<content type='text'>
Currently, some of the commands are not described in devlink yaml file
and are manually filled in net/devlink/netlink.c in small_ops. To make
all part of split_ops, add definitions of the rest of the commands
alongside with needed attributes and enums.

Note that this focuses on the kernel side. The requests are fully
described in order to generate split_op alongside with policies.
Follow-up will describe the replies in order to make the userspace
helpers complete.

All remaining doit and dumpit netlink callback functions are going to be
used by generated split ops. They expect certain name format. Rename the
callback to be aligned with generated names.

<title>devlink: convert most of devlink_fmsg_*() to return void</title>

<content type='text'>
Since struct devlink_fmsg retains error by now (see 1st patch of this
series), there is no longer need to keep returning it in each call.

This is a separate commit to allow per-driver conversion to stop using
those return values.

<title>devlink: retain error in struct devlink_fmsg</title>

<id>urn:sha1:db80d3b2558fcc6d18fbcb1452cdf6df65cec151</id>
<content type='text'>
Retain error value in struct devlink_fmsg, to relieve drivers from
checking it after each call.
Note that fmsg is an in-memory builder/buffer of formatted message,
so it's not the case that half baked message was sent somewhere.

We could find following scheme in multiple drivers:
  err = devlink_fmsg_obj_nest_start(fmsg);
  if (err)
  	return err;
  err = devlink_fmsg_string_pair_put(fmsg, "src", src);
  if (err)
  	return err;
  err = devlink_fmsg_something(fmsg, foo, bar);
  if (err)
	return err;
  // and so on...
  err = devlink_fmsg_obj_nest_end(fmsg);

With retaining error API that translates to:
  devlink_fmsg_obj_nest_start(fmsg);
  devlink_fmsg_string_pair_put(fmsg, "src", src);
  devlink_fmsg_something(fmsg, foo, bar);
  // and so on...
  devlink_fmsg_obj_nest_end(fmsg);

What means we check error just when is time to send.

Possible error scenarios are developer error (API misuse) and memory
exhaustion, both cases are good candidates to choose readability
over fastest possible exit.

Note that this patch keeps returning errors, to allow per-driver conversion
to the new API, but those are not needed at this point already.

This commit itself is an illustration of benefits for the dev-user,
more of it will be in separate commits of the series.

                           other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
                             &amp;devlink-&gt;lock_key#14 --&gt; mlx5_intf_mutex --&gt; rtnl_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(rtnl_mutex);
                               lock(mlx5_intf_mutex);
                               lock(rtnl_mutex);
  lock(&amp;devlink-&gt;lock_key#14);

Problem is taking the devlink instance lock of nested instance when RTNL
is already held.

To fix this, don't take the devlink instance lock when putting nested
handle. Instead, rely on the preparations done by previous two patches
to be able to access device pointer and obtain netns id without devlink
instance lock held.
