From f92970c694b36a4dbac2b650b173c78c0f0954cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shannon Nelson Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2020 18:13:23 -0700 Subject: devlink: add timeout information to status_notify Add a timeout element to the DEVLINK_CMD_FLASH_UPDATE_STATUS netlink message for use by a userland utility to show that a particular firmware flash activity may take a long but bounded time to finish. Also add a handy helper for drivers to make use of the new timeout value. UI usage hints: - if non-zero, add timeout display to the end of the status line [component] status_msg ( Xm Ys : Am Bs ) using the timeout value for Am Bs and updating the Xm Ys every second - if the timeout expires while awaiting the next update, display something like [component] status_msg ( timeout reached : Am Bs ) - if new status notify messages are received, remove the timeout and start over Signed-off-by: Shannon Nelson Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Jacob Keller Signed-off-by: David S.
