Subject: [PATCH net-next V6 0/8] net/mlx4_en: DCB QoS support

DCBX version 802.1qaz is supported.
User Priority (UP) is set in QP context instead of in WQE (QP Work Queue
Element), which means that all traffic from a queue will have the same UP.
UP is also set for untagged traffic to be able to classify such traffic too.

Mapping from sk_prio to User Priority is done by sch_mqprio mapping. Although
confusingly sch_mqprio maps sk_prio to something called TC, it is not related
to DCBX's TC, and is interpreted by mlx4_en driver as UP.

User can set maximal BW for an ETS TC. This could be done by a new optional
attribute added to DCB_ATTR_IEEE called DCBNL DCB_ATTR_IEEE_MAXRATE. It accept
an array of 8 64 bits values, 1 for every ETS TC. Units are in Kbps.

Changes from V5:
- Patch 7/8 Add an optional max rate attribute to DCBNL
  - Do not use NLA_PUT macro

Changes from V4:
- Patch 2/8 - set port QoS attributes
  - HW commands are using HW ratelimit units (100Mbps)
- Patch 3/8 - DCB QoS support
  - ets attributes are stored inline mlx4_en_priv and not alloced separately
  - Changed variable name: priv->mlx4_en_ieee_ets into priv->ets
- Patch 8/8 - Set max rate-limit for a TC in mlx4 driver using the
  - ratelimit is stored inline mlx4_en_priv and not allocated separately
  - ratelimit values are converted from Kbps into HW units (100Mbps) in the
    netlink callback instead of in the HW access function.
  - ratelimit values are rounded up. 0 is used for unlimited.  
  - moving ratelimit to be inline mlx4_en_priv also addresses Eric D. comments

Changes from V3:
After having a discussion about the API to set/get rate limit of an ETS TC,
decided to extend DCBNL with an optional attribute for that:
- new patch 7/8 Add an optional max rate attribute to DCBNL
- new patch 8/8 Set max rate-limit for a TC in mlx4 driver using the
  infrastructure from patch 7/8

Changes from V2:
- Removed patch 4 who deal with setting ratelimit through sysfs - Still under discussion
- Patch 2/7 - set port QoS attributes
  - ratelimit is given in Kbps instead of Mbps units.

Changes from V1:
- Patch 1/7 - Force user priority by QP attribute
  - removed unneeded comment
- Patch 2/7 - set port QoS attributes
  - ratelimit is given in Mbps instead of 100Mbps units.
- Patch 3/7 - DCB QoS support
  - Split mlx4_en_config_port_scheduler from mlx4_en_dcbnl_ieee_setets - enable
    setting ratelimit only, without setting up to tc mapping
- Patch 4/7 - Set max rate-limit for a TC
  - Rewritten patch according to comment from Eric D.
  - setting ratelimit is through sysfs files:
    /sys/class/net/<intf>/ratelimit/tc0
    /sys/class/net/<intf>/ratelimit/tc1
    ...
    /sys/class/net/<intf>/ratelimit/tc7
- Patch 5/7 - sk_prio <=> UP for untagged traffic  
  - Using skb_tx_hash for queue selection of untagged traffic
- Added Patch 6/7 - export symbol ip_tos2prio
  - Fixed patch according to comment from Eric D.
- Patch 7/7 - TOS <=> UP mapping for IBoE
  - No need to clone code from route.c anymore - removed it
    
Changes from V0:
- Removed patches 6 and 7 who deal with the interaction between the kernel HW
  QoS constructs to the queue selection logic are still under discussion with
  John and some changes might be needed there.
