Subject: [PATCH] NET: DCB generic netlink interface
Date: Tue, 27 May 2008 07:13:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080527141339.12851.98781.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

This patchset adds the initial DCB generic netlink interface to the kernel.
It adds the layer as a generic interface for any DCB-capable device through
the netdevice.

This patchset also includes an implementation using this interface in the
ixgbe driver.  It adds the hardware-specific code to turn the interface on,
and includes the netlink callbacks in the driver to perform the requested
operations.

These patches are targeted at the net-next-2.6 tree, for 2.6.27.  The patch
series is as follows:

patch 1: DCB netlink interface in-kernel
patch 2: ixgbe DCB hardware-specific patches
patch 3: enable DCB in ixgbe

Thanks,
