David Ahern b553cffa9f Merge branch 'dcb-app-dcbx' into next
Petr Machata  says:

====================

Add support to the dcb tool for the following two DCB objects:

- APP, which allows configuration of traffic prioritization rules based on
  several possible packet headers.

- DCBX, which is a 1-byte bitfield of flags that configure whether the DCBX
  protocol is implemented in the device or in the host, and which version
  of the protocol should be used.

Patch #1 adds a new helper for finding a name of a given dsfield value.
This is useful for APP DSCP-to-priority rules, which can use human-readable
DSCP names.

Patches #2, #3 and #4 extend existing interfaces for, respectively, parsing
of the X:Y mappings, for setting a DCB object, and for getting a DCB
object.

In patch #5, support for the command line argument -N / --Numeric is
added. The APP tool later uses it to decide whether to format DSCP values
as human-readable strings or as plain numbers.

Patches #6 and #7 add the subtools themselves and their man pages.

v2:
- Two patches dropped and sent to iproute2 branch as "dcb: Fixes".
  This patch set now depends on that one.
- Patch #5:
    - Make it -N / --Numeric instead of -n / --no-nice-names
    - Rename the flag from no_nice_names to numeric as well
- Patch #6:
    - Adjust to s/no_nice_names/numeric/ from another patch.

This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
