+Devlink DPIPE
+=============
+
+Background
+==========
+
+While performing the hardware offloading process, much of the hardware
+specifics cannot be presented. These details are useful for debugging, and
+``devlink-dpipe`` provides a standardized way to provide visibility into the
+offloading process.
+
+For example, the routing longest prefix match (LPM) algorithm used by the
+Linux kernel may differ from the hardware implementation. The pipeline debug
+API (DPIPE) is aimed at providing the user visibility into the ASIC's
+pipeline in a generic way.
+
+The hardware offload process is expected to be done in a way that the user
+should not be able to distinguish between the hardware vs. software
+implementation. In this process, hardware specifics are neglected. In
+reality those details can have lots of meaning and should be exposed in some
+standard way.
+
+This problem is made even more complex when one wishes to offload the
+control path of the whole networking stack to a switch ASIC. Due to
+differences in the hardware and software models some processes cannot be
+represented correctly.
+
+One example is the kernel's LPM algorithm which in many cases differs
+greatly to the hardware implementation. The configuration API is the same,
+but one cannot rely on the Forward Information Base (FIB) to look like the
+Level Path Compression trie (LPC-trie) in hardware.
+
+In many situations trying to analyze systems failure solely based on the
+kernel's dump may not be enough. By combining this data with complementary
+information about the underlying hardware, this debugging can be made
+easier; additionally, the information can be useful when debugging
+performance issues.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The ``devlink-dpipe`` interface closes this gap. The hardware's pipeline is
+modeled as a graph of match/action tables. Each table represents a specific
+hardware block. This model is not new, first being used by the P4 language.
+
+Traditionally it has been used as an alternative model for hardware
+configuration, but the ``devlink-dpipe`` interface uses it for visibility
+purposes as a standard complementary tool. The system's view from
+``devlink-dpipe`` should change according to the changes done by the
+standard configuration tools.
+
+For example, it’s quiet common to implement Access Control Lists (ACL)
+using Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM). The TCAM memory can be
+divided into TCAM regions. Complex TC filters can have multiple rules with
+different priorities and different lookup keys. On the other hand hardware
+TCAM regions have a predefined lookup key. Offloading the TC filter rules
+using TCAM engine can result in multiple TCAM regions being interconnected
+in a chain (which may affect the data path latency). In response to a new TC
+filter new tables should be created describing those regions.
+
+Model
+=====
+
+The ``DPIPE`` model introduces several objects:
+
+ * headers
+ * tables
+ * entries
+
+A ``header`` describes packet formats and provides names for fields within
+the packet. A ``table`` describes hardware blocks. An ``entry`` describes
+the actual content of a specific table.
+
+The hardware pipeline is not port specific, but rather describes the whole
+ASIC. Thus it is tied to the top of the ``devlink`` infrastructure.
+
+Drivers can register and unregister tables at run time, in order to support
+dynamic behavior. This dynamic behavior is mandatory for describing hardware
+blocks like TCAM regions which can be allocated and freed dynamically.
+
+``devlink-dpipe`` generally is not intended for configuration. The exception
+is hardware counting for a specific table.
+
+The following commands are used to obtain the ``dpipe`` objects from
+userspace:
+
+ * ``table_get``: Receive a table's description.
+ * ``headers_get``: Receive a device's supported headers.
+ * ``entries_get``: Receive a table's current entries.
+ * ``counters_set``: Enable or disable counters on a table.
+
+Table
+-----
+
+The driver should implement the following operations for each table:
+
+ * ``matches_dump``: Dump the supported matches.
+ * ``actions_dump``: Dump the supported actions.
+ * ``entries_dump``: Dump the actual content of the table.
+ * ``counters_set_update``: Synchronize hardware with counters enabled or
+ disabled.
+
+Header/Field
+------------
+
+In a similar way to P4 headers and fields are used to describe a table's
+behavior. There is a slight difference between the standard protocol headers
+and specific ASIC metadata. The protocol headers should be declared in the
+``devlink`` core API. On the other hand ASIC meta data is driver specific
+and should be defined in the driver. Additionally, each driver-specific
+devlink documentation file should document the driver-specific ``dpipe``
+headers it implements. The headers and fields are identified by enumeration.
+
+In order to provide further visibility some ASIC metadata fields could be
+mapped to kernel objects. For example, internal router interface indexes can
+be directly mapped to the net device ifindex. FIB table indexes used by
+different Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) tables can be mapped to
+internal routing table indexes.
+
+Match
+-----
+
+Matches are kept primitive and close to hardware operation. Match types like
+LPM are not supported due to the fact that this is exactly a process we wish
+to describe in full detail. Example of matches:
+
+ * ``field_exact``: Exact match on a specific field.
+ * ``field_exact_mask``: Exact match on a specific field after masking.
+ * ``field_range``: Match on a specific range.
+
+The id's of the header and the field should be specified in order to
+identify the specific field. Furthermore, the header index should be
+specified in order to distinguish multiple headers of the same type in a
+packet (tunneling).
+
+Action
+------
+
+Similar to match, the actions are kept primitive and close to hardware
+operation. For example:
+
+ * ``field_modify``: Modify the field value.
+ * ``field_inc``: Increment the field value.
+ * ``push_header``: Add a header.
+ * ``pop_header``: Remove a header.
+
+Entry
+-----
+
+Entries of a specific table can be dumped on demand. Each eentry is
+identified with an index and its properties are described by a list of
+match/action values and specific counter. By dumping the tables content the
+interactions between tables can be resolved.
+
+Abstraction Example
+===================
+
+The following is an example of the abstraction model of the L3 part of
+Mellanox Spectrum ASIC. The blocks are described in the order they appear in
+the pipeline. The table sizes in the following examples are not real
+hardware sizes and are provided for demonstration purposes.
+
+LPM
+---
+
+The LPM algorithm can be implemented as a list of hash tables. Each hash
+table contains routes with the same prefix length. The root of the list is
+/32, and in case of a miss the hardware will continue to the next hash
+table. The depth of the search will affect the data path latency.
+
+In case of a hit the entry contains information about the next stage of the
+pipeline which resolves the MAC address. The next stage can be either local
+host table for directly connected routes, or adjacency table for next-hops.
+The ``meta.lpm_prefix`` field is used to connect two LPM tables.
+
+.. code::
+
+ table lpm_prefix_16 {
+ size: 4096,
+ counters_enabled: true,
+ match: { meta.vr_id: exact,
+ ipv4.dst_addr: exact_mask,
+ ipv6.dst_addr: exact_mask,
+ meta.lpm_prefix: exact },
+ action: { meta.adj_index: set,
+ meta.adj_group_size: set,
+ meta.rif_port: set,
+ meta.lpm_prefix: set },
+ }
+
+Local Host
+----------
+
+In the case of local routes the LPM lookup already resolves the egress
+router interface (RIF), yet the exact MAC address is not known. The local
+host table is a hash table combining the output interface id with
+destination IP address as a key. The result is the MAC address.
+
+.. code::
+
+ table local_host {
+ size: 4096,
+ counters_enabled: true,
+ match: { meta.rif_port: exact,
+ ipv4.dst_addr: exact},
+ action: { ethernet.daddr: set }
+ }
+
+Adjacency
+---------
+
+In case of remote routes this table does the ECMP. The LPM lookup results in
+ECMP group size and index that serves as a global offset into this table.
+Concurrently a hash of the packet is generated. Based on the ECMP group size
+and the packet's hash a local offset is generated. Multiple LPM entries can
+point to the same adjacency group.
+
+.. code::
+
+ table adjacency {
+ size: 4096,
+ counters_enabled: true,
+ match: { meta.adj_index: exact,
+ meta.adj_group_size: exact,
+ meta.packet_hash_index: exact },
+ action: { ethernet.daddr: set,
+ meta.erif: set }
+ }
+
+ERIF
+----
+
+In case the egress RIF and destination MAC have been resolved by previous
+tables this table does multiple operations like TTL decrease and MTU check.
+Then the decision of forward/drop is taken and the port L3 statistics are
+updated based on the packet's type (broadcast, unicast, multicast).
+
+.. code::
+
+ table erif {
+ size: 800,
+ counters_enabled: true,
+ match: { meta.rif_port: exact,
+ meta.is_l3_unicast: exact,
+ meta.is_l3_broadcast: exact,
+ meta.is_l3_multicast, exact },
+ action: { meta.l3_drop: set,
+ meta.l3_forward: set }
+ }

+Devlink Health
+==============
+
+Background
+==========
+
+The ``devlink`` health mechanism is targeted for Real Time Alerting, in
+order to know when something bad happened to a PCI device.
+
+ * Provide alert debug information.
+ * Self healing.
+ * If problem needs vendor support, provide a way to gather all needed
+ debugging information.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The main idea is to unify and centralize driver health reports in the
+generic ``devlink`` instance and allow the user to set different
+attributes of the health reporting and recovery procedures.
+
+The ``devlink`` health reporter:
+Device driver creates a "health reporter" per each error/health type.
+Error/Health type can be a known/generic (eg pci error, fw error, rx/tx error)
+or unknown (driver specific).
+For each registered health reporter a driver can issue error/health reports
+asynchronously. All health reports handling is done by ``devlink``.
+Device driver can provide specific callbacks for each "health reporter", e.g.:
+
+ * Recovery procedures
+ * Diagnostics procedures
+ * Object dump procedures
+ * OOB initial parameters
+
+Different parts of the driver can register different types of health reporters
+with different handlers.
+
+Actions
+=======
+
+Once an error is reported, devlink health will perform the following actions:
+
+ * A log is being send to the kernel trace events buffer
+ * Health status and statistics are being updated for the reporter instance
+ * Object dump is being taken and saved at the reporter instance (as long as
+ there is no other dump which is already stored)
+ * Auto recovery attempt is being done. Depends on:
+ - Auto-recovery configuration
+ - Grace period vs. time passed since last recover
+
+User Interface
+==============
+
+User can access/change each reporter's parameters and driver specific callbacks
+via ``devlink``, e.g per error type (per health reporter):
+
+ * Configure reporter's generic parameters (like: disable/enable auto recovery)
+ * Invoke recovery procedure
+ * Run diagnostics
+ * Object dump

+ for this reporter, devlink generates a new dump.

+Devlink Info
+============
+
+The ``devlink-info`` mechanism enables device drivers to report device
+information in a generic fashion. It is extensible, and enables exporting
+even device or driver specific information.
+
+devlink supports representing the following types of versions
+
+.. list-table:: List of version types
+ :widths: 5 95
+
+ * - Type
+ - Description
+ * - ``fixed``
+ - Represents fixed versions, which cannot change. For example,
+ component identifiers or the board version reported in the PCI VPD.
+ * - ``running``
+ - Represents the version of the currently running component. For
+ example the running version of firmware. These versions generally
+ only update after a reboot.
+ * - ``stored``
+ - Represents the version of a component as stored, such as after a
+ flash update. Stored values should update to reflect changes in the
+ flash even if a reboot has not yet occurred.
+
+Generic Versions
+================
+
+It is expected that drivers use the following generic names for exporting
+version information. Other information may be exposed using driver-specific
+names, but these should be documented in the driver-specific file.

+Devlink Params
+==============
+
+``devlink`` provides capability for a driver to expose device parameters for low
+level device functionality. Since devlink can operate at the device-wide
+level, it can be used to provide configuration that may affect multiple
+ports on a single device.
+
+This document describes a number of generic parameters that are supported
+across multiple drivers. Each driver is also free to add their own
+parameters. Each driver must document the specific parameters they support,
+whether generic or not.
+
+Configuration modes
+===================
+
+Parameters may be set in different configuration modes.
+
+.. list-table:: Possible configuration modes
+ :widths: 5 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``runtime``
+ - set while the driver is running, and takes effect immediately. No
+ reset is required.
+ * - ``driverinit``
+ - applied while the driver initializes. Requires the user to restart
+ the driver using the ``devlink`` reload command.
+ * - ``permanent``
+ - written to the device's non-volatile memory. A hard reset is required
+ for it to take effect.
+
+Reloading
+---------
+
+In order for ``driverinit`` parameters to take effect, the driver must
+support reloading via the ``devlink-reload`` command. This command will
+request a reload of the device driver.
+
+Generic configuration parameters
+================================
+The following is a list of generic configuration parameters that drivers may
+add. Use of generic parameters is preferred over each driver creating their
+own name.

+ - Boolean
+ - Ignore Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI) capability. If
+ enabled, the adapter will ignore ARI capability even when the
+ platform has support enabled. The device will create the same number
+ of partitions as when the platform does not support ARI.
+ * - ``msix_vec_per_pf_max``
+ - u32
+ - Provides the maximum number of MSI-X interrupts that a device can
+ create. Value is the same across all physical functions (PFs) in the
+ device.

+Devlink Region
+==============
+
+``devlink`` regions enable access to driver defined address regions using
+devlink.
+
+Each device can create and register its own supported address regions. The
+region can then be accessed via the devlink region interface.
+
+Region snapshots are collected by the driver, and can be accessed via read
+or dump commands. This allows future analysis on the created snapshots.
+Regions may optionally support triggering snapshots on demand.
+
+The major benefit to creating a region is to provide access to internal
+address regions that are otherwise inaccessible to the user.
+
+Regions may also be used to provide an additional way to debug complex error
+states, but see also :doc:`devlink-health`
+
+example usage
+-------------
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $ devlink region help
+ $ devlink region show [ DEV/REGION ]

+================
+Devlink Resource
+================
+
+``devlink`` provides the ability for drivers to register resources, which
+can allow administrators to see the device restrictions for a given
+resource, as well as how much of the given resource is currently
+in use. Additionally, these resources can optionally have configurable size.
+This could enable the administrator to limit the number of resources that
+are used.
+
+For example, the ``netdevsim`` driver enables ``/IPv4/fib`` and
+``/IPv4/fib-rules`` as resources to limit the number of IPv4 FIB entries and
+rules for a given device.
+
+Resource Ids
+============
+
+Each resource is represented by an id, and contains information about its
+current size and related sub resources. To access a sub resource, you
+specify the path of the resource. For example ``/IPv4/fib`` is the id for
+the ``fib`` sub-resource under the ``IPv4`` resource.
+
+example usage
+-------------
+
+The resources exposed by the driver can be observed, for example:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $devlink resource show pci/0000:03:00.0
+ pci/0000:03:00.0:
+ name kvd size 245760 unit entry
+ resources:
+ name linear size 98304 occ 0 unit entry size_min 0 size_max 147456 size_gran 128
+ name hash_double size 60416 unit entry size_min 32768 size_max 180224 size_gran 128
+ name hash_single size 87040 unit entry size_min 65536 size_max 212992 size_gran 128
+
+Some resource's size can be changed. Examples:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $devlink resource set pci/0000:03:00.0 path /kvd/hash_single size 73088
+ $devlink resource set pci/0000:03:00.0 path /kvd/hash_double size 74368
+
+The changes do not apply immediately, this can be validated by the 'size_new'
+attribute, which represents the pending change in size. For example:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $devlink resource show pci/0000:03:00.0
+ pci/0000:03:00.0:
+ name kvd size 245760 unit entry size_valid false
+ resources:
+ name linear size 98304 size_new 147456 occ 0 unit entry size_min 0 size_max 147456 size_gran 128
+ name hash_double size 60416 unit entry size_min 32768 size_max 180224 size_gran 128
+ name hash_single size 87040 unit entry size_min 65536 size_max 212992 size_gran 128
+
+Note that changes in resource size may require a device reload to properly
+take effect.

+Devlink Trap
+============
+
+Background
+==========
+
+Devices capable of offloading the kernel's datapath and perform functions such
+as bridging and routing must also be able to send specific packets to the
+kernel (i.e., the CPU) for processing.
+
+For example, a device acting as a multicast-aware bridge must be able to send
+IGMP membership reports to the kernel for processing by the bridge module.
+Without processing such packets, the bridge module could never populate its
+MDB.
+
+As another example, consider a device acting as router which has received an IP
+packet with a TTL of 1. Upon routing the packet the device must send it to the
+kernel so that it will route it as well and generate an ICMP Time Exceeded
+error datagram. Without letting the kernel route such packets itself, utilities
+such as ``traceroute`` could never work.
+
+The fundamental ability of sending certain packets to the kernel for processing
+is called "packet trapping".
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The ``devlink-trap`` mechanism allows capable device drivers to register their
+supported packet traps with ``devlink`` and report trapped packets to
+``devlink`` for further analysis.
+
+Upon receiving trapped packets, ``devlink`` will perform a per-trap packets and
+bytes accounting and potentially report the packet to user space via a netlink
+event along with all the provided metadata (e.g., trap reason, timestamp, input
+port). This is especially useful for drop traps (see :ref:`Trap-Types`)
+as it allows users to obtain further visibility into packet drops that would
+otherwise be invisible.
+
+The following diagram provides a general overview of ``devlink-trap``::

+.. _Trap-Types:
+
+Trap Types
+==========
+
+The ``devlink-trap`` mechanism supports the following packet trap types:
+
+ * ``drop``: Trapped packets were dropped by the underlying device. Packets
+ are only processed by ``devlink`` and not injected to the kernel's Rx path.
+ The trap action (see :ref:`Trap-Actions`) can be changed.
+ * ``exception``: Trapped packets were not forwarded as intended by the
+ underlying device due to an exception (e.g., TTL error, missing neighbour
+ entry) and trapped to the control plane for resolution. Packets are
+ processed by ``devlink`` and injected to the kernel's Rx path. Changing the
+ action of such traps is not allowed, as it can easily break the control
+ plane.
+
+.. _Trap-Actions:
+
+Trap Actions
+============
+
+The ``devlink-trap`` mechanism supports the following packet trap actions:
+
+ * ``trap``: The sole copy of the packet is sent to the CPU.
+ * ``drop``: The packet is dropped by the underlying device and a copy is not
+ sent to the CPU.
+
+Generic Packet Traps
+====================
+
+Generic packet traps are used to describe traps that trap well-defined packets
+or packets that are trapped due to well-defined conditions (e.g., TTL error).
+Such traps can be shared by multiple device drivers and their description must
+be added to the following table:

+
+Driver-specific Packet Traps
+============================
+
+Device drivers can register driver-specific packet traps, but these must be
+clearly documented. Such traps can correspond to device-specific exceptions and
+help debug packet drops caused by these exceptions. The following list includes
+links to the description of driver-specific traps registered by various device
+drivers:
+
+ * :doc:`netdevsim`
+ * :doc:`mlxsw`
+
+Generic Packet Trap Groups
+==========================
+
+Generic packet trap groups are used to aggregate logically related packet
+traps. These groups allow the user to batch operations such as setting the trap
+action of all member traps. In addition, ``devlink-trap`` can report aggregated
+per-group packets and bytes statistics, in case per-trap statistics are too
+narrow. The description of these groups must be added to the following table:
+
+.. list-table:: List of Generic Packet Trap Groups
+ :widths: 10 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``l2_drops``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were dropped by the device during
+ layer 2 forwarding (i.e., bridge)
+ * - ``l3_drops``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were dropped by the device or hit
+ an exception (e.g., TTL error) during layer 3 forwarding
+ * - ``buffer_drops``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were dropped by the device due to
+ an enqueue decision
+ * - ``tunnel_drops``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were dropped by the device during
+ tunnel encapsulation / decapsulation
+
+Testing
+=======
+
+See ``tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/netdevsim/devlink_trap.sh`` for a
+test covering the core infrastructure. Test cases should be added for any new
+functionality.
+
+Device drivers should focus their tests on device-specific functionality, such
+as the triggering of supported packet traps.

+ :widths: 5 5 5 85
+
+ * - Name
+ - Type
+ - Mode
+ - Description
+ * - ``ATU_hash``
+ - u8
+ - runtime
+ - Select one of four possible hashing algorithms for MAC addresses in
+ the Address Translation Unit. A value of 3 may work better than the
+ default of 1 when many MAC addresses have the same OUI. Only the
+ values 0 to 3 are valid for this parameter.

+ - driverinit
+ - Test parameter used to show how a driver-specific devlink parameter
+ can be implemented.
+
+The ``netdevsim`` driver supports reloading via ``DEVLINK_CMD_RELOAD``
+
+Regions
+=======
+
+The ``netdevsim`` driver exposes a ``dummy`` region as an example of how the
+devlink-region interfaces work. A snapshot is taken whenever the
+``take_snapshot`` debugfs file is written to.
+
+Resources
+=========
+
+The ``netdevsim`` driver exposes resources to control the number of FIB
+entries and FIB rule entries that the driver will allow.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv4/fib size 96
+ $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv4/fib-rules size 16
+ $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv6/fib size 64
