[net-next PATCH 05/12] net: Add ndo_fcoe_control to net_device_ops

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Yi Zou <yi.zou@xxxxxxxxx>

Add ndo_fcoe_control to net_device_ops so the corresponding HW can initialize
itself for FCoE traffic or clean up after FCoE traffic is done. This is
expected to be called by the kernel FCoE stack upon receiving a request for
creating an FCoE instance on the corresponding netdev interface. When
implemented by the actual HW, the HW driver check the op code to perform
corresponding initialization or clean up for FCoE. The initialization normally
includes allocating extra queues for FCoE, setting corresponding HW registers
for FCoE, indicating FCoE offload features via netdev, etc. The clean-up would
include releasing the resources allocated for FCoE.

Currently, there are two defined op codes as NETDEV_FCOE_DISABLE and _ENABLE,
for initialization and cleanup accordingly.
