Merge branch 'macvlan_hwaccel'
John Fastabend says: ==================== l2 hardware accelerated macvlans This patch adds support to offload macvlan net_devices to the hardware. With these patches packets are pushed to the macvlan net_device directly and do not pass through the lower dev. The patches here have made it through multiple iterations each with a slightly different focus. First I tried to push these as a new link type called "VMDQ". The patches shown here, http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/237617 Following this implementation I renamed the link type "VSI" and addressed various comments. Finally Neil Horman picked up the patches and integrated the offload into the macvlan code. Here, http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/285658 The attached series is clean-up of his patches, with a few fixes. If folks find this series acceptable there are a few items we can work on next. First broadcast and multicast will use the hardware even for local traffic with this series. It would be best (I think) to use the software path for macvlan to macvlan traffic and save the PCIe bus. This depends on how much you value CPU time vs PCIE bandwidth. This will need another patch series to flush out. Also this series only allows for layer 2 mac forwarding where some hardware supports more interesting forwarding capabilities. Integrating with OVS may be useful here. As always any comments/feedback welcome. My basic I/O test is here but I've also done some link testing, SRIOV/DCB with macvlans and others, Changelog: v2: two fixes to ixgbe when all features DCB, FCoE, SR-IOV are enabled with macvlans. A VMDQ_P() reference should have been accel->pool and do not set the offset of the ring index from dfwd add call. The offset is used by SR-IOV so clearing it can cause SR-IOV quue index's to go sideways. With these fixes testing macvlan's with SRIOV enabled was successful. v3: addressed Neil's comments in ixgbe fixed error path on dfwd_add_station() in ixgbe fixed ixgbe to allow SRIOV and accelerated macvlans to coexist. v4: Dave caught some strange indentation, fixed it here ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
