From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jacob Keller Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2021 16:49:20 -0700 Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [net-next 0/4] ice: miscellaneous firmware features Message-ID: <20210908234924.3416592-1-jacob.e.keller@intel.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: intel-wired-lan@osuosl.org List-ID: This series contains a few miscellaneous left over pieces of work related to flash update that I've been meaning to submit for a while. This includes the following: * a new shadow-ram region similar to NVM region but for the device shadow RAM contents. This is distinct from NVM region because shadow RAM is built up during device init and may be different from the raw NVM flash data. (As I found out while debugging some issues with flash update). * refactoring of the ice_flash_pldm_image to become the main flash update entry point. This is simpler than having both a ice_devlink_flash_update and an ice_flash_pldm_image. It will make additions like dry-run easier in the future * support for firmware activation via devlink reload, when possible. The major new work is the reload support, which allows activating firmware immediately without a reboot when possible. As a note, I want to call out that the reload support here only supports firmware activation. I really did try to see what it would take to get proper driver reload support working. Unfortunately this task requires a large amount of rewrite to the entire flow that the driver uses for both probe/remove, as well as driver reset.
