First, we upgrade the firmware interface spec. Due to a change in the toolchains, the auto-generated bnxt_hsi.h does not match the old bnxt_hsi.h and the patch is really big. This should be just one-time. Going forward, changes should be incremental.
The next 10 patches implement a new scheme for the PF and VF drivers to allocate and reserve resources. The new scheme is more flexible and allows dynamic and asymmetric distribution of resources, whereas the old scheme is static and even distribution. The last few patches add cacheline size setting, a couple of PCI IDs, better management of VF MAC address, and a better parent switchdev ID for dual-port devices. Michael Chan (11): bnxt_en: Update firmware interface to 1.9.0. bnxt_en: Refactor bnxt_close_nic(). bnxt_en: Restore MSIX after disabling SRIOV. bnxt_en: Refactor hardware resource data structures. bnxt_en: Add the new firmware API to query hardware resources. bnxt_en: Set initial default RX and TX ring numbers the same in combined mode. bnxt_en: Implement new method to reserve rings. bnxt_en: Reserve resources for RFS. bnxt_en: Implement new method for the PF to assign SRIOV resources. bnxt_en: Expand bnxt_check_rings() to check all resources. bnxt_en: Add cache line size setting to optimize performance. Sathya Perla (1): bnxt_en: export a common switchdev PARENT_ID for all reps of an adapter Vasundhara Volam (2): bnxt_en: Add BCM5745X NPAR device IDs bnxt_en: Forward VF MAC address to the PF. drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c | 697 +- drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.h | 53 +- drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_hsi.h | 11936 +++++++++++----------- drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_sriov.c | 221 +- drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_tc.c | 2 +- drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_vfr.c | 30 + drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_vfr.h | 6 + 7 files changed, 6640 insertions(+), 6305 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1
