Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-09-23
This patch series adds support for the FM10000 Ethernet switch host
interface. The Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch is a 48-port Ethernet switch
supporting both Ethernet ports and PCI Express host interfaces. The fm10k
driver provides support for the host interface portion of the switch, both
PF and VF.
As the host interfaces are directly connected to the switch this results in
some significant differences versus a standard network driver. For example
there is no PHY or MII on the device. Since packets are delivered directly
from the switch to the host interface these are unnecessary. Otherwise most
of the functionality is very similar to our other network drivers such as
ixgbe or igb. For example we support all the standard network offloads,
jumbo frames, SR-IOV (64 VFS), PTP, and some VXLAN and NVGRE offloads.
v2: converted dev_consume_skb_any() to dev_kfree_skb_any()
fix up PTP code based on feedback from the community
v3: converted the use of smb_mb__before_clear_bit() to smb_mb__before_atomic()
added vmalloc header to patch 15
added prefetch header to patch 16
