From eb7b4d458e0d6833ffbb717edf4282f5ca6a7b57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Saeed Mahameed Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 09:34:48 +0530 Subject: devlink: Implement devlink param multi attribute nested data values Devlink param value attribute is not defined since devlink is handling the value validating and parsing internally, this allows us to implement multi attribute values without breaking any policies. Devlink param multi-attribute values are considered to be dynamically sized arrays of u64 values, by introducing a new devlink param type DEVLINK_PARAM_TYPE_U64_ARRAY, driver and user space can set a variable count of u64 values into the DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_VALUE_DATA attribute. Implement get/set parsing and add to the internal value structure passed to drivers. This is useful for devices that need to configure a list of values for a specific configuration. example: $ devlink dev param show pci/... name multi-value-param name multi-value-param type driver-specific values: cmode permanent value: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 $ devlink dev param set pci/... name multi-value-param \ value 4,5,6,7,0,1,2,3 cmode permanent Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed Signed-off-by: Ratheesh Kannoth Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260609040453.711932-5-rkannoth@marvell.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski --- 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 0b165eac7619..ca713bcc47b9 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/devlink.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/devlink.h @@ -406,6 +406,7 @@ enum devlink_var_attr_type { DEVLINK_VAR_ATTR_TYPE_BINARY, __DEVLINK_VAR_ATTR_TYPE_CUSTOM_BASE = 0x80, /* Any possible custom types, unrelated to NLA_* values go below */ + DEVLINK_VAR_ATTR_TYPE_U64_ARRAY, }; enum devlink_attr { -- cgit v1.2.3
