The transport interface send (TIS) object is responsible for performing all transport related operations of the transmit side. Messages from Send Queues get segmented and transmitted by the TIS including all transport required implications, e.g. in the case of large send offload, the TIS is responsible for the segmentation. These are stateless objects and can be used by multiple netdevs (e.g. representors) who share the same core device. Providing the TISes as a service from the core layer to the netdev layer reduces the number of replecated TIS objects (in case of multiple netdevs), and will ease the transition to netdev with multiple mdevs. Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Gal Pressman <gal@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
