[PATCH net-next RFC v2 00/13] Add devlink reload action option

From: Moshe Shemesh
Date: Mon Aug 17 2020 - 05:40:08 EST


Introduce new option on devlink reload API to enable the user to select the
reload action required. Complete support for all actions in mlx5.
The following reload actions are supported:
fw_live_patch: firmware live patching.
driver_reinit: driver entities re-initialization, applying devlink-params
and devlink-resources values.
fw_activate: firmware activate.

Each driver which support this command should expose the reload actions
supported.
The uAPI is backward compatible, if the reload action option is omitted
from the reload command, the driver reinit action will be used.
Note that when required to do firmware activation some drivers may need
to reload the driver. On the other hand some drivers may need to reset
the firmware to reinitialize the driver entities.

Patch 1 adds the new API reload action option to devlink.
Patch 2 exposes the supported reload actions on devlink dev get.
Patches 3-8 add support on mlx5 for devlink reload action fw_activate
and handle the firmware reset events.
Patches 9-10 add devlink enable remote dev reset parameter and use it
in mlx5.
Patches 11-12 mlx5 add devlink reload live patch support and event
handling.
Patch 13 adds documentation file devlink-reload.rst

Command examples:

# Run reload command with fw activate reload action:
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:82:00.0 action fw_activate

# Run reload command with driver reload action:
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:82:00.0 action driver_reinit

# Run reload command with fw live patch reload action:
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:82:00.0 action fw_live_patch

v1 -> v2:
- Instead of reload levels driver,fw_reset,fw_live_patch have reload
actions driver_reinit,fw_activate,fw_live_patch
- Remove driver default level, the action driver_reinit is the default
action for all drivers
