net: intel: Use *-y instead of *-objs in Makefile*-objs suffix is reserved rather for (user-space) host programs whileusually *-y suffix is used for kernel drivers (although *-objs worksfor that purpose for now).Let's correct the old usages of *-objs in Makefiles.Reviewed-by: Aleksandr Loktionov Reviewed-by: Alexander Lobakin Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko Reviewed-by: Jacob Keller Tested-by: Pucha Himasekhar Reddy Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240607-next-2024-06-03-intel-next-batch-v3-1-d1470cee3347@intel.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/libeth/Makefile

306ec721 - net: intel: introduce {, Intel} Ethernet common library

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 11:36:07 +0000

net: intel: introduce {, Intel} Ethernet common libraryNot a secret there's a ton of code duplication between two and more Intelethernet modules.Before introducing new changes, which would need to be copied over again,start decoupling the already existing duplicate functionality into a newmodule, which will be shared between several Intel Ethernet drivers.Add the lookup table which converts 8/10-bit hardware packet type intoa parsed bitfield structure for easy checking packet format parameters,such as payload level, IP version, etc. This is currently used by i40e,ice and iavf and it's all the same in all three drivers.The only difference introduced in this implementation is that instead ofdefining a 256 (or 1024 in case of ice) element array, add unlikely()condition to limit the input to 154 (current maximum non-reserved packettype). There's no reason to waste 600 (or even 3600) bytes only to nothurt very unlikely exception packets.The hash computation function now takes payload level directly as apkt_hash_type. There's a couple cases when non-IP ptypes are marked asL3 payload and in the previous versions their hash level would be 2, not3. But skb_set_hash() only sees difference between L4 and non-L4, thusthis won't change anything at all.The module is behind the hidden Kconfig symbol, which the drivers willselect when needed. The exports are behind 'LIBIE' namespace to limitthe scope of the functions.Not that non-HW-specific symbols will live in yet another module,libeth. This is done to easily distinguish pretty generic code readyfor reusing by any other vendor and/or for moving the layer up fromthe code useful in Intel's 1-100G drivers only.Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/libeth/Makefile
