MAC Merge support for frame preemption was previously added for igc:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20250318030742.2567080-1-faizal.abdul.rahim@linux.intel.com/
This series builds on that work and adds support for:
- Harmonizing taprio and mqprio queue priority behavior, based on past
discussions and suggestions:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250214102206.25dqgut5tbak2rkz@skbuf/
- Enabling preemptible queue support for both taprio and mqprio, with
priority harmonization as a prerequisite.
It is based on the iwl tree as the baseline for development.
Patch organization:
- Patches 1–3: Preparation work for patches 6 and 7
- Patches 4–5: Introduce queue priority harmonization
- Patches 6–8: Add preemptible queue support
The series depends on the following patches, which are currently in the
iwl tree and pending integration into netdev/net-next:
- igc: Change Tx mode for MQPRIO offloading
- igc: Limit netdev_tc calls to MQPRIO
Chwee-Lin Choong (1):
igc: SW pad preemptible frames for correct mCRC calculation
Faizal Rahim (7):
igc: move IGC_TXDCTL_QUEUE_ENABLE and IGC_TXDCTL_SWFLUSH
igc: add TXDCTL prefix to related macros
igc: refactor TXDCTL macros to use FIELD_PREP and GEN_MASK
igc: assign highest TX queue number as highest priority in mqprio
igc: add private flag to reverse TX queue priority in TSN mode
igc: add preemptible queue support in taprio
igc: add preemptible queue support in mqprio
