This change adds support for the ethtool set_channels operation.

Since the ixgbe driver has to support DCB as well as the other modes the
assumption I made here is that the number of channels in DCB modes refers
to the number of queues per traffic class, not the number of queues total.

In DCB mode are there separate IRQs for the different classes?

Please do return an error if the command specifies a change to
other_count.

Yes.  The Rx packet buffer is split into multiple packet buffers, one
for each online class.  After that, it's just queues assigned to the
packet buffers, and interrupts assigned however you want them to be.

I will update the patch to return an error if other_count is not equal
to NON_Q_VECTORS.

Right, I think we've been through this before.  And I can see how it
would be more useful for users to specify number of RX queues per
priority level.  But that's not what was specified...

I'm afraid the 'channels' ethtool operations have turned into a mess...
I can't see how to get to a reasonable generic definition of what they
should do.

Ben.

Actually it looks like most of the drivers (I looked at bnx, bnx2x, tg3,
and qlcnic) are using the set_queues call in a similar way.  What they
end up doing is using the value and plugging it into their TSS/RSS
fields in their private structures.  From what I can tell in
bnx2x_setup_tc they may do exactly the same thing we are currently doing
for DCB since they use the BNX2X_NUM_ETH_QUEUES value that they set in
their set_channels call to set the number of queues they use per traffic
class.  I would say the usage is actually pretty consistent between
bnx2x and ixgbe based on this, even if it isn't exactly correct.

For now I would say all of the drivers are using the set_channels
operation to specify the number of Tx/Rx queues, or queue pairs per
traffic class.  So for non-DCB NICs this means it is setting exactly
that number of queues, and for DCB capable nics it means num_tcs times
the specified number of queues.

Thanks,

Alex

Would it perhaps be cleaner to let set_channels set the absolute
number of tx/rx queue pairs regardless of number of tcs. Then
you could use the mqprio interface to divide those queues into
classes.

struct tc_mqprio_qopt {
         __u8    num_tc;
         __u8    prio_tc_map[TC_QOPT_BITMASK + 1];
         __u8    hw;
         __u16   count[TC_QOPT_MAX_QUEUE];
         __u16   offset[TC_QOPT_MAX_QUEUE];
};

The ndo_setup_tc op could pass the tc_mqprio_qopt structure to the
driver instead of just the number of tcs. This would allow changing
the number of queues per class depending on the traffic type expected
and set_channels then is consistent regardless of number of TCs.

Thanks,
John
