[PATCH net-next V2 0/7] devlink: add per-port resource support

[Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com>]

Hi,

This series adds devlink per-port resource support.
See detailed description by Or below [1].

Regards,
Tariq

Currently, devlink resources are only available at the device level.
However, some resources are inherently per-port, such as the maximum
number of subfunctions (SFs) that can be created on a specific PF port.
This limitation prevents user space from obtaining accurate per-port
capacity information.
This series adds infrastructure for per-port resources in devlink core
and implements it in the mlx5 driver to expose the max_SFs resource on
PF devlink ports.

Patch #1 refactors resource functions to be generic
Patch #2 adds port-level resource registration functions
Patch #3 adds port resource netlink command
Patch #4 registers SF resource on PF port representor in mlx5
Patch #5 adds port resource registration to netdevsim for testing
Patch #6 adds selftest for devlink port resources
Patch #7 adds documentation for port-level resources

With this series (and upcoming userspace patches), users can query
per-port resources:

$ devlink port resource show pci/0000:03:00.0/196608
pci/0000:03:00.0/196608:
  name max_SFs size 20 unit entry

$ devlink port resource show
pci/0000:03:00.0/196608:
  name max_SFs size 20 unit entry
pci/0000:03:00.1/262144:
  name max_SFs size 20 unit entry

Userspace patches for iproute2:
https://github.com/ohartoov/iproute2/tree/port_resource

V2:
- Skip selftest on old userspace that doesn't have the devlink
  port resource command.
- Add link to the userspace patch.
- Rename internal helper functions to follow kernel __ prefix
  convention.
- Split first patch into three logical commits.
- Change names with "res" to "resource".
- Change netdevsim test resource to be generic and not with max_sfs.
- Change "max_sfs" to "max_SFs" in documentation file.
