[PATCH net-next V2 0/8] net/mlx5: ConnectX-8 SW Steering + Rate management on traffic classes

[Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com>]

Hi,

This patchset consists of two features:
1. In patches 1-2, Itamar adds SW Steering support for ConnectX-8.
2. Followed by patches by Carolina that add rate management support on
traffic classes in devlink and mlx5, more details below [1].

Series generated against:
commit ef04d290c013 ("net: page_pool: do not count normal frag allocation in stats")

Regards,
Tariq

V2:
- Included <linux/dcbnl.h> in devlink.h to resolve missing
  IEEE_8021QAZ_MAX_TCS definition.
- Refactored the rate-tc-bw attribute structure to use a separate
  rate-tc-index.
- Updated patch 2/6 title.


[1]
This patch series extends the devlink-rate API to support traffic class
(TC) bandwidth management, enabling more granular control over traffic
shaping and rate limiting across multiple TCs. The API now allows users
to specify bandwidth proportions for different traffic classes in a
single command. This is particularly useful for managing Enhanced
Transmission Selection (ETS) for groups of Virtual Functions (VFs),
allowing precise bandwidth allocation across traffic classes.

Additionally the series refines the QoS handling in net/mlx5 to support
TC arbitration and bandwidth management on vports and rate nodes.

Extend devlink-rate API to support rate management on TCs:
- devlink: Extend the devlink rate API to support traffic class
  bandwidth management

Introduce a no-op implementation:
- net/mlx5: Add no-op implementation for setting tc-bw on rate objects

Introduce new fields to support new scheduling elements:
- net/mlx5: Add support for new scheduling elements

Add support for enabling and disabling TC QoS on vports and nodes:
- net/mlx5: Add support for setting tc-bw on nodes
- net/mlx5: Add traffic class scheduling support for vport QoS

Support for setting tc-bw on rate objects:
- net/mlx5: Manage TC arbiter nodes and implement full support for
  tc-bw
