* net: fix dcbnl_setnumtcs operation checkDon Skidmore2008-12-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | dcbml_setnumtcs wasn't checking for the presence of the setnumtcs function. Instead, it was checking for setstate which was a bug.

* DCB: fix kconfig optionJeff Kirsher2008-11-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Since the netlink option for DCB is necessary to actually be useful, simplified the Kconfig option. In addition, added useful help text for the Kconfig option. Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* DCB: Add support for DCB BCNAlexander Duyck2008-11-201-7/+167
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* DCB: Add interface to query the state of PFC feature.Alexander Duyck2008-11-201-0/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* DCB: Add interface to query # of TCs supported by deviceAlexander Duyck2008-11-201-0/+132
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* ixgbe: this patch adds support for DCB to the kernel and ixgbe driverAlexander Duyck2008-11-201-0/+704
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).
