From 0e535824d0bcf7c9bb0532d902283c31c78cd6f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Saeed Mahameed Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2025 23:04:02 -0800 Subject: devlink: Introduce switchdev_inactive eswitch mode Adds DEVLINK_ESWITCH_MODE_SWITCHDEV_INACTIVE attribute to UAPI and documentation. Before having traffic flow through an eswitch, a user may want to have the ability to block traffic towards the FDB until FDB is fully programmed and the user is ready to send traffic to it. For example: when two eswitches are present for vports in a multi-PF setup, one eswitch may take over the traffic from the other when the user chooses. Before this take over, a user may want to first program the inactive eswitch and then once ready redirect traffic to this new eswitch. switchdev modes transition semantics: legacy->switchdev_inactive: Create switchdev mode normally, traffic not allowed to flow yet. switchdev_inactive->switchdev: Enable traffic to flow. switchdev->switchdev_inactive: Block traffic on the FDB, FDB and representros state and content is preserved. When eswitch is configured to this mode, traffic is ignored/dropped on this eswitch FDB, while current configuration is kept, e.g FDB rules and netdev representros are kept available, FDB programming is allowed. Example: # start inactive switchdev devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.1 mode switchdev_inactive # setup TC rules, representors etc .. # activate devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.1 mode switchdev Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251108070404.1551708-2-saeed@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni --- include/uapi/linux/devlink.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'include/uapi/linux/devlink.h') diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/devlink.h b/include/uapi/linux/devlink.h index bcad11a787a5..157f11d3fb72 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/devlink.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/devlink.h @@ -181,6 +181,7 @@ enum devlink_sb_threshold_type { enum devlink_eswitch_mode { DEVLINK_ESWITCH_MODE_LEGACY, DEVLINK_ESWITCH_MODE_SWITCHDEV, + DEVLINK_ESWITCH_MODE_SWITCHDEV_INACTIVE, }; enum devlink_eswitch_inline_mode { -- cgit v1.2.3 From 2a367002ed321e884276c3d7232a362ddd1bf7d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Zahka Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 18:50:33 -0800 Subject: devlink: support default values for param-get and param-set Support querying and resetting to default param values. Introduce two new devlink netlink attrs: DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_VALUE_DEFAULT and DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_RESET_DEFAULT. The former is used to contain an optional parameter value inside of the param_value nested attribute. The latter is used in param-set requests from userspace to indicate that the driver should reset the param to its default value. To implement this, two new functions are added to the devlink driver api: devlink_param::get_default() and devlink_param::reset_default(). These callbacks allow drivers to implement default param actions for runtime and permanent cmodes. For driverinit params, the core latches the last value set by a driver via devl_param_driverinit_value_set(), and uses that as the default value for a param. Because default parameter values are optional, it would be impossible to discern whether or not a param of type bool has default value of false or not provided if the default value is encoded using a netlink flag type. For this reason, when a DEVLINK_PARAM_TYPE_BOOL has an associated default value, the default value is encoded using a u8 type.
