[redhat] New configs in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox

Justin M. Forbes requested to merge configs/2020-06-04/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox into os-build

Hi,

As part of the ongoing rebase effort, the following configuration options need to be reviewed.

As a reminder, the ARK configuration flow involves moving unreviewed configuration options from the pending directory to the ark directory. In the diff below, options are removed from the pending directory and added to the ark hierarchy. The final options that need to be ACKed are the files that are being added to the ark hierarchy.

If the value for a file that is added should be changed, please reply with a better option.

CONFIG_MLX5_CLS_ACT:

mlx5 ConnectX offloads support for TC classifier action (NET_CLS_ACT), works in both native NIC mode and Switchdev SRIOV mode. Actions get attached to a Hardware offloaded classifiers and are invoked after a successful classification. Actions are used to overwrite the classification result, instantly drop or redirect and/or reformat packets in wire speeds without involving the host cpu.

If set to N, TC offloads in both NIC and switchdev modes will be disabled. If unsure, set to Y

Symbol: MLX5_CLS_ACT [=y] Type : bool Defined at drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/Kconfig:81 Prompt: MLX5 TC classifier action support Depends on: NETDEVICES [=y] && ETHERNET [=y] && NET_VENDOR_MELLANOX [=y] && MLX5_ESWITCH [=y] && NET_CLS_ACT [=y] Location: -> Device Drivers -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) -> Ethernet driver support (ETHERNET [=y]) -> Mellanox devices (NET_VENDOR_MELLANOX [=y]) -> Mellanox 5th generation network adapters (ConnectX series) Ethernet support (MLX5_CORE_EN [=y]) -> Mellanox Technologies MLX5 SRIOV E-Switch support (MLX5_ESWITCH [=y])
