[PATCH net-next V2 0/3] Add max rate TXQ attribute

[Or Gerlitz]

Add the ability to set a max-rate limitation for TX queues.
The attribute name is maxrate and the units are Mbs, to make
it similar to the existing max-rate limitation knobs (ETS and 
SRIOV ndo calls).

Or.

[PATCH net-next V2 1/3] net: Add max rate tx queue attribute

[Or Gerlitz]

From: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com>

This adds a tx_maxrate attribute to the tx queue sysfs entry allowing
for max-rate limiting. Along with DCB-ETS and BQL this provides another
knob to tune queue performance. The limit units are Mbps.

By default it is disabled. To disable the rate limitation after it
has been set for a queue, it should be set to zero.

[PATCH net-next V2 2/3] net/mlx4_core: Add basic support for QP max-rate limiting

[Or Gerlitz]

Add the low-level device commands and definitions used for QP max-rate limiting.

This is done through the following elements:

  - read rate-limit device caps in QUERY_DEV_CAP: number of different
    rates and the min/max rates in Kbs/Mbs/Gbs units

  - enhance the QP context struct to contain rate limit units and value

  - allow to do run time rate-limit setting to QPs through the
    update-qp firmware command

  - QP rate-limiting is disallowed for VFs

[PATCH net-next V2 3/3] net/mlx4_en: Add tx queue maxrate support

[Or Gerlitz]

Add ndo_set_tx_maxrate support.

To support per tx queue maxrate limit, we use the update-qp firmware
command to do run-time rate setting for the qp that serves this tx ring.

Guaranteed rate is often defined in conjunction with maximum rate. It
might be nice to add a parameter for that to the ndo function in
anticipation of someone supporting that also.

I see -- so do we really want both from day one...? if this is the
case, I can add that to the ndo with the value of 0 means no limit for
maxrate and no guarantee for minrate

We can do this later.

Every comment line you add should start with a "*" just like the rest
of the comment does.

You'll also need to re-spin this against net-next as the swdev_ops changes
that went in recently conflict.

Thanks.
