<title>devlink: Move graceful period parameter to reporter ops</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d2b007374551ac09db16badde575cdd698f6fc92</id>
<content type='text'>
Move the default graceful period from a parameter to
devlink_health_reporter_create() to a field in the
devlink_health_reporter_ops structure.

This change improves consistency, as the graceful period is inherently
tied to the reporter's behavior and recovery policy. It simplifies the
signature of devlink_health_reporter_create() and its internal helper
functions. It also centralizes the reporter configuration at the ops
structure, preparing the groundwork for a downstream patch that will
introduce a devlink health reporter burst period attribute whose
default value will similarly be provided by the driver via the ops
structure.

Drop unneeded error checking.

devlink_fmsg_*() family of functions is now retaining errors,
so there is no need to check for them after each call.

Similar to other devlink objects, protect the reporters list
by devlink instance lock. Alongside add unlocked versions
of health reporter create/destroy functions and use them in drivers
on call paths where the instance lock is held.

<content type='text'>
Devlink core exported generously the functions calls that were used
by netdevsim tests or not used at all.

Delete such APIs with one exception - devlink_alloc_ns(). That function
should be spared from deleting because it is a special form of devlink_alloc()
needed for the netdevsim.

<title>devlink: Implicitly set auto recover flag when registering health reporter</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ba7d16c7794213b591a0ea415d975858d6a7dfd8</id>
<content type='text'>
When health reporter is registered to devlink, devlink will implicitly set
auto recover if and only if the reporter has a recover method. No reason
to explicitly get the auto recover flag from the driver.

Remove this flag from all drivers that called
devlink_health_reporter_create.

All existing health reporters set auto recovery to true if they have a
recover method.

Yet, administrator can unset auto recover via netlink command as prior to
this patch.

Health reporters should be registered with auto recover set to true.
Align dummy reporter behaviour with that, as in later patch the option to
set auto recover behaviour will be removed.

In addition, align netdevsim selftest to the new default value.

<title>netdevsim: use __GFP_NOWARN to avoid memalloc warning</title>

<content type='text'>
vfnum buffer size and binary_len buffer size is received by user-space.
So, this buffer size could be too large. If so, kmalloc will internally
print a warning message.
This warning message is actually not necessary for the netdevsim module.
So, this patch adds __GFP_NOWARN.

Test commands:
    modprobe netdevsim
    echo 1 &gt; /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
    echo 1000000000 &gt; /sys/devices/netdevsim1/sriov_numvfs
