Jiri Pirko says: ==================== devlink: introduce selective dumps Motivation: For SFs, one devlink instance per SF is created. There might be thousands of these on a single host. When a user needs to know port handle for specific SF, he needs to dump all devlink ports on the host which does not scale good. Solution: Allow user to pass devlink handle (and possibly other attributes) alongside the dump command and dump only objects which are matching the selection. Use split ops to generate policies for dump callbacks acccording to the attributes used for selection. The userspace can use ctrl genetlink GET_POLICY command to find out if the selective dumps are supported by kernel for particular command. Example: $ devlink port show auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.0/65535: type eth netdev eth2 flavour physical port 0 splittable false auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.1/131071: type eth netdev eth3 flavour physical port 1 splittable false $ devlink port show auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.0 auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.0/65535: type eth netdev eth2 flavour physical port 0 splittable false $ devlink port show auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.1 auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.1/131071: type eth netdev eth3 flavour physical port 1 splittable false Extension: patches #12 and #13 extends selection attributes by port index for health reporter dumping. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230811155714.1736405-1-jiri@resnulli.us Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
