net-next:v4: Add support to configure SR-IOV VF minimum and maximum Tx rate through ip tool.
o min_tx_rate puts lower limit on the VF bandwidth. VF is guaranteed
to have a bandwidth of at least this value.
max_tx_rate puts cap on the VF bandwidth. VF can have a bandwidth
of up to this value.
o A new handler set_vf_rate for attr IFLA_VF_RATE has been introduced
which takes 4 arguments:
netdev, VF number, min_tx_rate, max_tx_rate
o ndo_set_vf_rate replaces ndo_set_vf_tx_rate handler.
o Drivers that currently implement ndo_set_vf_tx_rate should now call
ndo_set_vf_rate instead and reject attempt to set a minimum bandwidth
greater than 0 for IFLA_VF_TX_RATE when IFLA_VF_RATE is not yet
implemented by driver.
o If user enters only one of either min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, then,
userland should read back the other value from driver and set both
for IFLA_VF_RATE.
Drivers that have not yet implemented IFLA_VF_RATE should always
return min_tx_rate as 0 when read from ip tool.
o If both IFLA_VF_TX_RATE and IFLA_VF_RATE options are specified, then
IFLA_VF_RATE should override.
o Idea is to have consistent display of rate values to user.
o Usage example: -
./ip link set p4p1 vf 0 rate 900
./ip link show p4p1
