26ba30221c devlink: add generic device max_sfs parameter
Add a new generic devlink device parameter (max_sfs) to control if and
how many light-weight NIC subfunctions can be created. Subfunctions are
a light-weight network functions backed by an underlying PCI function.
Their lifecycle can already be managed by devlink, but currently users
cannot enable them in the device. They can be enabled/disabled only via
external vendor tools. This parameter allows subfunctions to be enabled
(>0) or disabled (0) via devlink. A subsequent patch will add support
for max_sfs to the mlx5 driver.

cb59bfd419 devlink: Expose external flag for PCI SF ports
The external flag is part of the PCI SF port attributes, but unlike the
PCI PF and PCI VF flavours it was never filled into the port dump, so
userspace could not query it directly.

Reporting of the external flag was missed for SF ports. Hence, put
DEVLINK_ATTR_PORT_EXTERNAL for the PCI SF flavour as well, matching what
PCI PF and PCI VF ports already report.

$ devlink port show pci/0033:01:00.0/163840

1c4dac9bf1 devlink: fix net namespace reference leak in reload
devlink_nl_reload_doit() calls devlink_netns_get(), which returns a net
with a held reference. When the requested namespace differs from the
current one and the reload action is not DRIVER_REINIT, the function
returns -EOPNOTSUPP without releasing the reference. Add the missing

f6ec46b7e2 devlink: print controller prefix for non-zero controller
The controller prefix (c<N>) in phys_port_name is currently restricted
to external host controllers. This layout sufficed when DPUs only had a
single local controller and one or more external host controllers.

However, newer devices can have multiple controllers within the DPU
itself, even within a single host environment. To support these
topologies, allow drivers to report the controller number regardless of
the "external" flag status. Any non-zero controller number will now be
explicitly reported, even for single-host or local DPU controllers.
Existing ports with controller=0 are unaffected.

Update documentation and kdoc to clarify that a non-zero controller
number does not require the external flag to be set.

6bbd1bce30 devlink: Allow rate node parents from other devlinks
This commit makes use of the building blocks previously added to
implement cross-device rate nodes.

A new 'supported_cross_device_rate_nodes' bool is added to devlink_ops
which lets drivers advertise support for cross-device rate objects.
If enabled and if there is a common shared devlink instance, then:
- all rate objects will be stored in the top-most common nested instance
  and
- rate objects can have parents from other devices sharing the same
  common instance.

Storing rates in the common shared ancestor is safe, because it is
reference counted by its nested devlink instances, so it's guaranteed to
outlive them. Furthermore, the shared devlink infra guarantees a given
nested devlink hierarchy is managed by the same driver.

The parent devlink from info->ctx is not locked, so none of its mutable
fields can be used. But parent setting only requires comparing devlink
pointer comparisons. Additionally, since the shared devlink is locked,
other rate operations cannot concurrently happen.

58132b6fc4 devlink: Allow parent dev for rate-set and rate-new
Currently, a devlink rate's parent device is assumed to be the same as
the one where the devlink rate is created.

This patch changes that to allow rate commands to accept an additional
argument that specifies the parent dev. This will allow devlink rate
groups with leafs from other devices.

Example of the new usage with ynl:

Creating a group on pci/0000:08:00.1 with a parent to an already
existing pci/0000:08:00.1/group1:
./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --spec \
Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml --do rate-new --json '{
    "bus-name": "pci",
    "dev-name": "0000:08:00.1",
    "rate-node-name": "group2",
    "rate-parent-node-name": "group1",
    "parent-dev": {
        "bus-name": "pci",
        "dev-name": "0000:08:00.1"
    }
  }'

Setting the parent of leaf node pci/0000:08:00.1/65537 to
pci/0000:08:00.0/group1:
./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --spec \
Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml --do rate-set --json '{
    "bus-name": "pci",
    "dev-name": "0000:08:00.1",
    "port-index": 65537,
    "parent-dev": {
        "bus-name": "pci",
        "dev-name": "0000:08:00.0"
    },
    "rate-parent-node-name": "group1"
  }'

b5f90fd458 devlink: Add parent dev to devlink API
Upcoming changes to the rate commands need the parent devlink specified.
This change adds a nested 'parent-dev' attribute to the API and helpers
to obtain and put a reference to the parent devlink instance in
info->ctx.

To avoid deadlocks, the parent devlink is unlocked before obtaining the
main devlink instance that is the target of the request.
A reference to the parent is kept until the end of the request to avoid
it suddenly disappearing.

This means that this reference is of limited use without additional
protection.

db078bc2b0 devlink: Decouple rate storage from associated devlink object
Devlink rate leafs and nodes were stored in their respective devlink
objects pointed to by devlink_rate->devlink.

This patch removes that association by introducing the concept of
'rate node devlink', which is where all rates that could link to each
other are stored. For now this is the same as devlink_rate->devlink.

After this patch, the devlink rates stored in this devlink instance
could potentially be from multiple other devlink instances. So all rate
node manipulation code was updated to:
- correctly compare the actual devlink object during iteration.
- maybe acquire additional locks (noop for now).

ba81a8b80f devlink: Fix parent ref leak on tc-bw failure
When a node is created via rate-new with tc-bw and a parent node,
devlink_nl_rate_set() executes the sequence of ops. It bails out on the
first failure and doesn't rollback anything. For most things that is
fine (setting some numbers), but the parent set can leak if there's
another failure after that.

That is precisely what happens when parent setting isn't the last block
in the function. After the referenced "Fixes" commit, when tc-bw fails
to be set the function bails out after having set the parent and
incremented its refcount.
There are two callers:
- devlink_nl_rate_set_doit() is fine, it just reports the error.
- but devlink_nl_rate_new_doit() frees the newly created node and leaks
  the parent refcnt.

Fix that by reordering the blocks so parent setting is last and adding a
comment explaining this so future modification preserve the ordering
(hopefully).

f1e13d23e0 devlink: Warn on resource ID collision with PARENT_TOP
ID 0 serves as the sentinel DEVLINK_RESOURCE_ID_PARENT_TOP to mark
top-level resources. While it is technically possible to use 0 as a real
resource ID, a user might be tempted to write:

enum {
    MY_RESOURCE_ID_A,  /* == DEVLINK_RESOURCE_ID_PARENT_TOP ! */
    MY_RESOURCE_ID_B,
    MY_RESOURCE_ID_C,
    MY_RESOURCE_ID_D,
    ...
};

register(..., MY_RESOURCE_ID_C, DEVLINK_RESOURCE_ID_PARENT_TOP, ...);
register(..., MY_RESOURCE_ID_D, MY_RESOURCE_ID_C, ...);
/* D is a child of C */

register(..., MY_RESOURCE_ID_A, DEVLINK_RESOURCE_ID_PARENT_TOP, ...);
register(..., MY_RESOURCE_ID_B, MY_RESOURCE_ID_A, ...);
/* Is B intentionally top-level, or is it actually a child of A? */

Add a WARN_ON() to catch this and prevent confusion.

eb7b4d458e devlink: Implement devlink param multi attribute nested data values
Devlink param value attribute is not defined since devlink is handling
the value validating and parsing internally, this allows us to implement
multi attribute values without breaking any policies.

Devlink param multi-attribute values are considered to be dynamically
sized arrays of u64 values, by introducing a new devlink param type
DEVLINK_PARAM_TYPE_U64_ARRAY, driver and user space can set a variable
count of u64 values into the DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_VALUE_DATA attribute.

Implement get/set parsing and add to the internal value structure passed
to drivers.

This is useful for devices that need to configure a list of values for
a specific configuration.

example:
$ devlink dev param show pci/... name multi-value-param
name multi-value-param type driver-specific
values:
cmode permanent value: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

$ devlink dev param set pci/... name multi-value-param \
		value 4,5,6,7,0,1,2,3 cmode permanent

3522b21fd7 devlink: Release nested relation on devlink free
devlink relation state is normally released from devl_unregister(), which
calls devlink_rel_put(). This misses devlink instances that get a nested
relation before registration and then fail probe before devl_register() is
reached.

That flow can happen for SFs. The child devlink gets linked to its
parent before registration, then a later probe error calls devlink_free()
directly. Since the instance was never registered, devl_unregister() is not
called and devlink->rel is leaked.

Release any pending relation from devlink_free() as well. The registered
path is unchanged because devl_unregister() already clears devlink->rel
before devlink_free() runs.

1850e76b38 devlink: introduce shared devlink instance for PFs on same chip
Multiple PFs may reside on the same physical chip, running a single
firmware. Some of the resources and configurations may be shared among
these PFs. Currently, there is no good object to pin the configuration
knobs on.

Introduce a shared devlink instance, instantiated upon probe of
the first PF and removed during remove of the last PF. The shared
devlink instance is not backed by any device device, as there is
no PCI device related to it.

The implementation uses reference counting to manage the lifecycle:
each PF that probes calls devlink_shd_get() to get or create
the shared instance, and calls devlink_shd_put() when it removes.
The shared instance is automatically destroyed when the last PF removes.

Example:

pci/0000:08:00.0: index 0
  nested_devlink:
    auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.0
devlink_index/1: index 1
  nested_devlink:
    pci/0000:08:00.0
    pci/0000:08:00.1
auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.0: index 2
pci/0000:08:00.1: index 3

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

devlink_rate_nodes_check() was used to verify there are no devlink rate
nodes created when switching the esw mode.

Rate management code is about to become more complex, so refactor this
function:
- remove unused param 'mode'.
- add a new 'rate_filter' param.
- rename to devlink_rates_check().
- expose devlink_rate_is_node() to be used as a rate filter.

This makes it more usable from multiple places, so use it from those
places as well.

0061b5199d devlink: Reverse locking order for nested instances
Commit [1] defined the locking expectations for nested devlink
instances: the nested-in devlink instance lock needs to be acquired
before the nested devlink instance lock. The code handling devlink rels
was architected with that assumption in mind.

There are no actual users of double locking yet but that is about to
change in the upcoming patches in the series.

Code operating on nested devlink instances will require also obtaining
the nested-in instance lock, but such code may already be called from a
variety of places with the nested devlink instance lock. Then, there's
no way to acquire the nested-in lock other than making sure that all
callers acquire it first.

Reversing the nested lock order allows incrementally acquiring the
nested-in instance lock when needed (perhaps even a chain of locks up to
the root) without affecting any caller.

The only affected use of nesting is devlink_nl_nested_fill(), which
iterates over nested devlink instances with the RCU lock, without
locking them, so there's no possibility of deadlock.

So this commit just updates a comment regarding the nested locks.

relationship infra")

2a367002ed devlink: support default values for param-get and param-set
Support querying and resetting to default param values.

Introduce two new devlink netlink attrs:
DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_VALUE_DEFAULT and
DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_RESET_DEFAULT. The former is used to contain an
optional parameter value inside of the param_value nested
attribute. The latter is used in param-set requests from userspace to
indicate that the driver should reset the param to its default value.

To implement this, two new functions are added to the devlink driver
api: devlink_param::get_default() and
devlink_param::reset_default(). These callbacks allow drivers to
implement default param actions for runtime and permanent cmodes. For
driverinit params, the core latches the last value set by a driver via
devl_param_driverinit_value_set(), and uses that as the default value
for a param.

Because default parameter values are optional, it would be impossible
to discern whether or not a param of type bool has default value of
false or not provided if the default value is encoded using a netlink
flag type. For this reason, when a DEVLINK_PARAM_TYPE_BOOL has an
associated default value, the default value is encoded using a u8
type.

f94c1a114a devlink: rate: Unset parent pointer in devl_rate_nodes_destroy
The function devl_rate_nodes_destroy is documented to "Unset parent for
all rate objects". However, it was only calling the driver-specific
`rate_leaf_parent_set` or `rate_node_parent_set` ops and decrementing
the parent's refcount, without actually setting the
`devlink_rate->parent` pointer to NULL.

This leaves a dangling pointer in the `devlink_rate` struct, which cause
refcount error in netdevsim[1] and mlx5[2]. In addition, this is
inconsistent with the behavior of `devlink_nl_rate_parent_node_set`,
where the parent pointer is correctly cleared.

This patch fixes the issue by explicitly setting `devlink_rate->parent`
to NULL after notifying the driver, thus fulfilling the function's
documented behavior for all rate objects.

0e535824d0 devlink: Introduce switchdev_inactive eswitch mode
Adds DEVLINK_ESWITCH_MODE_SWITCHDEV_INACTIVE attribute to UAPI and
documentation.

Before having traffic flow through an eswitch, a user may want to have the
ability to block traffic towards the FDB until FDB is fully programmed and
the user is ready to send traffic to it. For example: when two eswitches
are present for vports in a multi-PF setup, one eswitch may take over the
traffic from the other when the user chooses.
Before this take over, a user may want to first program the inactive
eswitch and then once ready redirect traffic to this new eswitch.

switchdev modes transition semantics:

legacy->switchdev_inactive: Create switchdev mode normally, traffic not
  allowed to flow yet.

switchdev_inactive->switchdev: Enable traffic to flow.

switchdev->switchdev_inactive: Block traffic on the FDB, FDB and
  representros state and content is preserved.

When eswitch is configured to this mode, traffic is ignored/dropped on
this eswitch FDB, while current configuration is kept, e.g FDB rules and
netdev representros are kept available, FDB programming is allowed.

Example:
 # start inactive switchdev
devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.1 mode switchdev_inactive
 # setup TC rules, representors etc ..
 # activate
devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.1 mode switchdev
