[iproute2-next PATCH 0/3] devlink: support dry run attribute for flash update

[Jacob Keller]

Allow users to request a dry run of a flash update by adding the
DEVLINK_ATTR_DRY_RUN.

Because many devlink commands do not validate and reject unknown attributes,
this could have unexpected side effects on older kernels which lack the
attribute. To handle this, check the socket and determine the maximum
attribute the kernel supports. Only allow passing the DEVLINK_ATTR_DRY_RUN
for kernels which have the attribute.

This allows a user to validate that a flash update will be accepted by the
driver and device without being forced to commit to updating.

[iproute2-next PATCH 2/3] mnlg: add function to get CTRL_ATTR_MAXATTR value

[Jacob Keller]

Add a new function to extract the CTRL_ATTR_MAXATTR attribute of the
CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY request. This will be used to allow reading the
maximum supported devlink attribute of the running kernel in an upcoming
change.

[iproute2-next PATCH 3/3] devlink: add dry run attribute support to devlink flash

[Jacob Keller]

Recent versions of the kernel support the DEVLINK_ATTR_DRY_RUN attribute
which allows requesting a dry run of a command. A dry run is simply
a request to validate that a command would work, without performing any
destructive changes.

The attribute is supported by the devlink flash update as a way to
validate an update, including potentially the binary image, without
modifying the device.

Add a "dry_run" option to the command line parsing which will enable
this attribute when requested.

To avoid potential issues, only allow the attribute to be added to
commands when the kernel recognizes it. This is important because some
commands do not perform strict validation. If we were to add the
attribute without this check, an old kernel may silently accept the
command and perform an update even when dry_run was requested.

Before adding the attribute, check the maximum attribute from the
CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY and make sure that the kernel recognizes the
DEVLINK_ATTR_DRY_RUN attribute.

This looks like it would be handy for other attrs too. Could you make
this a generic helper accepting attr type as function argument?
