      e1000: call ndo_stop() instead of dev_close() when running offline selftest · 1f2f83f8
      Stefan Assmann authored 
      Calling dev_close() causes IFF_UP to be cleared which will remove the
interfaces routes and some addresses. That's probably not what the user
intended when running the offline selftest. Besides this does not happen
if the interface is brought down before the test, so the current
behaviour is inconsistent.
Instead call the net_device_ops ndo_stop function directly and avoid
touching IFF_UP at all.

====================
mlxsw: Introduce support for Data Center Bridging

Ido says:

This patchset introduces support for Quality of Service (QoS) as part of the
IEEE Data Center Bridiging (DCB) standards.

Patches 1-9 do the required device initialization. Specifically, patches 1-6
initialize the ports' headroom buffers, which are used at ingress to store
incoming packets while they go through the switch's pipeline. Patches 7-9
complete them by initializing the egress scheduling.

The pipeline mentioned above determines the packet's egress port(s) and
traffic class. Ideally, once out of the pipeline the packet moves to the
switch's shared buffer (to be introduced in Jiri's patchset, currently
default values are used) and scheduled for transmission according to its
traffic class. The egress scheduling is configured according to the 802.1Qaz
standard, which is part of the DCB infrastructure supported by Linux. This
is introduced in patches 10-12.

Even after going through the pipeline packets are not always eligible to
enter the shared buffer. This is determined by the amount of available space
and the quotas associated with the packet. However, if flow control is
enabled and the packet is associated with the lossless flow, then it will
stay in the headroom and won't be discarded. This is introduced in patches
13-17.

Please check individual commit messages for more info, as I tried to keep
them pretty detailed.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Add IEEE 802.1Qbb PFC support · d81a6bdb
      Ido Schimmel authored 
      Implement the appropriate DCB ops and allow a user to configure certain
traffic classes as lossless.

The operation configures PFC for both the egress (respecting PFC frames)
and ingress (sending PFC frames) parts of the port.

At egress, when a PFC frame is received for a PFC enabled priority, then
all the priorities mapped to the same TC are stopped.

At ingress, the priority group (PG) buffers to which the enabled PFC
priorities are mapped are configured to be lossless. PFC frames will be
transmitted when the Xoff threshold is crossed.

The user-supplied delay parameter is used to determine the PG's size
according to the following formula:

PG_SIZE = PG_SIZE_LOSSY + delay * CELL_FACTOR + MTU

In the worst case scenario the delay will be made up of packets that
are all of size CELL_SIZE + 1, which means each packet will require
almost twice its true size when buffered in the switch. We therefore
multiply this value by the "cell factor", which is close to 2.

Another MTU is added in case the transmitting host already started
transmitting a maximum length frame when the PFC packet was received.

As with PAUSE enabled ports, when the port's MTU is changed both the
PGs' size and threshold are adjusted accordingly.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Add support for PAUSE frames · 9f7ec052
      Ido Schimmel authored 
      When a packet ingress the switch it's placed in its assigned priority
group (PG) buffer in the port's headroom buffer while it goes through
the switch's pipeline. After going through the pipeline - which
determines its egress port(s) and traffic class - it's moved to the
switch's shared buffer awaiting transmission.

However, some packets are not eligible to enter the shared buffer due to
exceeded quotas or insufficient space. Marking their associated PGs as
lossless will cause the packets to accumulate in the PG buffer. Another
reason for packets accumulation are complicated pipelines (e.g.
involving a lot of ACLs).

To prevent packets from being dropped a user can enable PAUSE frames on
the port. This will mark all the active PGs as lossless and set their
size according to the maximum delay, as it's not configured by user.

                         +----------------+   +

The delay (612 [Cells]) was calculated according to worst-case scenario
involving maximum MTU and 100m cables.

After marking the PGs as lossless the device is configured to respect
incoming PAUSE frames (Rx PAUSE) and generate PAUSE frames (Tx PAUSE)
according to user's settings.

Whenever the port's headroom configuration changes we take into account
the PAUSE configuration, so that we correctly set the PG's type (lossy /
lossless), size and threshold. This can happen when:

a) The port's MTU changes, as it directly affects the PG's size.

b) A PG is created following user configuration, by binding a priority
to it.

Note that the relevant SUPPORTED flags were already mistakenly set by
the driver before this commit.

      Implement the appropriate DCB ops and allow a user to configure:
	* Priority to traffic class (TC) mapping with a total of 8
	  supported TCs
	* Transmission selection algorithm (TSA) for each TC and the
	  corresponding weights in case of weighted round robin (WRR)

As previously explained, we treat the priority group (PG) buffer in the
port's headroom as the ingress counterpart of the egress TC. Therefore,
when a certain priority to TC mapping is configured, we also configure
the port's headroom buffer.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Initialize egress scheduling · 90183b98
      Ido Schimmel authored 
      Before introducing support for DCB ops we should first make sure we
initialize the relevant parts in the device correctly. Specifically, the
egress scheduling.

The device supports a superset of the 802.1Qaz standard with 4 hierarchy
levels that can be linked to each other in multiple ways and with
different transmission selection algorithms (TSA) employed between them.

However, since we only intend to support the 802.1Qaz standard we
flatten the hierarchies and let the user configure via DCB ops the TSA
and max rate shaper at the subgroup hierarchy (see figure below) and the
mapping between switch priority to traffic class. By default, all switch
priorities are mapped to traffic class 0, strict priority is employed
and max shaper is disabled.

Default configuration:

         switch priority 0      ...         switch priority 7
