Support the latest DCB IEEE 802.1Qaz specifications in ixgbe. The kernel DCB netlink support was added in RHEL6.1 this is a feature request to implement support in the ixgbe driver. Minimal required patch set below although syncing the DCBnl code completely with upstream should be doable without breaking ABI. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git [1] author John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend> commit 55320cb58baebd1795ec92f4550a1e8b38bf9ddf ixgbe: DCB, abstract out dcb_config from DCB hardware configuration [2] author John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend> commit d033d526a465c4bb8a499a0b5df65b3e7cf4da6f ixgbe: DCB, implement 802.1Qaz routines [3] author John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend> commit d43f5c21d6bab7f58cb6723a57a66883cee0a905 ixgbe: DCB, do not reset on CEE pg changes [4] author John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend> commit d37e1d0eba2e508b8ac499497db216c67df65c3c ixgbe: DCB, remove RESET bit it is no longer needed [5] author John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend> commit 3032309b49622497430ecd2b40ff51fb204c35e8 ixgbe: DCB, implement capabilities flags [6] author John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend> commit f8628d404505e61bfc63638744656ede69227766 ixgbe: DCB, implement ieee_setapp dcbnl ops [7] author John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend> commit dc166e22ede5ffb46b5b18b99ba0321ae545f89b ixgbe: DCB remove ixgbe_fcoe_getapp routine [8] author John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend> commit 3b97fd695453ced96f22bdf1a84453f6744d25cc ixgbe: DCB, missed translation from 8021Qaz TSA to CEE link strict [9] author John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend> commit 17049d30c2dec6f26d6165cc135578f9e41d53d3 ixgbe: IEEE 802.1Qaz, implement priority assignment table
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
What is the status of this BZ? I haven't seen any movement since filing...
Robert, I'm checking now to see how many of these made it into RHEL6.2 between Dean's patches and mine.

Since we have all of the requested commits added in bug 689998, I am closing this as a dup of that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 689998 ***
