Subject: [PATCH 6/6] sfc: Add driverlink API to support virtual NIC drivers

From: Ben Hutchings <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2008 20:36:20 +0000

The driverlink API allows other drivers to coordinate their access to
the network controller with the sfc driver.  These other drivers may
create virtual NICs mapped into user processes or VM guests.

+/**
+ * DOC: Efx driverlink API
+ *
+ * This file must be included by any driver that wishes to attach to
+ * devices claimed by the Solarflare NIC driver (sfc). It allows separate
+ * kernel modules to expose other functionality offered by the NIC, with
+ * the sfc driver remaining in overall control.
+ *
+ * Overview:
+ *
+ * Driverlink clients define a &struct efx_dl_driver, and register
+ * this structure with the driverlink layer using
+ * efx_dl_register_driver(), which is exported by the sfc driver.
+ *
+ * The probe() routine of each driverlink client driver is called by
+ * the driverlink layer for each physical port in the system, after
+ * the sfc driver has performed start-of-day hardware initialisation
+ * and self-test. If ports are added or removed via pci hotplug then
+ * the &struct efx_dl_driver probe() or remove() routines are called
+ * as appropriate.
+ *
+ * If the port doesn't provide the necessary hardware resources for a
+ * client, then that client can return failure from its probe()
+ * routine. Information provided to the client driver at probe time
+ * includes
+ *
+ * Each probe() routine is given a unique &struct efx_dl_device per
+ * port, which means it can safely use the @priv member to store any
+ * useful state it needs. The probe routine also has the opportunity
+ * to provide a &struct efx_dl_callbacks via
+ * efx_dl_register_callbacks(), which allows the client to intercept
+ * the sfc driver's operations at strategic points.
+ *
+ * Occasionally, the underlying Efx device may need to be reset to
+ * recover from an error condition.  The client's reset_suspend() and
