docs: fix info about representor identification

2023-10-14T00:30:00+00:00

Update the "How are representors identified?" documentation
subchapter. For newer kernels driver should use
SET_NETDEV_DEVLINK_PORT instead of ndo_get_devlink_port()
callback.

Documentation: netdev: fix dead link in ax25.rst

2023-09-18T11:56:58+00:00

http://linux-ax25.org has been down for nearly a year. Its official
replacement is https://linux-ax25.in-berlin.de.

Update the documentation to point there instead. And acknowledge that
while the linux-hams list isn't entirely dead, it isn't what most would
call 'active'. Remove that word.

 - VFIO direct character device (cdev) interface support. This extracts
   the vfio device fd from the container and group model, and is
   intended to be the native uAPI for use with IOMMUFD (Yi Liu)

 - Enhancements to the PCI hot reset interface in support of cdev usage

net/mlx5: Implement devlink port function cmds to control ipsec_packet

2023-08-28T00:08:45+00:00

Implement devlink port function commands to enable / disable IPsec
packet offloads. This is used to control the IPsec capability of the
device.

When ipsec_offload is enabled for a VF, it prevents adding IPsec packet
offloads on the PF, because the two cannot be active simultaneously due
to HW constraints. Conversely, if there are any active IPsec packet
offloads on the PF, it's not allowed to enable ipsec_packet on a VF,
until PF IPsec offloads are cleared.

devlink: Expose port function commands to control IPsec packet offloads

2023-08-28T00:08:45+00:00

Expose port function commands to enable / disable IPsec packet offloads,
this is used to control the port IPsec capabilities.

When IPsec packet is disabled for a function of the port (default),
function cannot offload IPsec packet operations (encapsulation and XFRM
policy offload). When enabled, IPsec packet operations can be offloaded
by the function of the port, which includes crypto operation
(Encrypt/Decrypt), IPsec encapsulation and XFRM state and policy
offload.

Example of a PCI VF port which supports IPsec packet offloads:

$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1
    pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf0 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 0
        function:
        hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 roce enable ipsec_packet disable

$ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/1 ipsec_packet enable

$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1
    pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf0 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 0
        function:
        hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 roce enable ipsec_packet enable
