Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] net/mlx5: implement max_sfs parameter
Date: Sun, 17 May 2026 14:27:00 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260517112700.343575-3-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260517112700.343575-1-tariqt@nvidia.com>
From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@nvidia.com>
Implement max_sfs generic parameter to allow users to control the total
light-weight NIC subfunctions that can be created using devlink instead
of external vendor tools. A value of 0 will effectively disable creation
of new subfunction devices. A warning is sent to user-space via extack
(returning extack without error code is interpreted as a warning by
user-space tools).
