Subject: [PATCH net-next V2 00/21] net/mlx4: SRIOV support

Hello David,

This is V2 of a patch set that adds SRIOV support for ConnectX2 and ConnectX3 HW for Ethernet Link layer.
Infiniband and RoCE SRIOV support will be added at later stage

In ConnectX, nearly all device resources can be associated with any function.
Once allocated, these resources can be manipulated exclusively by their
associated functions in the same manner as in the single-function case.
The same driver acts both as pf and vf driver.
mlx4_en module (Ethernet specific code) remains virtualization unaware and all the multifunction logic is
implemented in mlx4_core module.
To keep that separation, some code (mainly port management) moved from mlx4_en to mlx4_core module.

The device continues to use a single HCA Command Register (HCR), which is owned by the pf.
Thus, the pf is given the role of allocating resources to vfs, and controlling shared resource (such as ports).

A dedicated HW communication channel is used to transfer resource allocation and
modification requests from vfs to the pf, and events from the pf to the vfs.
Consequently, no hypervisor-specific services are required for pf-vf communication.
All vfs resources are tracked by the pf and cleaned up in case the vf doesn't close gracefully.
The resource tracker also prevents untrusted vfs to manipulate resources that belong to other functions.

---
Change from V1:
 - Fixed warnings found by -Wswitch-enum compilation flag.
Change from V0:
- Use enum {MLX4_CMD_NATIVE, MLX4_CMD_WRAPPED} instead of 1/0 when calling mlx4_cmd
- Added pf context behavior to mlx4_func_cap and query func cap
- Removed ifdef CONFIG_PCI_IOV, all modules parameters do not depend on this define anymore
- sr_iov module parameter changed to num_vfs
- made probe_vf parameter writable, allows binding of VF back to hypervisor

mlx4_en: updated driver version to 2.0

mlx4_core: mtts resources units changed to offset
mlx4_en: Allow communication between functions on same host
mlx4: Ethernet port management modifications
mlx4: Traffic steering management support for SRIOV
mlx4_ib: disable SRIOV mode for IB ports (not yet supported).
mlx4_core:  resource tracking for HCA resources used by guests.
mlx4_core: Add wrapper functions and comm channel and slave event support to EQs
mlx4_core: mtt modifications for SRIOV

mlx4_core: Reduce number of PD bits to 17.
mlx4_core:  Add "native" argument to mlx4_cmd and its callers (where needed)
mlx4: Extanding port_mask functionality
mlx4_core:  initial header-file changes for SRIOV support.
