devlink: add a command to set notification filter and use it for multicasts

2023-12-19T14:31:40Z

Currently the user listening on a socket for devlink notifications gets always all messages for all existing instances, even if he is interested only in one of those. That may cause unnecessary overhead on setups with thousands of instances present. User is currently able to narrow down the devlink objects replies to dump commands by specifying select attributes. Allow similar approach for notifications. Introduce a new devlink NOTIFY_FILTER_SET which the user passes the select attributes. Store these per-socket and use them for filtering messages during multicast send. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

devlink: Acquire device lock during reload command

2023-11-18T17:38:50Z

Device drivers register with devlink from their probe routines (under the device lock) by acquiring the devlink instance lock and calling devl_register(). Drivers that support a devlink reload usually implement the reload_{down, up}() operations in a similar fashion to their remove and probe routines, respectively. However, while the remove and probe routines are invoked with the device lock held, the reload operations are only invoked with the devlink instance lock held. It is therefore impossible for drivers to acquire the device lock from their reload operations, as this would result in lock inversion. The motivating use case for invoking the reload operations with the device lock held is in mlxsw which needs to trigger a PCI reset as part of the reload. The driver cannot call pci_reset_function() as this function acquires the device lock. Instead, it needs to call __pci_reset_function_locked which expects the device lock to be held. To that end, adjust devlink to always acquire the device lock before the devlink instance lock when performing a reload. Do that when reload is explicitly triggered by user space by specifying the 'DEVLINK_NL_FLAG_NEED_DEV_LOCK' flag in the pre_doit and post_doit operations of the reload command. A previous patch already handled the case where reload is invoked as part of netns dismantle.

devlink: Allow taking device lock in pre_doit operations

2023-11-18T17:38:50Z

Introduce a new private flag ('DEVLINK_NL_FLAG_NEED_DEV_LOCK') to allow netlink commands to specify that they need to acquire the device lock in their pre_doit operation and release it in their post_doit operation. The reload command will use this flag in the subsequent patch. No functional changes intended.

devlink: Enable the use of private flags in post_doit operations

2023-11-18T17:38:50Z

Currently, private flags (e.g., 'DEVLINK_NL_FLAG_NEED_PORT') are only used in pre_doit operations, but a subsequent patch will need to conditionally lock and unlock the device lock in pre and post doit operations, respectively. As a preparation, enable the use of private flags in post_doit operations in a similar fashion to how it is done for pre_doit operations. No functional changes intended.

devlink: call peernet2id_alloc() with net pointer under RCU read lock

2023-10-18T08:23:01Z

peernet2id_alloc() allows to be called lockless with peer net pointer obtained in RCU critical section and makes sure to return ns ID if net namespaces is not being removed concurrently. Benefit from read_pnet_rcu() helper addition, use it to obtain net pointer under RCU read lock and pass it to peernet2id_alloc() to get ns ID.
