netdevsim: add fw_update_flash_chunk_time_ms debugfs knobs

2025-07-24T00:08:56Z

Netdevsim emulates firmware update and it takes 5 seconds to complete. For some use cases, this is too long and unnecessary. Allow user to configure the time by exposing debugfs a knob to set chunk time.

net: netdevsim: Support setting dev->perm_addr on port creation

2025-07-12T00:00:18Z

Network management daemons that match on the device permanent address currently have no virtual interface types to test against. NetworkManager, in particular, has carried an out of tree patch to set the permanent address on netdevsim devices to use in its CI for this purpose. To support this use case, support setting netdev->perm_addr when creating a netdevsim port.

netdevsim: fix uninitialized data in nsim_dev_trap_fa_cookie_write()

2023-07-12T19:46:35Z

The simple_write_to_buffer() function is designed to handle partial writes. It returns negatives on error, otherwise it returns the number of bytes that were able to be copied. This code doesn't check the return properly. We only know that the first byte is written, the rest of the buffer might be uninitialized. There is no need to use the simple_write_to_buffer() function. Partial writes are prohibited by the "if (*ppos != 0)" check at the start of the function. Just use memdup_user() and copy the whole buffer.

devlink: remove devlink features

2023-01-30T08:37:46Z

Devlink features were introduced to disallow devlink reload calls of userspace before the devlink was fully initialized. The reason for this workaround was the fact that devlink reload was originally called without devlink instance lock held. However, with recent changes that converted devlink reload to be performed under devlink instance lock, this is redundant so remove devlink features entirely. Note that mlx5 used this to enable devlink reload conditionally only when device didn't act as multi port slave. Move the multi port check into mlx5_devlink_reload_down() callback alongside with the other checks preventing the device from reload in certain states.

devlink: protect devlink param list by instance lock

2023-01-27T12:32:02Z

Commit 1d18bb1a4ddd ("devlink: allow registering parameters after the instance") as the subject implies introduced possibility to register devlink params even for already registered devlink instance. This is a bit problematic, as the consistency or params list was originally secured by the fact it is static during devlink lifetime. So in order to protect the params list, take devlink instance lock during the params operations. Introduce unlocked function variants and use them in drivers in locked context. Put lock assertions to appropriate places.
