From bfcd3a46617209454cfc0947ab093e37fd1e84ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Pirko Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 17:32:23 +0100 Subject: Introduce devlink infrastructure Introduce devlink infrastructure for drivers to register and expose to userspace via generic Netlink interface. There are two basic objects defined: devlink - one instance for every "parent device", for example switch ASIC devlink port - one instance for every physical port of the device. This initial portion implements basic get/dump of objects to userspace. Also, port splitter and port type setting is implemented. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
