This patchset implements devlink port add, delete and function state
management commands.
An example sequence for a PCI SF:
Set the device in switchdev mode:
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev
View ports in switchdev mode:
$ devlink port show
pci/0000:06:00.0/65535: type eth netdev ens2f0np0 flavour physical port 0 s=
plittable false
Add a subfunction port for PCI PF 0 with sfnumber 88:
$ devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88
pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type eth netdev eth6 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfn=
um 0 sfnum 88 splittable false
function:
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached
Show a newly added port:
$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/32768
pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev ens2f0npf0sf88 flavour pcisf contro=
ller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 splittable false
function:
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached
Set the function state to active:
$ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/32768 hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:8=
8 state active
Show the port in JSON format:
$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/32768 -jp
{
"port": {
"pci/0000:06:00.0/32768": {
"type": "eth",
"netdev": "ens2f0npf0sf88",
"flavour": "pcisf",
"controller": 0,
"pfnum": 0,
"sfnum": 88,
"splittable": false,
"function": {
"hw_addr": "00:00:00:00:88:88",
"state": "active",
"opstate": "attached"
}
}
}
}
Set the function state to active:
$ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/32768 state inactive
Delete the port after use:
$ devlink port del pci/0000:06:00.0/32768
