[PATCH 02/10] enic: add admin channel open and close for SR-IOV

From: Satish Kharat via B4 Relay

Date: Mon Apr 06 2026 - 20:39:03 EST


From: Satish Kharat <satishkh@xxxxxxxxx>

The V2 SR-IOV design uses a dedicated admin channel (WQ/RQ/CQ/INTR
on separate BAR resources) for PF-VF mailbox communication rather
than firmware-proxied devcmds.

Introduce enic_admin_channel_open() and enic_admin_channel_close().
Open allocates and initialises the admin WQ, RQ, two CQs (one per
direction) and one SR-IOV interrupt, then issues CMD_QP_TYPE_SET to
tell firmware the queues are admin-type. Close reverses the sequence.

Add CMD_QP_TYPE_SET (97) and QP_TYPE_ADMIN/DATA defines to
vnic_devcmd.h.
