net: ena: Move XDP code to its new files

2024-04-17T09:19:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit d000574d02870710c62751148cbfe22993222b98 ]

XDP system has a very large footprint in the driver's overall code.
makes the whole driver's code much harder to read.

Moving XDP code to dedicated files.

This patch doesn't make any changes to the code itself and only
cut-pastes the code into ena_xdp.c and ena_xdp.h files so the change
is purely cosmetic.

docs: fix info about representor identification

2023-10-14T00:30:00+00:00

subchapter. For newer kernels driver should use
SET_NETDEV_DEVLINK_PORT instead of ndo_get_devlink_port()
callback.

Documentation: netdev: fix dead link in ax25.rst

2023-09-18T11:56:58+00:00

http://linux-ax25.org has been down for nearly a year. Its official
replacement is https://linux-ax25.in-berlin.de.

Update the documentation to point there instead. And acknowledge that
while the linux-hams list isn't entirely dead, it isn't what most would
call 'active'. Remove that word.

net/mlx5: Implement devlink port function cmds to control ipsec_packet

2023-08-28T00:08:45+00:00

Implement devlink port function commands to enable / disable IPsec
packet offloads. This is used to control the IPsec capability of the
device.

When ipsec_offload is enabled for a VF, it prevents adding IPsec packet
offloads on the PF, because the two cannot be active simultaneously due
to HW constraints. Conversely, if there are any active IPsec packet
offloads on the PF, it's not allowed to enable ipsec_packet on a VF,
until PF IPsec offloads are cleared.

devlink: Expose port function commands to control IPsec packet offloads

2023-08-28T00:08:45+00:00

Expose port function commands to enable / disable IPsec packet offloads,
this is used to control the port IPsec capabilities.

When IPsec packet is disabled for a function of the port (default),
function cannot offload IPsec packet operations (encapsulation and XFRM
policy offload). When enabled, IPsec packet operations can be offloaded
by the function of the port, which includes crypto operation
(Encrypt/Decrypt), IPsec encapsulation and XFRM state and policy
offload.

Example of a PCI VF port which supports IPsec packet offloads:

$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1
    pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf0 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 0
        function:
        hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 roce enable ipsec_packet disable

$ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/1 ipsec_packet enable

$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1
    pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf0 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 0
        function:
        hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 roce enable ipsec_packet enable
