From: Yi Zou <yi.zou@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:06:32 -0800 > This is set of revised patches for adding offload support of > Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) offload support through net_device > for the Open-FCoE project maintained at http://www.open-fcoe.org. > > The original submission can be found at: > http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=123507707821705&w=2 > > The included patches would add FCoE offload support through the net_device > struct as shown in the series of patches followed here. This is achieved > by adding nedev feature flags for FCoE FC CRC offload and large send offload > through gso. The large receive offload by direct data placement (ddp) is > achieved by the two function pointers to net_device_ops, to setup and release > ddp context, ndo_fcoe_ddp_setup and ndo_fcoe_ddp_done. One data member is > added to net_device strut, namely fcoe_ddp_xid, which inidates the maximum > exchange id allowed by LLD to perform ddp on the read I/O request. > > As the following patches touch both netdev and libfc/fcoe, and they are > applicable to the current tip at www.open-fcoe.org w/ patches available at: > http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=123576089125544&w=2 If they look alright, > I will rework them later to be directly applicable to net-next, where the > aforementioned fcoe/libfc fix patches are expected to be in kernel already > through scsi-fixes. I am fine with these changes, they look good. -- 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
