> The overall driver design includes a common module ('qed') and protocol
> specific dependent modules for ethernet ('qede'), fcoe ('qedf'),
> iscsi ('qedi') and roce ('qedr').
> The common module contains all of the common logic, e.g. initialization,
> cleanup, infrastructure for interrupt handling, link management, slowpath
> etc. as well as protocol agnostic features, and supplying an abstraction
> layer for other modules.
> The protocol specific modules can be compiled and operated independently
> of each other, with the exception of the rdma modules which are dependent
> on the ethernet module, in accordance with the kernel rdma stack design.

> This series only adds the core and ethernet modules, with basic L2
> capabilities. Future series will add the rest of the modules and enhance
> the L2 functionality.
> 
> Ths patch series is constructed of the following patches:
> qed:  Add module with basic common support
> qed:  Add basic L2 interface
> qede: Add basic Network driver
> qed:  Add slowpath L2 support
> qede: Add basic network device support
> qede: Add classification configuration
> qed:  Add link support
> qede: Add support for link
> qed:  Add statistics support
> qede: Add basic ethtool support
> 
> We don't expect the series to be accepted as is. We are looking for
> upstream community feedback and guidance. Although the series is quite
> large, it is what we viewed as the minimal set of patches to constitute

Hi,
Just a friendly reminder that this request for comment is still out there, and well, no comments have been forthcoming.
Thanks,
Ariel
