In DCB Willing Mode (FW managed LLDP), when the link partner changes
configuration which requires fewer TCs, the TCs that are no longer
needed are suspended by EMP FW, removed, and never resumed. This occurs
before a MIB change event is indicated to SW. The permanent suspension and
removal of these TC nodes in the scheduler prevents RDMA from being able
to destroy QPs associated with this TC, requiring a CORE reset to recover.
A new DCBX configuration change flow is defined to allow SW driver and
other SW components (RDMA) to properly adjust to the configuration
changes before they are taking effect in HW. This flow includes a
two-way handshake between EMP FW<->LAN SW<->RDMA SW.
List of changes:
- Add 'Execute Pending LLDP MIB' AQC.
- Add 'Pending Event Enable' bit.
- Add additional logic to ignore Pending Event Enable' request
while 'LLDP MIB Chnage' event is disabled.
- Add 'Execute Pending LLDP MIB' AQC sending function to FW,
which is needed to take place MIB Event change.
