[PATCH v3 net-next 0/9] bnxt_en: devlink param updates

[Vasundhara Volam]

This patchset adds support for 3 generic and 1 driver-specific devlink
parameters. Add documentation for these configuration parameters.

Also, this patchset adds support to return proper error code if
HWRM_NVM_GET/SET_VARIABLE commands return error code
HWRM_ERR_CODE_RESOURCE_ACCESS_DENIED.

v2->v3:
-Remove description of generic parameters from devlink-params-bnxt.txt.

v1->v2:
-Remove hw_tc_offload parameter.
-Update all patches with Cc of MAINTAINERS.
-Add more description in commit message for device specific parameter.
-Add a new Documentation/networking/devlink-params.txt with some
generic devlink parameters information.
-Add a new Documentation/networking/devlink-params-bnxt.txt with devlink
parameters information that are supported by bnxt_en driver.

Vasundhara Volam (9):
  devlink: Add generic parameter ignore_ari
  devlink: Add generic parameter msix_vec_per_pf_max
  devlink: Add generic parameter msix_vec_per_pf_min
  bnxt_en: Use ignore_ari devlink parameter
  bnxt_en: return proper error when FW returns
    HWRM_ERR_CODE_RESOURCE_ACCESS_DENIED
  bnxt_en: Use msix_vec_per_pf_max and msix_vec_per_pf_min devlink
    params.
  bnxt_en: Add a driver specific gre_ver_check devlink parameter.
  devlink: Add Documentation/networking/devlink-params.txt
  devlink: Add Documentation/networking/devlink-params-bnxt.txt

[PATCH v3 net-next 1/9] devlink: Add generic parameter ignore_ari

[Vasundhara Volam]

ignore_ari - Device ignores ARI(Alternate Routing ID) capability,
even when platforms has the support and creates same number of
partitions when platform does not support ARI capability.

This patch adds support for ignore_ari generic permanent mode

enabled using devlink param commands.

ignore_ari - If enabled, device ignores ARI(Alternate Routing ID)
capability, even when platforms has the support and creates same number
of partitions when platform does not support ARI capability.

[PATCH v3 net-next 6/9] bnxt_en: Use msix_vec_per_pf_max and msix_vec_per_pf_min devlink params.

[Vasundhara Volam]

This patch adds support for following generic permanent mode
devlink parameters. They can be modified using devlink param
commands.

msix_vec_per_pf_max - This param sets the number of MSIX vectors
that the device requests from the host on driver initialization.
This value is set in the device which limits MSIX vectors per PF.

msix_vec_per_pf_min - This param sets the number of minimal MSIX
vectors required for the device initialization. Value 0 indicates
a default value is selected. This value is set in the device which
limits MSIX vectors per PF.

[PATCH v3 net-next 7/9] bnxt_en: Add a driver specific gre_ver_check devlink parameter.

[Vasundhara Volam]

This patch adds following driver-specific permanent mode boolean
parameter.

gre_ver_check - Generic Routing Encapsulation(GRE) version check
will be enabled in the device. If disabled, device skips version
checking for GRE packets.

+Devlink configuration parameters
+================================
+Following is the list of configuration parameters via devlink interface.
+Each parameter can be generic or driver specific and are device level
+parameters.
+
+Note that the driver-specific files should contain the generic params
+they support to, with supported config modes.
+
+Each parameter can be set in different configuration modes:
+	runtime		- set while driver is running, no reset required.
+	driverinit	- applied while driver initializes, requires restart
+			driver by devlink reload command.
+	permanent	- written to device's non-volatile memory, hard reset
+			required.
+
+Following is the list of parameters:
+====================================
+enable_sriov		[DEVICE, GENERIC]
+			Enable Single Root I/O Virtualisation (SRIOV) in
+			the device.
+			Type: Boolean
+
+ignore_ari		[DEVICE, GENERIC]
+			Ignore Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI)
+			capability. If enabled, adapter will ignore ARI
+			capability even when platforms has the support
+			enabled and creates same number of partitions when
+			platform does not support ARI.
+			Type: Boolean
+
+msix_vec_per_pf_max	[DEVICE, GENERIC]
+			Provides the maximum number of MSIX interrupts that
+			a device can create. Value is same across all
+			physical functions (PFs) in the device.
+			Type: u32
+
+msix_vec_per_pf_min	[DEVICE, GENERIC]
+			Provides the minimum number of MSIX interrupts required
+			for the device initialization. Value is same across all
+			physical functions (PFs) in the device.
+			Type: u32

No need to list "Type" here. You have it in devlink-params.txt for
generic params already.

what is this (on/off for TC offloads?) and how it's related to ARI?

Ok, I thought type will give clarity when configuration mode is listed and
when user checks out only driver specific readme file.
I can remove it in next version of patchset.

In some Dell platforms, we don't want our adapter to create more number of
functions even when ARI is enabled.

Yes please. The thing is, once this info is on 2 places, I'm pretty sure
what eventually there would be different types on different places.
Leaving the type only on one place reduces need for sync.
