Bug ID: 221530
Summary: if_ixl: add a way to disable/enable lldp handling by
the NIC
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People

disable hw lldp sysctl patch
In XL710 cards LLDP is by default handled directly by the NIC.
It means that LLDP PDU are filtered by the NIC and are not visible by the
kernel.
The filtering can be turned off by calling i40e_aq_stop_lldp().
You can see this feature in the linux driver (which contains more options)
http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v3.12/source/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_debugfs.c#L1618
I'm proposing here a patch to disable LLDP filtering by using a sysctl.
Note that, we should also (not done in the patch) call i40e_aq_start_lldp()
somewhere in the iface init to be sure that the sysctl value is consistent with
the card behavior.
