Hi, I am working on to support offload for Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) for the Open-FCoE project maintained at http://www.open-fcoe.org. I would like to propose adding FCoE offload support through the net_device struct as shown in the series of patches followed here. The general idea is to add "struct net_fcoe_ops *fcoe_ops" to net_device, so any network adapter driver that wants to provides FCoE offload can use fcoe_ops through net_device. The following patches touch both netdev and libfc/fcoe, where the first two patches touch netdev, and the rest patches show how the proposed net_fcoe_ops struct is used in fcoe/libfc through net_deivce to support FCoE offload. Thanks. yi --- Yi Zou (7): fcoe: fcoe fc crc offload indication by skb->ip_summed fcoe: remove ETH_P_FCOE from fc_fcoe.h fcoe: add support to net_fcoe_ops in fcoe_sw libfc: add support of large receive offload by ddp in fc_fcp fcoe: check offload features from LLD through netdev net: add FCoE offload support through net_device net: add ETH_P_FCOE for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe_sw.c | 64 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/scsi/fcoe/libfcoe.c | 2 + drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_exch.c | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++---------- drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_fcp.c | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++-- include/linux/if_ether.h | 1 + include/linux/netdevice.h | 8 +++++ include/linux/netfcoe.h | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/scsi/fc/fc_fcoe.h | 7 ----- include/scsi/libfc.h | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 220 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/linux/netfcoe.h -- Signature: Yi Zou <yi.zou@xxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
