Jiri Pirko says: ==================== expose devlink instances relationships From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com> Currently, the user can instantiate new SF using "devlink port add" command. That creates an E-switch representor devlink port. When user activates this SF, there is an auxiliary device created and probed for it which leads to SF devlink instance creation. There is 1:1 relationship between E-switch representor devlink port and the SF auxiliary device devlink instance. Also, for example in mlx5, one devlink instance is created for PCI device and one is created for an auxiliary device that represents the uplink port. The relation between these is invisible to the user. Patches #1-#3 and #5 are small preparations. Patch #4 adds netnsid attribute for nested devlink if that in a different namespace. Patch #5 is the main one in this set, introduces the relationship tracking infrastructure later on used to track SFs, linecards and devlink instance relationships with nested devlink instances. Expose the relation to the user by introducing new netlink attribute DEVLINK_PORT_FN_ATTR_DEVLINK which contains the devlink instance related to devlink port function. This is done by patch #8. Patch #9 implements this in mlx5 driver. Patch #10 converts the linecard nested devlink handling to the newly introduced rel infrastructure. Patch #11 benefits from the rel infra and introduces possiblitily to have relation between devlink instances. Patch #12 implements this in mlx5 driver. Examples: $ devlink dev pci/0000:08:00.0: nested_devlink auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.0 pci/0000:08:00.1: nested_devlink auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.1 auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.1 auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.0 $ devlink port add pci/0000:08:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 106 pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type eth netdev eth4 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 106 splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached roce enable $ devlink port function set pci/0000:08:00.0/32768 state active $ devlink port show pci/0000:08:00.0/32768 pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type eth netdev eth4 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 106 splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state active opstate attached roce enable nested_devlink auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.2 $ devlink port show pci/0000:08:00.0/32768 pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type eth netdev eth4 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 106 splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state active opstate attached roce enable nested_devlink auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.2 nested_devlink_netns ns1 ==================== Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
