Subject: [PATCH net-next 01/10] devlink: expose devlink instance index over netlink
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 15:55:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223145557.248679-2-jiri@resnulli.us> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260223145557.248679-1-jiri@resnulli.us>
From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>
Each devlink instance has an internally assigned index used for xarray
storage. Expose it as a new DEVLINK_ATTR_INDEX uint attribute alongside
the existing bus_name and dev_name handle.
Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>
