This patch adds dcbnl command definitions to support setapp/getapp
functionality from the IEEE 802.1Qaz Data Center Bridging Capability
Exchange protocol (DCBX) specification. Section 3.3 defines the
application protocol and its 802.1p user priority in DCBX, which is
implemented here as a pair of setapp/getapp commands in the kernel
dcbnl for setting and retrieving the user priority for an given
application protocol. The protocol is identified by the combination of
an id and an idtype. Currently, when idtype is 0, the corresponding
id gives the ether type of this protocol, e.g., for FCoE, it will be
0x8906; when idtype is 1, then the corresponding id gives the TCP or
UDP port number.For more information regarding DCBX spec., please refer to the following:

Adds the Backward Congestion Notification Address (BCNA) attribute to the
Backward Congestion Notification (BCN) interface for Data Center Bridging
(DCB), which was missing. Receive the BCNA attribute in the ixgbe driver.
The BCNA attribute is for a switch to inform the endstation about the physical
port identification in order to support BCN on aggregated links.Signed-off-by: Don Skidmore

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.Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck

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.Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck

Adds interface for Data Center Bridging (DCB) to query (and set if

flow control (PFC).Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck

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).Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck
