net/mlx5: Ethernet Datapath files
en_[rt]x.c contains the data path related code specific to tx or rx.
en_txrx.c contains data path code which is common for both the rx and
tx, this is mainly napi related code.
Below are the objects that are being used by the hardware and the driver
in the data path:
Channel - one channel per IRQ. Every channel object contains:
RQ - describes the rx queue
TIR - One TIR (Transport Interface Receive) object per flow type. TIR
contains attributes for a type of rx flow (e.g IPv4, IPv6 etc).
A flow is defined in the Flow Table.
Currently TIR describes the RSS hash parameters if exists and LRO
attributes.
SQ - describes the a tx queue. There is one SQ (Send Queue) per
TC (traffic class).
TIS - There is one TIS (Transport Interface Send) per TC. It
describes the TC and may later be extended to describe more
transport properties.
Both RQ and SQ inherit from the object WQ (work queue). This common code
to describe the layout of CQE's WQE's in memory is in the files wq.[cj]
For every channel there is one NAPI context that is used for RX and
for TX.
Driver is using netdev_alloc_skb() to allocate skb's.
