Merge branch 'devlink-Introduce-PCI-PF-VF-ports-and-attributes'
Parav Pandit says: ==================== devlink: Introduce PCI PF, VF ports and attributes This patchset carry forwards the work initiated in [1] and discussion futher concluded at [2]. To improve visibility of representor netdevice, its association with PF or VF, physical port, two new devlink port flavours are added as PCI PF and PCI VF ports. A sample eswitch view can be seen below, which will be futher extended to mdev subdevices of a PCI function in future. Patch-1 moves physical port's attribute to new structure Patch-2 enhances netlink response to consider port flavour Patch-3,4 extends devlink port attributes and port flavour Patch-5 extends mlx5 driver to register devlink ports for PF, VF and physical link. +---+ +---+ vf| | | | pf +-+-+ +-+-+ physical link <---------+ | | | | | | | | +-+-+ +-+-+ +-+-+ | 1 | | 2 | | 3 | +--+---+-----+---+------+---+--+ | physical vf pf | | port port port | | | | eswitch | | | +------------------------------+ [1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg555797.html [2] https://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=155354609408485&w=2 Changelog: v5->v6: - Fixed port flavour check order for PCI PF vs other flavours in netlink response. - Changed 'physical' to 'phys'. v4->v5: - Split first patch to two patches to handle netlink response in separate patch. - Corrected typo 'otwerwise' to 'otherwise' in patches 3 and 4. v3->v4: - Addressed comments from Jiri. - Split first patch to two patches. - Renamed phys_port to physical to be consistent with pci_pf. - Removed port_number from __devlink_port_attrs_set and moved assignment to caller function. - Used capital letter while moving old comment to new structure. - Removed helper function is_devlink_phy_port_num_supported(). v2->v3: - Made port_number and split_port_number applicable only to physical port flavours. v1->v2: - Updated new APIs and mlx5 driver to drop port_number for PF, VF attributes - Updated port_number comment for its usage - Limited putting port_number to physical ports ==================== Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
