<content type='text'>
Cited commit changed devlink to register its netdev notifier block on
the global netdev notifier chain instead of on the per network namespace
one.

However, when changing the network namespace of the devlink instance,
devlink still tries to unregister its notifier block from the chain of
the old namespace and register it on the chain of the new namespace.
This results in corruption of the notifier chains, as the same notifier
block is registered on two different chains: The global one and the per
network namespace one. In turn, this causes other problems such as the
inability to dismantle namespaces due to netdev reference count issues.

Fix by preventing devlink from moving its notifier block between
namespaces.

Reproducer:

 # echo "10 1" &gt; /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
 # ip netns add test123
 # devlink dev reload netdevsim/netdevsim10 netns test123
 # ip netns del test123
 [   71.935619] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2
 [   71.938348] leaked reference.

Currently only the network namespace of devlink instance is monitored
for port events. If netdev is moved to a different namespace and then
unregistered, NETDEV_PRE_UNINIT is missed which leads to trigger
following WARN_ON in devl_port_unregister().
WARN_ON(devlink_port-&gt;type != DEVLINK_PORT_TYPE_NOTSET);

Fix this by changing the netdev notifier from per-net to global so no
event is missed.

Take the instance lock around devlink_nl_fill() when dumping,
doit takes it already.

We are only dumping basic info so in the worst case we were risking
data races around the reload statistics. Until the big devlink mutex
was removed all relevant code was protected by it, so the missing
instance lock was not exposed.

When the resource size changes, the return value of the
'nla_put_u64_64bit' function is not checked. That has been fixed to avoid
rechecking at the next step.

Note that this is harmless, we'd error out at the next put().

<title>devlink: Expose port function commands to control migratable</title>

<content type='text'>
Expose port function commands to enable / disable migratable
capability, this is used to set the port function as migratable.

Live migration is the process of transferring a live virtual machine
from one physical host to another without disrupting its normal
operation.

In order for a VM to be able to perform LM, all the VM components must
be able to perform migration. e.g.: to be migratable.
In order for VF to be migratable, VF must be bound to VFIO driver with
migration support.

When migratable capability is enabled for a function of the port, the
device is making the necessary preparations for the function to be
migratable, which might include disabling features which cannot be
migrated.

Example of LM with migratable function configuration:
Set migratable of the VF's port function.

$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2
pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0
vfnum 1
    function:
        hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 migratable disable

$ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/2 migratable enable

$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2
pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0
vfnum 1
    function:
        hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 migratable enable

Bind VF to VFIO driver with migration support:
$ echo &lt;pci_id&gt; &gt; /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver/unbind
$ echo mlx5_vfio_pci &gt; /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver_override
$ echo &lt;pci_id&gt; &gt; /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver/bind

Attach VF to the VM.
Start the VM.
Perform LM.

Expose port function commands to enable / disable RoCE, this is used to
control the port RoCE device capabilities.

When RoCE is disabled for a function of the port, function cannot create
any RoCE specific resources (e.g GID table).
It also saves system memory utilization. For example disabling RoCE enable a
VF/SF saves 1 Mbytes of system memory per function.

Example of a PCI VF port which supports function configuration:
Set RoCE of the VF's port function.

$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2
pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0

Some devlink instances may contain thousands of ports. Storing them in
linked list and looking them up is not scalable. Convert the linked list
into xarray.

Some drivers only reported the driver name in their
devlink_ops::info_get() callback. Now that the core provides this
information, the callback became empty. For such drivers, just
removing the callback would prevent the core from executing
devlink_nl_info_fill() meaning that "devlink dev info" would not
return anything.

Make the callback function optional by executing
devlink_nl_info_fill() even if devlink_ops::info_get() is NULL.

N.B.: the drivers with devlink support which previously did not
implement devlink_ops::info_get() will now also be able to report
the driver name.
