This series adds VF representors to the driver. It enables single-queue representors and implements enough flow features to run OVS-DPDK offload for default vlan+mac based switching.
The flow API handlers and devcmd functions (firmware commands) are now aware of representors. Representors reserve PF Tx/Rx queues for their implicit paths to/from VFs. Packet forwarding rules for these implicit paths are set up using firmware's Flow Manager (flowman), which is also used for rte_flow API. Thanks. -Hyong Hyong Youb Kim (5): net/enic: extend vnic dev API for VF representors net/enic: add minimal VF representor net/enic: add single-queue Tx and Rx to VF representor net/enic: extend flow handler to support VF representors net/enic: enable flow API for VF representor doc/guides/rel_notes/release_20_11.rst | 4 + drivers/net/enic/base/vnic_dev.c | 112 +++- drivers/net/enic/base/vnic_dev.h | 4 + drivers/net/enic/enic.h | 116 ++++ drivers/net/enic/enic_ethdev.c | 107 +++- drivers/net/enic/enic_fm_flow.c | 487 +++++++++++++++-- drivers/net/enic/enic_main.c | 114 +++- drivers/net/enic/enic_vf_representor.c | 729 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/net/enic/meson.build | 1 + 9 files changed, 1602 insertions(+), 72 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/net/enic/enic_vf_representor.c -- 2.26.2
