Subject: [PATCH 01/13] common/mlx5: rework IB port number query
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 17:26:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026162709.1292958-2-dsosnowski@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261026162709.1292958-1-dsosnowski@nvidia.com>
mlx5_nl_portnum() function currently requires that
IB port to netdev info cache (mlx5_dev_info) is always provided.
Rework this function:
- Allow calling mlx5_nl_portnum() without cache.
- Extract cache fetch/update logic into separate functions.
