> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [next-queue PATCH v9 6/6] igb: Add support for
> CBS offload
> 
> From: Andre Guedes <andre.gue...@intel.com>
> 
> This patch adds support for Credit-Based Shaper (CBS) qdisc offload
> from Traffic Control system. This support enable us to leverage the
> Forwarding and Queuing for Time-Sensitive Streams (FQTSS) features
> from Intel i210 Ethernet Controller. FQTSS is the former 802.1Qav
> standard which was merged into 802.1Q in 2014. It enables traffic
> prioritization and bandwidth reservation via the Credit-Based Shaper
> which is implemented in hardware by i210 controller.
> 
> The patch introduces the igb_setup_tc() function which implements the
> support for CBS qdisc hardware offload in the IGB driver. CBS offload
> is the only traffic control offload supported by the driver at the
> moment.
> 
> FQTSS transmission mode from i210 controller is automatically enabled
> by the IGB driver when the CBS is enabled for the first hardware
> queue. Likewise, FQTSS mode is automatically disabled when CBS is
> disabled for the last hardware queue. Changing FQTSS mode requires NIC
> reset.
> 
> FQTSS feature is supported by i210 controller only.
