to handle the status for the DCB
    setstate interface. Likewise it allows the driver to return a failed status
    if MSI-X isn't enabled.

  • 859ee3c43   DCB: Add support for DCB BCN ... Browse Code »

    Adds an interface to configure the Backward Congestion Notification
    (BCN) feature. In a BCN capabale network, congestion notifications
    from congested points out in the network can cause the end station
    limit the rate of a given traffic flow.

  • 0eb3aa9ba   DCB: Add interface to query the state of PFC feature. ... Browse Code »

    Adds a netlink interface for Data Center Bridging (DCB) to get and set
    the enable state of the Priority Flow Control (PFC) feature.
    Primarily, this is a way to turn off PFC in the driver while DCB
    remains enabled.

    Adds interface for Data Center Bridging (DCB) to query (and set if
    supported) the number of traffic classes currently supported by the
    device for the two (DCB) features: priority groups (PG) and priority
    flow control (PFC).

  • 2f90b8657   ixgbe: this patch adds support for DCB to the kernel and ixgbe driver ... Browse Code »

    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).
