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.

Instead of checking the xarray mark directly using xa_get_mark() helper
use devl_is_registered() helper which wraps it up. Note that there are
couple more users of xa_get_mark() left which are going to be handled
by the next patch.

Add an assert to verify that the device lock is always held throughout
reload operations.

Tested the following flows with netdevsim and mlxsw while lockdep is
enabled:

netdevsim:

 # echo "10 1" &gt; /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
 # devlink dev reload netdevsim/netdevsim10
 # ip netns add bla
 # devlink dev reload netdevsim/netdevsim10 netns bla
 # ip netns del bla
 # echo 10 &gt; /sys/bus/netdevsim/del_device

mlxsw:

 # devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0
 # ip netns add bla
 # devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0 netns bla
 # ip netns del bla
 # echo 1 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/remove

<title>devlink: Acquire device lock during reload command</title>

<id>bf6b200bc80d18480f8d0fb61e185bb0587e633c</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

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.
