Subject: [PATCH V2 05/12] net: Add ndo_set_vif_param operation to serve eIPoIB VIFs
Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2012 20:09:28 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1343840975-3252-6-git-send-email-ogerlitz@mellanox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1343840975-3252-1-git-send-email-ogerlitz@mellanox.com>
From: Erez Shitrit <erezsh@mellanox.co.il>
The Ethernet IPoIB driver enslaves IPoIB devices and uses them as
VIFs (Virtual Interface) which serve an Ethernet NIC e.g present in a
guest OS. For each such slave that acts as a VIF, eIPoIB needs to know
the mac and optionally the vlan uses by that NIC, the new ndo opertaion
is used to associate the mac/vlan for that slave.
