Subject: [PATCH net-next v9 1/5] net: dsa: add devlink flash_update callback to dsa_switch_ops
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 04:51:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ed55b3d67436c32fdb01dca8db759b24a6834d4c.1785728574.git.daniel@makrotopia.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1785728574.git.daniel@makrotopia.org>
Add a devlink_flash_update callback to dsa_switch_ops so that DSA
drivers can support devlink dev flash without open-coding the devlink
plumbing. Like the other trampolines in net/dsa/devlink.c, the op
returns -EOPNOTSUPP when the driver does not implement the callback;
the devlink core will then have fetched the firmware file from
userspace before the request fails, which is acceptable for an
operation as infrequent as a firmware update.
The devlink core calls the op with the devlink instance lock held and
without rtnl_lock, whereas DSA serialises its switch and port ops
under rtnl_lock, so a driver has to serialise a flash against its own
ops itself.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>

v9: install the flash_update op unconditionally and return -EOPNOTSUPP
from the trampoline like the other DSA devlink trampolines,
instead of a second devlink_ops permutation (Andrew Lunn)
v8:
- retitled: this patch adds the callback, its first user is patch 3
- describe the op's calling context in the commit message
v7: no changes
v6: no changes
v5: no changes
v4: only install the flash_update op for drivers implementing the
callback so the devlink core keeps rejecting unsupported flash
requests before fetching the firmware file
v3: no changes
v2: align continuation lines with the open parenthesis
