  • DCBx applications priorities can be changed dynamically. If
    application stacks are expected to keep the skb priority
    consistent with the dcbx priority the stack will need to
    be notified when these changes occur.

    This patch adds application notifiers for the stack to register
    with.

  • 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).
