Merge branch 'gve-add-flow-steering-support'
Ziwei Xiao says: ==================== gve: Add flow steering support To support flow steering in GVE driver, there are two adminq changes need to be made in advance. The first one is adding adminq mutex lock, which is to allow the incoming flow steering operations to be able to temporarily drop the rtnl_lock to reduce the latency for registering flow rules among several NICs at the same time. This could be achieved by the future changes to reduce the drivers' dependencies on the rtnl lock for particular ethtool ops. The second one is to add the extended adminq command so that we can support larger adminq command such as configure_flow_rule command. In that patch, there is a new added function called gve_adminq_execute_extended_cmd with the attribute of __maybe_unused. That attribute will be removed in the third patch of this series where it will use the previously unused function. And the other three patches are needed for the actual flow steering feature support in driver. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240625001232.1476315-1-ziweixiao@google.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
