devlink: fix net namespace reference leak in reload

2026-08-19T16:14:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1c4dac9bf1d2ac31da63b794bdec697777cbd0fd ] devlink_nl_reload_doit() calls devlink_netns_get(), which returns a net with a held reference. When the requested namespace differs from the current one and the reload action is not DRIVER_REINIT, the function returns -EOPNOTSUPP without releasing the reference. Add the missing put_net() on this error path.

netlink: add nlmsg_consume() and use it in devlink compat

2024-04-06T17:20:14+00:00

devlink_compat_running_version() sticks out when running netdevsim tests and watching dropped skbs. Add nlmsg_consume() for cases were we want to free a netlink skb but it is expected, rather than a drop. af_netlink code uses consume_skb() directly, which is fine, but some may prefer the symmetry of nlmsg_new() / nlmsg_consume().

netlink: introduce type-checking attribute iteration

2024-03-29T22:06:02+00:00

There are, especially with multi-attr arrays, many cases of needing to iterate all attributes of a specific type in a netlink message or a nested attribute. Add specific macros to support that case. Also convert many instances using this spatch: @@ iterator nla_for_each_attr; iterator name nla_for_each_attr_type; identifier nla; expression head, len, rem; expression ATTR; type T; identifier x; @@ -nla_for_each_attr(nla, head, len, rem) +nla_for_each_attr_type(nla, ATTR, head, len, rem) { <... T x; ...> -if (nla_type(nla) == ATTR) { ... -} } @@ identifier nla; iterator nla_for_each_nested; iterator name nla_for_each_nested_type; expression attr, rem; expression ATTR; type T; identifier x; @@ -nla_for_each_nested(nla, attr, rem) +nla_for_each_nested_type(nla, ATTR, attr, rem) { <... T x; ...> -if (nla_type(nla) == ATTR) { ... -} } @@ iterator nla_for_each_attr; iterator name nla_for_each_attr_type; identifier nla; expression head, len, rem; expression ATTR; type T; identifier x; @@ -nla_for_each_attr(nla, head, len, rem) +nla_for_each_attr_type(nla, ATTR, head, len, rem) { <... T x; ...> -if (nla_type(nla) != ATTR) continue; ... } @@ identifier nla; iterator nla_for_each_nested; iterator name nla_for_each_nested_type; expression attr, rem; expression ATTR; type T; identifier x; @@ -nla_for_each_nested(nla, attr, rem) +nla_for_each_nested_type(nla, ATTR, attr, rem) { <... T x; ...> -if (nla_type(nla) != ATTR) continue; ... } Although I had to undo one bad change this made, and I also adjusted some other code for whitespace and to use direct variable initialization now.

devlink: introduce a helper for netlink multicast send

2023-12-19T14:31:40+00:00

Introduce a helper devlink_nl_notify_send() so each object notification function does not have to call genlmsg_multicast_netns() with the same arguments. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

devlink: use devl_is_registered() helper instead xa_get_mark()

2023-12-19T14:31:40+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

devlink: Add device lock assert in reload operation

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" > /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 > /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 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/remove # echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Petr Machata Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: David S.

devlink: introduce possibility to expose info about nested devlinks

2023-09-17T13:01:47+00:00

In mlx5, there is a devlink instance created for PCI device. Also, one separate devlink instance is created for auxiliary device that represents the netdev of uplink port. This relation is currently invisible to the devlink user. Benefit from the rel infrastructure and allow for nested devlink instance to set the relationship for the nested-in devlink instance. Note that there may be many nested instances, therefore use xarray to hold the list of rel_indexes for individual nested instances. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
