devlink: Fix incorrect skb socket family dumping

2026-04-09T02:34:38+00:00

The devlink_fmsg_dump_skb function was incorrectly using the socket type (sk->sk_type) instead of the socket family (sk->sk_family) when filling the "family" field in the fast message dump. This patch fixes this to properly display the socket family.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

devlink: Make health reporter burst period configurable

2025-08-27T00:24:16+00:00

Enable configuration of the burst period — a time window starting from the first error recovery, during which the reporter allows recovery attempts for each reported error. This feature is helpful when a single underlying issue causes multiple errors, as it delays the start of the grace period to allow sufficient time for recovering all related errors. For example, if multiple TX queues time out simultaneously, a sufficient burst period could allow all affected TX queues to be recovered within that window. Without this period, only the first TX queue that reports a timeout will undergo recovery, while the remaining TX queues will be blocked once the grace period begins. Configuration example: $ devlink health set pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter tx burst_period 500 Configuration example with ynl: ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py \ --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml \ --do health-reporter-set --json '{ "bus-name": "auxiliary", "dev-name": "mlx5_core.eth.0", "port-index": 65535, "health-reporter-name": "tx", "health-reporter-burst-period": 500 }' Signed-off-by: Shahar Shitrit Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Reviewed-by: Dragos Tatulea Reviewed-by: Carolina Jubran Signed-off-by: Mark Bloch Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250824084354.533182-5-mbloch@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

devlink: Introduce burst period for health reporter

2025-08-27T00:24:16+00:00

Currently, the devlink health reporter starts the grace period immediately after handling an error, blocking any further recoveries until it finished. However, when a single root cause triggers multiple errors in a short time frame, it is desirable to treat them as a bulk of errors and to allow their recoveries, avoiding premature blocking of subsequent related errors, and reducing the risk of inconsistent or incomplete error handling. To address this, introduce a configurable burst period for devlink health reporter. Start this period when the first error is handled, and allow recovery attempts for reported errors during this window. Once burst period expires, begin the grace period to block further recoveries until it concludes. Timeline summary: ----|--------|------------------------------/----------------------/-- error is error is burst period grace period reported recovered (recoveries allowed) (recoveries blocked) For calculating the burst period duration, use the same last_recovery_ts as the grace period. Update it on recovery only when the burst period is inactive (either disabled or at the first error). This patch implements the framework for the burst period and effectively sets its value to 0 at reporter creation, so the current behavior remains unchanged, which ensures backward compatibility. A downstream patch will make the burst period configurable.

devlink: Move health reporter recovery abort logic to a separate function

Extract the health reporter recovery abort logic into a separate function devlink_health_recover_abort(). The function encapsulates the conditions for aborting recovery: - When auto-recovery is disabled - When previous error wasn't recovered - When within the grace period after last recovery Signed-off-by: Shahar Shitrit Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Reviewed-by: Dragos Tatulea Reviewed-by: Carolina Jubran Signed-off-by: Mark Bloch Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250824084354.533182-3-mbloch@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

devlink: Move graceful period parameter to reporter ops

2025-08-27T00:24:16+00:00

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.

devlink: define enum for attr types of dynamic attributes

2025-05-07T01:21:11+00:00

Devlink param and health reporter fmsg use attributes with dynamic type which is determined according to a different type. Currently used values are NLA_*. The problem is, they are not part of UAPI. They may change which would cause a break. To make this future safe, introduce a enum that shadows NLA_* values in it and is part of UAPI. Also, this allows to possibly carry types that are unrelated to NLA_* values.
