====================
mlx5e-updates-2018-10-10
IPoIB netlink support and mlx5e pre-allocated netdevice initialization
IP link was broken due to the changes in IPoIB for the rdma_netdev
support after commit
cd565b4b51e5
("IB/IPoIB: Support acceleration options callbacks").
This patchset fixes IPoIB pkey creation and removal using rtnetlink by
adding support in both IPoIB ULP layer and mlx5 layer:
From Jason and Denis:
1) Introduces changes in the RDMA netdev code in order to
allow allocation of the netdev to be done by the rtnl netdev code.
2) Reworks IPoIB initialization to use the two step rdma_netdev
creation.
From Feras and Saeed, mlx5e netdev layer refactoring to allow accepting
pre-allocated netdevs:
3) Adds support to initialize/cleanup netdevs that are not created
by mlx5 driver.
4) Change mlx5e netdevice layer to accept the pre-allocated netdevice
queue number.
5) Initialize mlx5e generic structures in one place to be used for all
netdevs types NIC/representors/IPoIB (both mlx5 allocated and
pre-allocted).
