The new method will call firmware to reserve the desired tx, rx, cmpl rings, ring groups, stats context, and vnic resources. A second query call will check the actual resources that firmware is able to reserve. The driver will then trim and adjust based on the actual resources provided by firmware. The driver will then reserve the final resources in use. This method is a more flexible way of using hardware resources. The resources are not fixed and can by adjusted by firmware. The driver adapts to the available resources that the firmware can reserve for the driver. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
