Hi,
This series by Or adds devlink per-port resource support.
See detailed description by Or below [1].
Regards,
Tariq
[1]
Currently, devlink resources are only available at the device level.
However, some resources are inherently per-port, such as the maximum
number of subfunctions (SFs) that can be created on a specific PF port.
This limitation prevents user space from obtaining accurate per-port
capacity information.
This series adds infrastructure for per-port resources in devlink core
and implements it in the mlx5 driver to expose the max_SFs resource
on PF devlink ports.
Patch #1 refactors resource functions to be generic
Patch #2 adds port-level resource registration infrastructure
Patch #3 registers SF resource on PF port representor in mlx5
Patch #4 adds devlink port resource registration to netdevsim for testing
Patch #5 adds dump support for device-level resources
Patch #6 includes port resources in the resource dump dumpit path
Patch #7 adds port-specific option to resource dump doit path
Patch #8 adds selftest for devlink port resource doit
Patch #9 documents port-level resources and full dump
Patch #10 adds resource scope filtering to resource dump
Patch #11 adds selftest for resource dump and scope filter
Patch #12 documents resource scope filtering

V5:
- Link to V4:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260401184947.135205-1-tariqt@nvidia.com/
- Change resource scope attribute from bitmask to u32
- Remove max value and valid mask define for scope attribute
- Handle the case where a device is unregistered or a port is removed
in the middle of a multi-callback dump (Sashiko's comment)
- Replace port_number with port_index and add an index_valid bool to
the dump state to track the port resources phase of the dump
(Sashiko's comment)
