net/mlx5: Move TISes from priv to mdev HW resources
The transport interface send (TIS) object is responsible for performing all transport related operations of the transmit side. Messages from Send Queues get segmented and transmitted by the TIS including all transport required implications, e.g. in the case of large send offload, the TIS is responsible for the segmentation. These are stateless objects and can be used by multiple netdevs (e.g. representors) who share the same core device. Providing the TISes as a service from the core layer to the netdev layer reduces the number of replecated TIS objects (in case of multiple netdevs), and will ease the transition to netdev with multiple mdevs. Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Gal Pressman <gal@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>
