.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.SS devlink dev show - display devlink device attributes

.PP
.I "DEV"
- specifies the devlink device to show.
If this argument is omitted all devices are listed.

.in +4
Format is:
.in +2
BUS_NAME/BUS_ADDRESS

.SS devlink dev eswitch show - display devlink device eswitch attributes
.SS devlink dev eswitch set  - sets devlink device eswitch attributes

.TP
.BR mode " { " legacy " | " switchdev " } "
Set eswitch mode

.I legacy
- Legacy SRIOV

.I switchdev
- SRIOV switchdev offloads

.TP
.BR inline-mode " { " none " | " link " | " network " | " transport " } "
Some HWs need the VF driver to put part of the packet headers on the TX descriptor so the e-switch can do proper matching and steering.

.I none
- None

.I link
- L2 mode

.I network
- L3 mode

.I transport
- L4 mode

.TP
.BR encap-mode " { " none " | " basic " } "
Set eswitch encapsulation support

.I none
- Disable encapsulation support

.I basic
- Enable encapsulation support

.SS devlink dev param set  - set new value to devlink device configuration parameter

.TP
.BI name " PARAMETER"
Specify parameter name to set.

.TP
.BI value " VALUE"
New value to set.

.TP
.BR cmode " { " runtime " | " driverinit " | " permanent " } "
Configuration mode in which the new value is set.

.I runtime
- Set new value while driver is running. This configuration mode doesn't require any reset to apply the new value.

.I driverinit
- Set new value which will be applied during driver initialization. This configuration mode requires restart driver by devlink reload command to apply the new value.

.I permanent
- New value is written to device's non-volatile memory. This configuration mode requires hard reset to apply the new value.

.SS devlink dev param show - display devlink device supported configuration parameters attributes

.B name
.I PARAMETER
Specify parameter name to show.
If this argument is omitted all parameters supported by devlink devices are listed.

.SS devlink dev reload - perform hot reload of the driver.

.PP
.I "DEV"
- Specifies the devlink device to reload.

.B netns
.RI { " PID " | " NAME " | " ID " }
- Specifies the network namespace to reload into, either by pid, name or id.

.BR action " { " driver_reinit " | " fw_activate " }"
- Specifies the reload action required.
If this argument is omitted
.I driver_reinit
action will be used.
Note that even though user asks for a specific action, the driver implementation
might require to perform another action alongside with it. For example, some
driver do not support driver reinitialization being performed without fw
activation. Therefore, the devlink reload command returns the list of actions
which were actrually performed.

.I driver_reinit
- Driver entities re-initialization, applying devlink-param and
devlink-resource values.

.I fw_activate
- Activates new firmware if such image is stored and pending activation. If no
limitation specified this action may involve firmware reset. If no new image
pending this action will reload current firmware image.

.B limit no_reset
- Specifies limitation on reload action.
If this argument is omitted limit is unspecified and the reload action is not
limited. In such case driver implementation may include reset or downtime as
needed to perform the actions.

.I no_reset
- No reset allowed, no down time allowed, no link flap and no configuration is
lost.

.SS devlink dev info - display device information.
Display device information provided by the driver. This command can be used
to query versions of the hardware components or device components which
can't be updated (
.I fixed
) as well as device firmware which can be updated. For firmware components
.I running
displays the versions of firmware currently loaded into the device, while
.I stored
reports the versions in device's flash.
.I Running
and
.I stored
versions may differ after flash has been updated, but before reboot.

.PP
.I "DEV"
- specifies the devlink device to show.
If this argument is omitted all devices are listed.

.SS devlink dev flash - write device's non-volatile memory.

.PP
.I "DEV"
- specifies the devlink device to write to.

.B file
.I PATH
- Path to the file which will be written into device's flash. The path needs
to be relative to one of the directories searched by the kernel firmware loader,
such as /lib/firmware.

.B component
.I NAME
- If device stores multiple firmware images in non-volatile memory, this
parameter may be used to indicate which firmware image should be written.
The value of
.I NAME
should match the component names from
.B "devlink dev info"
and may be driver-dependent.

.SS devlink dev selftests show - shows supported selftests on devlink device.

.PP
.I "DEV"
- specifies the devlink device.
If this argument is omitted all selftests for devlink devices are listed.

.SS devlink dev selftests run - runs selftests on devlink device.

.PP
.I "DEV"
- specifies the devlink device to execute selftests.

.B id
.I  ID...
- The value of
.I ID(s)
should match the selftests shown in
.B "devlink dev selftests show"
to execute selftests on the devlink device.
If this argument is omitted all selftests supported by devlink devices are executed.
