    net-next:v4: Add support to configure SR-IOV VF minimum and maximum Tx rate through ip tool. · ed616689
    Sucheta Chakraborty 提交于
    o min_tx_rate puts lower limit on the VF bandwidth. VF is guaranteed
      to have a bandwidth of at least this value.
      max_tx_rate puts cap on the VF bandwidth. VF can have a bandwidth
      of up to this value.
    
    o A new handler set_vf_rate for attr IFLA_VF_RATE has been introduced
      which takes 4 arguments:
      netdev, VF number, min_tx_rate, max_tx_rate
    
    o ndo_set_vf_rate replaces ndo_set_vf_tx_rate handler.
    
    o Drivers that currently implement ndo_set_vf_tx_rate should now call
      ndo_set_vf_rate instead and reject attempt to set a minimum bandwidth
      greater than 0 for IFLA_VF_TX_RATE when IFLA_VF_RATE is not yet
      implemented by driver.
    
    o If user enters only one of either min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, then,
      userland should read back the other value from driver and set both
      for IFLA_VF_RATE.
      Drivers that have not yet implemented IFLA_VF_RATE should always
      return min_tx_rate as 0 when read from ip tool.
    
    o If both IFLA_VF_TX_RATE and IFLA_VF_RATE options are specified, then
      IFLA_VF_RATE should override.
    
    o Idea is to have consistent display of rate values to user.
    
    o Usage example: -
    
      ./ip link set p4p1 vf 0 rate 900
    
      ./ip link show p4p1
