Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/4] mlx5: Create build configuration options
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 15:32:37 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170126233241.2268449-1-tom@herbertland.com> (raw)

This patchset creates configuration options for sriov, vxlan, eswitch,
and tc features in the mlx5 driver. The purpose of this is to allow not
building these features. These features are optional advanced features
that are not required for a core Ethernet driver. A user can disable
these features which resuces the amount of code in the driver. Disabling
these features (and DCB) reduces the size of mlx5_core.o by about 16%.
This is also can reduce the complexity of backport and rebases since
user would no longer need to worry about dependencies with the rest of
the kernel that features which might not be of any interest to a user
may bring in.

Tested: Build and ran the driver with all features enabled (the default)
and with none enabled (including DCB). Did not see any issues. I did
not explicity test operation of ayy of features in the list.

  mlx5: Make building eswitch configurable
  mlx5: Make building SR-IOV configurable
  mlx5: Make building tc hardware offload configurable
  mlx5: Make building vxlan hardware offload configurable
