2012-12-14	libfcoe, fcoe, bnx2fc: Add new fcoe control interface	Robert Love	1	-1/+10
	This patch does a few things. 1) Makes /sys/bus/fcoe/ctlr_{create,destroy} interfaces. These interfaces take an <ifname> and will either create an FCoE Controller or destroy an FCoE Controller depending on which file is written to. The new FCoE Controller will start in a DISABLED state and will not do discovery or login until it is ENABLED. This pause will allow us to configure the FCoE Controller before enabling it. 2) Makes the 'mode' attribute of a fcoe_ctlr_device writale. This allows the user to configure the mode in which the FCoE Controller will start in when it is ENABLED. Possible modes are 'Fabric', or 'VN2VN'. The default mode for a fcoe_ctlr{,_device} is 'Fabric'. Drivers must implement the set_fcoe_ctlr_mode routine to support this feature. libfcoe offers an exported routine to set a FCoE Controller's mode. The mode can only be changed when the FCoE Controller is DISABLED. This patch also removes the get_fcoe_ctlr_mode pointer in the fcoe_sysfs function template, the code in fcoe_ctlr.c to get the mode and the assignment of the fcoe_sysfs function pointer to the fcoe_ctlr.c implementation (in fcoe and bnx2fc). fcoe_sysfs can return that value for the mode without consulting the LLD. 3) Make a 'enabled' attribute of a fcoe_ctlr_device. On a read, fcoe_sysfs will return the attribute's value. On a write, fcoe_sysfs will call the LLD (if there is a callback) to notifiy that the enalbed state has changed. This patch maintains the old FCoE control interfaces as module parameters, but it adds comments pointing out that the old interfaces are deprecated.

2012-05-23	[SCSI] libfcoe: Add fcoe_sysfs	Robert Love	1	-0/+124
	This patch adds a 'fcoe bus' infrastructure to the kernel that is driven by changes to libfcoe which allow LLDs to present FIP (FCoE Initialization Protocol) discovered entities and their attributes to user space via sysfs. This patch adds the following APIs- fcoe_ctlr_device_add fcoe_ctlr_device_delete fcoe_fcf_device_add fcoe_fcf_device_delete They allow the LLD to expose the FCoE ENode Controller and any discovered FCFs (Fibre Channel Forwarders, e.g. FCoE switches) to the user. Each of these new devices has their own bus_type so that they are grouped together for easy lookup from a user space application. Each new class has an attribute_group to expose attributes for any created instances. The attributes are- fcoe_ctlr_device * fcf_dev_loss_tmo * lesb_link_fail * lesb_vlink_fail * lesb_miss_fka * lesb_symb_err * lesb_err_block * lesb_fcs_error fcoe_fcf_device * fabric_name * switch_name * priority * selected * fc_map * vfid * mac * fka_peroid * fabric_state * dev_loss_tmo A device loss infrastructre similar to the FC Transport's is also added by this patch. It is nice to have so that a link flapping adapter doesn't continually advance the count used to identify the discovered FCF. FCFs will exist in a "Disconnected" state until either the timer expires or the FCF is rediscovered and becomes "Connected." This patch generates a few checkpatch.pl WARNINGS that I'm not sure what to do about. They're macros modeled around the FC Transport attribute building macros, which have the same 'feature' where the caller can ommit a cast in the argument list and no cast occurs in the code. I'm not sure how to keep the code condensed while keeping the macros. Any advice would be appreciated.
