<title>ixgbe: DCB, PFC not cleared until reset occurs</title>

<content type='text'>
The PFC configuration is not cleared until the device is reset. This
has not been a problem because setting DCB attributes forced a
hardware reset. Now that we no longer require this reset to occur
PFC remains configured even after being disabled until the
device is reset.

This removes a goto in the PFC hardware set routines for 82598 and
82599 devices that was short circuiting the clear.

<title>ixgbe: add support for VF Transmit rate limit using iproute2</title>

<id>ff4ab2061199cdb938282d302d5044b1858e28c8</id>
<content type='text'>
Implemented ixgbe_ndo_set_vf_bw function which is being used by iproute2
tool. In addition, updated ixgbe_ndo_get_vf_config function to show the
actual rate limit to the user.

The rate limitation can be configured only when the link is up and the
link speed is 10Gb.
The rate limit value can be 0 or ranged between 11 and actual link
speed measured in Mbps. A value of '0' disables the rate limit for
this specific VF.

iproute2 usage will be 'ip link set ethX vf Y rate Z'.
After the command is made, the rate will be changed instantly.
To view the current rate limit, use 'ip link show ethX'.

The rates will be zeroed only upon driver reload or a link speed change.

This feature is being supported by 82599 and X540 devices.

DCB provides a guaranteed bandwidth in the case with 0%
bandwidth then no bandwidth is guaranteed. However the
traffic class should still be able to transmit traffic.
For this to work the traffic class must be given the
minimum credits required to send a frame.

The VF mailbox polling for acks and messages would reset the timer to zero
on a timeout. Under heavy load a timeout may actually occur without being
the result of an error and when this occurs it is not practical to perform
a full VF driver reset on every message timeout. Instead, just return an
error (which is already done) and the VF driver will have an opportunity
to retry the operation.

DCB settings are cleared in the hardware across link events
during ifup ixgbe reprograms the hardware for DCB if it is
enabled. Now that we have two modes CEE or IEEE we need to
use the correct set of configuration data.

This patch checks the dcbx_cap bits and then enables the
device in the correct mode.

<title>ixgbe: IEEE 802.1Qaz, implement priority assignment table</title>

<id>17049d30c2dec6f26d6165cc135578f9e41d53d3</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support to use the priority assignment
table in the ieee_ets structure to map priorities to
traffic classes. Previously ixgbe only supported a
1:1 mapping. Now we can enable and disable hardware
DCB support when multiple traffic classes are actually
being used. This allows the default case all priorities
mapped to traffic class 0 to work in normal hardware
mode and utilize the full packet buffer.

This patch does not address putting the hardware in
4TC mode so packet buffer space may be underutilized
in this case. A follow up patch can address this
optimization. But at least we have the hooks to do
this now.

Also CEE will behave as it always has and map priorities
1:1 with traffic classes.

However the case when CEE link strict and group strict
are set was missed and are currently being mapped
incorrectly in some configurations.

RSS had previously been disabled when DCB was enabled because
DCB was single queued per traffic class. Now that DCB implements
multiple Tx/Rx rings per traffic class enable RSS.

Here RSS hashes across the queues in the traffic class.
