    bnx2x: Add Nic partitioning mode (57712 devices) · 0793f83f
    Dmitry Kravkov authored
    NIC partitioning is another flavor of multi function - having few
    PCI functions share the same physical port. Unlike the currently
    supported mode of multi-function which depends on the switch
    configuration and uses outer-VLAN, the NPAR mode is switch independent
    and uses the MAC addresses to distribute incoming packets to the different
    functions. This patch adds the specific HW setting of the NPAR mode
    and some distinctions between switch dependent (SD) and
    switch independent (SI) multi-function (MF) modes where the configuration
    is not the same.
