Linux Devlink Documentation
===========================
devlink is an API to expose device information and resources not directly
related to any device class, such as chip-wide/switch-ASIC-wide configuration.
devlink: expose instance locking and add locked port registering It should be familiar and beneficial to expose devlink instance lock to the drivers. This way drivers can block devlink from calling them during critical sections without breakneck locking. Add port helpers, port splitting callbacks will be the first target. Use 'devl_' prefix for "explicitly locked" API. Initial RFC used '__devlink' but that's too much typing. devl_lock_is_held() is not defined without lockdep, which is the same behavior as lockdep_is_held() itself.

Locking
-------
Driver facing APIs are currently transitioning to allow more explicit
locking. Drivers can use the existing ``devlink_*`` set of APIs, or
new APIs prefixed by ``devl_*``. The older APIs handle all the locking
in devlink core, but don't allow registration of most sub-objects once
the main devlink object is itself registered. The newer ``devl_*`` APIs assume
the devlink instance lock is already held. Drivers can take the instance

Drivers need to be cautious when taking devlink instance lock and
taking RTNL lock at the same time. Devlink instance lock needs to be taken
first, only after that RTNL lock could be taken.

Nested instances
----------------
Some objects, like linecards or port functions, could have another
devlink instances created underneath. In that case, drivers should make
sure to respect following rules:
- Lock ordering should be maintained. If driver needs to take instance
lock of both nested and parent instances at the same time, devlink
instance lock of the parent instance should be taken first, only then
instance lock of the nested instance could be taken.
- Driver should use object-specific helpers to setup the
nested relationship:
- ``devl_nested_devlink_set()`` - called to setup devlink -> nested
devlink relationship (could be user for multiple nested instances.
- ``devl_port_fn_devlink_set()`` - called to setup port function ->
nested devlink relationship.
- ``devlink_linecard_nested_dl_set()`` - called to setup linecard ->
nested devlink relationship.
The nested devlink info is exposed to the userspace over object-specific
attributes of devlink netlink.
devlink: convert driver-specific files to reStructuredText Several drivers document what parameters they support in a devlink-params-*.txt file. This file is supposed to contain both the list of generic parameters implemented by the driver, as well as a list of driver-specific parameters and their descriptions. It would also be good if the driver documentation included other driver-specific implementations, such as info versions, devlink regions, and so forth. Convert all of these documentation files to reStructuredText, and rename them to just the driver name. Future changes will include other driver-specific implementations. Each file will contain a table for the generic parameters implemented, as well as a separate table for the driver-specific parameters. Future sections such as for devlink info versions will be added to these files. This avoids creating additional devlink-<feature>-<driver> files for each devlink feature, reducing clutter in the documentation folder.

devlink: implement line card provisioning In order to be able to configure all needed stuff on a port/netdevice of a line card without the line card being present, introduce line card provisioning. Basically by setting a type, provisioning process will start and driver is supposed to create a placeholder for instances (ports/netdevices) for a line card type. Allow the user to query the supported line card types over line card get command. Then implement two netlink command SET to allow user to set/unset the card type. On the driver API side, add provision/unprovision ops and supported types array to be advertised. Upon provision op call, the driver should take care of creating the instances for the particular line card type. Introduce provision_set/clear() functions to be called by the driver once the provisioning/unprovisioning is done on its side. These helpers are not to be called directly due to the async nature of provisioning. Example: $ devlink port # No ports are listed $ devlink lc pci/0000:01:00.0: lc 1 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 2 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 3 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 4 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 5 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 6 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 7 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 8 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G $ devlink lc set pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8 type 16x100G $ devlink lc show pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8 pci/0000:01:00.0: lc 8 state active type 16x100G supported_types: 16x100G $ devlink port pci/0000:01:00.0/0: type notset flavour cpu port 0 splittable false pci/0000:01:00.0/53: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p1 flavour physical lc 8 port 1 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/54: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p2 flavour physical lc 8 port 2 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/55: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p3 flavour physical lc 8 port 3 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/56: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p4 flavour physical lc 8 port 4 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/57: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p5 flavour physical lc 8 port 5 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/58: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p6 flavour physical lc 8 port 6 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/59: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p7 flavour physical lc 8 port 7 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/60: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p8 flavour physical lc 8 port 8 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/61: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p9 flavour physical lc 8 port 9 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/62: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p10 flavour physical lc 8 port 10 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/63: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p11 flavour physical lc 8 port 11 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/64: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p12 flavour physical lc 8 port 12 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/125: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p13 flavour physical lc 8 port 13 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/126: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p14 flavour physical lc 8 port 14 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/127: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p15 flavour physical lc 8 port 15 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/128: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p16 flavour physical lc 8 port 16 splittable true lanes 4 $ devlink lc set pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8 notype Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

devlink: add a driver-specific file for the qed driver The qed driver recently added devlink support with a single devlink parameter. Add a driver-specific file to document the devlink features that the qed driver supports.

devlink: convert driver-specific files to reStructuredText Several drivers document what parameters they support in a devlink-params-*.txt file. This file is supposed to contain both the list of generic parameters implemented by the driver, as well as a list of driver-specific parameters and their descriptions. It would also be good if the driver documentation included other driver-specific implementations, such as info versions, devlink regions, and so forth. Convert all of these documentation files to reStructuredText, and rename them to just the driver name. Future changes will include other driver-specific implementations. Each file will contain a table for the generic parameters implemented, as well as a separate table for the driver-specific parameters. Future sections such as for devlink info versions will be added to these files. This avoids creating additional devlink-<feature>-<driver> files for each devlink feature, reducing clutter in the documentation folder.

net: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: Add devlink support AM65 NUSS ethernet switch on K3 devices can be configured to work either in independent mac mode where each port acts as independent network interface (multi mac) or switch mode. Add devlink hooks to provide a way to switch b/w these modes. Rationale to use devlink instead of defaulting to bridge mode is that SoC use cases require to support multiple independent MAC ports with no switching so that users can use software bridges with multi-mac configuration (e.g: to support LAG, HSR/PRP, etc). Also, switching between multi mac and switch mode requires significant Port and ALE reconfiguration, therefore is easier to be made as part of mode change devlink hooks. It also allows to keep user interface similar to what was implemented for the previous generation of TI CPSW IP (on AM33/AM43/AM57 SoCs).
