    enetc: Introduce basic PF and VF ENETC ethernet drivers · d4fd0404
    Claudiu Manoil authored
    ENETC is a multi-port virtualized Ethernet controller supporting GbE
    designs and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) functionality.
    ENETC is operating as an SR-IOV multi-PF capable Root Complex Integrated
    Endpoint (RCIE).  As such, it contains multiple physical (PF) and
    virtual (VF) PCIe functions, discoverable by standard PCI Express.
    
    Introduce basic PF and VF ENETC ethernet drivers.  The PF has access to
    the ENETC Port registers and resources and makes the required privileged
    configurations for the underlying VF devices.  Common functionality is
    controlled through so called System Interface (SI) register blocks, PFs
    and VFs own a SI each.  Though SI register blocks are almost identical,
    there are a few privileged SI level controls that are accessible only to
    PFs, and so the distinction is made between PF SIs (PSI) and VF SIs (VSI).
    As such, the bulk of the code, including datapath processing, basic h/w
    offload support and generic pci related configuration, is shared between
    the 2 drivers and is factored out in common source files (i.e. enetc.c).
    
    Major functionalities included (for both drivers):
    MSI-X support for Rx and Tx processing, assignment of Rx/Tx BD ring pairs
    to MSI-X entries, multi-queue support, Rx S/G (Rx frame fragmentation) and
    jumbo frame (up to 9600B) support, Rx paged allocation and reuse, Tx S/G
    support (NETIF_F_SG), Rx and Tx checksum offload, PF MAC filtering and
    initial control ring support, VLAN extraction/ insertion, PF Rx VLAN
    CTAG filtering, VF mac address config support, VF VLAN isolation support,
    etc.
