New 7.0 FW: bnx2x, cnic, bnx2i, bnx2fc

2011-06-15T14:56:37+00:00

New FW/HSI (7.0): - Added support to 578xx chips - Improved HSI - much less driver's direct access to the FW internal memory needed. New implementation of the HSI handling layer in the bnx2x (bnx2x_sp.c): - Introduced chip dependent objects that have chip independent interfaces for configuration of MACs, multicast addresses, Rx mode, indirection table, fast path queues and function initialization/cleanup. - Objects functionality is based on the private function pointers, which allows not only a per-chip but also PF/VF differentiation while still preserving the same interface towards the driver. - Objects interface is not influenced by the HSI changes which do not require providing new parameters keeping the code outside the bnx2x_sp.c invariant with regard to such HSI chnages. Changes in a CNIC, bnx2fc and bnx2i modules due to the new HSI.

bnx2x, cnic: Disable iSCSI if DCBX negotiation is successful

2011-04-01T00:04:22+00:00

With current bnx2x firmware 6.2.9, iSCSI is not supported in DCB network, so we need to disable it. Add cnic command to disconnect iSCSI connections and prevent future connections when DCBX negotiation succeeds. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kravkov Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S.

bnx2x, cnic: Consolidate iSCSI/FCoE shared mem logic in bnx2x

2011-02-01T04:44:46+00:00

Move all shared mem code to bnx2x to avoid code duplication. bnx2x now performs: - Read the FCoE and iSCSI max connection information. - Read the iSCSI and FCoE MACs from NPAR configuration in shmem. - Block the CNIC for the current function if there is neither FCoE nor iSCSI valid configuration by returning NULL from bnx2x_cnic_probe().

cnic: Do not call bnx2i when bnx2i is calling cnic_unregister_driver()

2011-01-04T03:08:07+00:00

We should call bnx2i to send the iSCSI netlink message earlier in cnic_unregister_device(). By the time cnic_unregister_driver() is called, bnx2i may have freed data structures used by the upcalls. Update version to 2.2.12. Reviewed-by: Benjamin Li Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

cnic: Improve ->iscsi_nl_msg_send()

2010-12-23T19:44:29+00:00

1. Change first parameter from cnic_dev to ulp_handle which is the hba pointer. All other similar upcalls are using hba pointer. The callee can then directly reference the hba without conversion. 2. Change return value from void to int so that an error code can be passed back. This allows the operation to be retried. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
