[PATCH net-next 0/4] net/mlx5: Refactor devcom and add net namespace support

[Tariq Toukan]

Hi,

This series by Shay improves the mlx5 devcom infrastructure by
introducing a structured matching attribute interface, relocating
certain devcom registration flows to more appropriate locations, and
adding net namespace awareness to the devcom framework and its users.

Patch 1: Refactors the devcom interface to accept a match attribute
structure instead of raw keys, enabling future extensibility such as
namespace-based matching.

Patch 2: Moves the devcom registration for HCA components from the core
code to the LAG layer to better reflect their logical ownership and
lifecycle.

Patch 3: Adds net namespace support to the devcom framework, enabling
components to operate in isolated namespaces.

Patch 4: Updates the LAG layer to make use of the new namespace-aware
devcom interface and improves reload behavior in LAG mode.

Regards,
Tariq

[PATCH net-next 1/4] net/mlx5: Refactor devcom to use match attributes

[Tariq Toukan]

From: Shay Drory <shayd@nvidia.com>

Refactor the devcom interface to use a match attribute structure instead
of passing raw keys. This change lays the groundwork for extending devcom
matching logic with additional fields like net namespace, improving its
flexibility and robustness.

No functional changes.

Because you are changing mlx5_devcom_register_component() signature
anyway, please do one step more and make sure that mlx5_devcom_register_component()
returns or NULL or successful devcom pointer. The thing is that devcom
pointer has error code which is stored for whole lifetime of the driver
is causing issues in mlx5_ib IPsec cleanup for multi-port devices.

Thanks

[PATCH net-next 2/4] net/mlx5: Lag, move devcom registration to LAG layer

[Tariq Toukan]

From: Shay Drory <shayd@nvidia.com>

Move the devcom registration for the HCA_PORTS component from the core
initialization path into the LAG logic. This better reflects the
logical ownership of this component and ensures proper alignment with
the LAG lifecycle.

[PATCH net-next 3/4] net/mlx5: Add net namespace support to devcom

[Tariq Toukan]

From: Shay Drory <shayd@nvidia.com>

Extend the devcom framework to support namespace-aware components.

The existing devcom matching logic was based solely on numeric keys,
limiting its use to the global (init_net) scope or requiring clients
to ignore namespaces altogether, both of which are incorrect in
multi-namespace environments.

This patch introduces namespace support by allowing devcom clients to
provide a namespace match attribute. The devcom pairing mechanism is
updated to compare the namespace, enabling proper isolation and
interaction of components across different net namespaces.

With this change, components that require namespace aware pairing,
such as SD groups or LAG, can now work correctly in multi-namespace
scenarios. In particular, this opens the way to support hardware LAG
within a net namespace.

I've reviewed this with the assumptions that; mlx5_core_net() returns the
devlink net namespace, and; that the devlink net namespace is fixed.

With those assumptions, this looks good to me.

[PATCH net-next 4/4] net/mlx5: Lag, add net namespace support

[Tariq Toukan]

From: Shay Drory <shayd@nvidia.com>

Update the LAG implementation to support net namespace isolation.

With recent changes to the devcom framework allowing namespace-aware
matching, the LAG layer is updated to register devcom clients with the
associated net namespace. This ensures that LAG formation only occurs
between mlx5 interfaces that reside in the same namespace.

This change ensures that devices in different namespaces do not interfere
with each other's LAG setup and behavior. For example, if two PCI PFs are
in the same namespace, they are eligible to form a hardware LAG.

In addition, reload behavior for LAG is adjusted to handle namespace
contexts appropriately.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious. But I think this could do with

While one could split this into two patches, first enabling LAG creation
within a namespace, then separately removing the devlink reload restriction
that separation feels artificial.

Both changes are required to deliver complete support for LAG in namespaces
Since removing the reload restriction is a trivial change, it is better
to deliver the entire feature in this single patch.

Will clarify and add this justification to the commit message.

I prefer to avoid vertical alignment. I find that style
is often brittle and makes the code harder to maintain
over time.
