Merge branch 'phys_port'
Jiri Pirko says: ==================== This patchset is based on patch by Narendra_K@Dell.com Once device which can change phys port id during its lifetime adopts this, NETDEV_CHANGEPHYSPORTID event will be added and driver will call call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_NETDEV_CHANGEPHYSPORTID, dev) to propagate the change to userspace. v1->v2: as suggested by Ben, handle -EOPNOTSUPP in rtnl code (wrapped up ndo call) v2->v3: adjusted patch 1 commit message v3->v4: used "%phN" for sysfs printf as suggested by DaveM added igb/igbvf implementation as requested by Or Gerlitz v4->v5: used prandom_u32 to generate id in igb_probe removed duplicate code in ibgvf_probe pushed dev_err string into one line in igbvf_refresh_ppid v5->v6: use uuid_le_gen for generating 16-byte phys port id for igb/igbvf as suggested by BenH 1) Why do we need this, and why do existing facilities fail to provide a way to accomplish this? Currenty there's very hard to tell if two netdevs are using the same physical port. For sr-iov this can be get by sysfs. For other mechanisms, like NPAR there's very hard to do it (one must learn it from NIC BIOS). But even for sr-iov there's no way to say if two netdevs are using the same phys port when these are passed through to virtual guests. This patchset provides the generic way of letting this information know to userspace. This info can be used by apps like NetworkManager, teamd, Wicked, ovs daemon, etc, to do smarter bonding decisions. 2) Why is the physical port ID defined as a 32 byte opaque cookie? What formats and layouts need to be accomodated, and which influenced the design of the ID? For user to distinguish if two netdevs are using the same port, he only needs to compare their phys port ids. Nothing else is needed. This id has no structure for security reasons. VF should not know anything about PF. 3) Are IDs globally unique? Why or why not? If IDs should be globally unique, but only in certain cases, what exactly are those cases. Most of the time only uniqueness needed is in scope of single machine. There might be case when the id should be unique between couple of machines in virtualization environment. Given that for example for igb/igbvf 16B uuid is used, there is no problem for this case as well. But each driver can implement this differently focusing the hw capabilities and needs. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
