Subject: [PATCH 0/1] net: ethtool: add SmartNIC reset support
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2017 09:01:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1508342496-5047-1-git-send-email-scott.branden@broadcom.com> (raw)
Ethtool provides support for resetting other internal portions of the
NIC already. Seems appropriate to use one of the bits for resetting
the application processor (AP) for SmartNICs.
If we are not able to use ethtool to reset such portions of the NIC we
will need to create some other API that allows us to do so. Please
suggest alternatives.
See patch for proposed bit define using ethtool.
Please comment on the best way to add reset support for Next-gen
NIC devices that contain an application processor (AP).
