Since the netlink option for DCB is necessary to actually be useful, simplified the Kconfig option. In addition, added useful help text for the Kconfig option. Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>

This option turns on the netlink interface | ||
(dcbnl) for Data Center Bridging capable devices. | ||
This enables support for configuring Data Center Bridging (DCB) | ||
features on DCB capable Ethernet adapters via rtnetlink. Say 'Y' | ||
if you have a DCB capable Ethernet adapter which supports this | ||
interface and you are connected to a DCB capable switch. | ||
|
||
DCB is a collection of Ethernet enhancements which allow DCB capable | ||
NICs and switches to support network traffic with differing | ||
requirements (highly reliable, no drops vs. best effort vs. low | ||
latency) to co-exist on Ethernet. | ||
|
||
DCB features include: | ||
Enhanced Transmission Selection (aka Priority Grouping) - provides a | ||
framework for assigning bandwidth guarantees to traffic classes. | ||
Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) - a MAC control pause frame which | ||
works at the granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the | ||
link (802.3x). | ||
|
||
If unsure, say N. |
