netdevsim devlink support
=========================
This document describes the ``devlink`` features supported by the
``netdevsim`` device driver.
Parameters
==========
.. list-table:: Generic parameters implemented
* - Name
- Mode
* - ``max_macs``
- driverinit
The ``netdevsim`` driver also implements the following driver-specific
parameters.
.. list-table:: Driver-specific parameters implemented
:widths: 5 5 5 85
* - Name
- Type
- Mode
- Description
* - ``test1``
- Boolean
- 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, FIB rule entries and nexthops 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
$ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv6/fib-rules size 16
$ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /nexthops size 16
$ devlink dev reload netdevsim/netdevsim0
Rate objects
============
The ``netdevsim`` driver supports rate objects management, which includes:
- registerging/unregistering leaf rate objects per VF devlink port;
- creation/deletion node rate objects;
- setting tx_share and tx_max rate values for any rate object type;
- setting parent node for any rate object type.
Rate nodes and it's parameters are exposed in ``netdevsim`` debugfs in RO mode.
For example created rate node with name ``some_group``:
.. code:: shell
$ ls /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/netdevsim0/rate_groups/some_group
rate_parent tx_max tx_share
Same parameters are exposed for leaf objects in corresponding ports directories.
For ex.:
.. code:: shell
$ ls /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/netdevsim0/ports/1
dev ethtool rate_parent tx_max tx_share
Driver-specific Traps
=====================
.. list-table:: List of Driver-specific Traps Registered by ``netdevsim``
:widths: 5 5 90
* - Name
- Type
- Description
* - ``fid_miss``
- ``exception``
- When a packet enters the device it is classified to a filtering
indentifier (FID) based on the ingress port and VLAN. This trap is used
to trap packets for which a FID could not be found
