H A Dixgbe_dcb_nl.c43497cc2 Fri Nov 11 19:12:22 CST 2011 John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> ixgbe: DCB: IEEE transitions may fail to reprogram hardware.

Transitioning through an IEEE DCBX version from a CEE DCBX
and back (CEE->IEEE->CEE) may leave IEEE attributes programmed
in the hardware. DCB uses a bit field in the set routines to
determine which attributes PG, PFC, APP need to be reprogrammed.
This is needed because user flow allows queueing a series
of changes and then reprogramming the hardware with the
entire set in one operation.

When transitioning from IEEE DCBX mode back into CEE DCBX
mode the PG and PFC bits need to be set so the possibly

different CEE attributes get programmed into the device.

This patch fixes broken logic that was evaluating to 0
and never setting any bits. Further this removes some
checks for num_tc in set routines. This logic only worked
when the number of traffic classes and user priorities
were equal. This is no longer the case for X540 devices.
Besides we can trust user input in this case if the
device is incorrectly configured the DCB bandwidths will
be incorrectly mapped but no OOPs, BUG, or hardware
failure will occur.
