+Devlink DPIPE
+=============
+
+Background
+==========
+
+While performing the hardware offloading process, much of the hardware
+specifics cannot be presented. These details are useful for debugging, and
+``devlink-dpipe`` provides a standardized way to provide visibility into the
+offloading process.
+
+For example, the routing longest prefix match (LPM) algorithm used by the
+Linux kernel may differ from the hardware implementation. The pipeline debug
+API (DPIPE) is aimed at providing the user visibility into the ASIC's
+pipeline in a generic way.
+
+The hardware offload process is expected to be done in a way that the user
+should not be able to distinguish between the hardware vs. software
+implementation. In this process, hardware specifics are neglected. In
+reality those details can have lots of meaning and should be exposed in some
+standard way.
+
+This problem is made even more complex when one wishes to offload the
+control path of the whole networking stack to a switch ASIC. Due to
+differences in the hardware and software models some processes cannot be
+represented correctly.
+
+One example is the kernel's LPM algorithm which in many cases differs
+greatly to the hardware implementation. The configuration API is the same,
+but one cannot rely on the Forward Information Base (FIB) to look like the
+Level Path Compression trie (LPC-trie) in hardware.
+
+In many situations trying to analyze systems failure solely based on the
+kernel's dump may not be enough. By combining this data with complementary
+information about the underlying hardware, this debugging can be made
+easier; additionally, the information can be useful when debugging
+performance issues.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The ``devlink-dpipe`` interface closes this gap. The hardware's pipeline is
+modeled as a graph of match/action tables. Each table represents a specific
+hardware block. This model is not new, first being used by the P4 language.
+
+Traditionally it has been used as an alternative model for hardware
+configuration, but the ``devlink-dpipe`` interface uses it for visibility
+purposes as a standard complementary tool. The system's view from
+``devlink-dpipe`` should change according to the changes done by the
+standard configuration tools.
+
+For example, it’s quite common to implement Access Control Lists (ACL)
+using Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM). The TCAM memory can be
+divided into TCAM regions. Complex TC filters can have multiple rules with
+different priorities and different lookup keys. On the other hand hardware
+TCAM regions have a predefined lookup key. Offloading the TC filter rules
+using TCAM engine can result in multiple TCAM regions being interconnected
+in a chain (which may affect the data path latency). In response to a new TC
+filter new tables should be created describing those regions.
+
+Model
+=====
+
+The ``DPIPE`` model introduces several objects:
+
+ * headers
+ * tables
+ * entries
+
+A ``header`` describes packet formats and provides names for fields within
+the packet. A ``table`` describes hardware blocks. An ``entry`` describes
+the actual content of a specific table.
+
+The hardware pipeline is not port specific, but rather describes the whole
+ASIC. Thus it is tied to the top of the ``devlink`` infrastructure.
+
+Drivers can register and unregister tables at run time, in order to support
+dynamic behavior. This dynamic behavior is mandatory for describing hardware
+blocks like TCAM regions which can be allocated and freed dynamically.
+
+``devlink-dpipe`` generally is not intended for configuration. The exception
+is hardware counting for a specific table.
+
+The following commands are used to obtain the ``dpipe`` objects from
+userspace:
+
+ * ``table_get``: Receive a table's description.
+ * ``headers_get``: Receive a device's supported headers.
+ * ``entries_get``: Receive a table's current entries.
+ * ``counters_set``: Enable or disable counters on a table.
+
+Table
+-----
+
+The driver should implement the following operations for each table:
+
+ * ``matches_dump``: Dump the supported matches.
+ * ``actions_dump``: Dump the supported actions.
+ * ``entries_dump``: Dump the actual content of the table.
+ * ``counters_set_update``: Synchronize hardware with counters enabled or
+ disabled.
+
+Header/Field
+------------
+
+In a similar way to P4 headers and fields are used to describe a table's
+behavior. There is a slight difference between the standard protocol headers
+and specific ASIC metadata. The protocol headers should be declared in the
+``devlink`` core API. On the other hand ASIC meta data is driver specific
+and should be defined in the driver. Additionally, each driver-specific
+devlink documentation file should document the driver-specific ``dpipe``
+headers it implements. The headers and fields are identified by enumeration.
+
+In order to provide further visibility some ASIC metadata fields could be
+mapped to kernel objects. For example, internal router interface indexes can
+be directly mapped to the net device ifindex. FIB table indexes used by
+different Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) tables can be mapped to
+internal routing table indexes.
+
+Match
+-----
+
+Matches are kept primitive and close to hardware operation. Match types like
+LPM are not supported due to the fact that this is exactly a process we wish
+to describe in full detail. Example of matches:
+
+ * ``field_exact``: Exact match on a specific field.
+ * ``field_exact_mask``: Exact match on a specific field after masking.
+ * ``field_range``: Match on a specific range.
+
+The id's of the header and the field should be specified in order to
+identify the specific field. Furthermore, the header index should be
+specified in order to distinguish multiple headers of the same type in a
+packet (tunneling).
+
+Action
+------
+
+Similar to match, the actions are kept primitive and close to hardware
+operation. For example:
+
+ * ``field_modify``: Modify the field value.
+ * ``field_inc``: Increment the field value.
+ * ``push_header``: Add a header.
+ * ``pop_header``: Remove a header.
+
+Entry
+-----
+
+Entries of a specific table can be dumped on demand. Each eentry is
+identified with an index and its properties are described by a list of
+match/action values and specific counter. By dumping the tables content the
+interactions between tables can be resolved.
+
+Abstraction Example
+===================
+
+The following is an example of the abstraction model of the L3 part of
+Mellanox Spectrum ASIC. The blocks are described in the order they appear in
+the pipeline. The table sizes in the following examples are not real
+hardware sizes and are provided for demonstration purposes.
+
+LPM
+---
+
+The LPM algorithm can be implemented as a list of hash tables. Each hash
+table contains routes with the same prefix length. The root of the list is
+/32, and in case of a miss the hardware will continue to the next hash
+table. The depth of the search will affect the data path latency.
+
+In case of a hit the entry contains information about the next stage of the
+pipeline which resolves the MAC address. The next stage can be either local
+host table for directly connected routes, or adjacency table for next-hops.
+The ``meta.lpm_prefix`` field is used to connect two LPM tables.
+
+.. code::
+
+ table lpm_prefix_16 {
+ size: 4096,
+ counters_enabled: true,
+ match: { meta.vr_id: exact,
+ ipv4.dst_addr: exact_mask,
+ ipv6.dst_addr: exact_mask,
+ meta.lpm_prefix: exact },
+ action: { meta.adj_index: set,
+ meta.adj_group_size: set,
+ meta.rif_port: set,
+ meta.lpm_prefix: set },
+ }
+
+Local Host
+----------
+
+In the case of local routes the LPM lookup already resolves the egress
+router interface (RIF), yet the exact MAC address is not known. The local
+host table is a hash table combining the output interface id with
+destination IP address as a key. The result is the MAC address.
+
+.. code::
+
+ table local_host {
+ size: 4096,
+ counters_enabled: true,
+ match: { meta.rif_port: exact,
+ ipv4.dst_addr: exact},
+ action: { ethernet.daddr: set }
+ }
+
+Adjacency
+---------
+
+In case of remote routes this table does the ECMP. The LPM lookup results in
+ECMP group size and index that serves as a global offset into this table.
+Concurrently a hash of the packet is generated. Based on the ECMP group size
+and the packet's hash a local offset is generated. Multiple LPM entries can
+point to the same adjacency group.
+
+.. code::
+
+ table adjacency {
+ size: 4096,
+ counters_enabled: true,
+ match: { meta.adj_index: exact,
+ meta.adj_group_size: exact,
+ meta.packet_hash_index: exact },
+ action: { ethernet.daddr: set,
+ meta.erif: set }
+ }
+
+ERIF
+----
+
+In case the egress RIF and destination MAC have been resolved by previous
+tables this table does multiple operations like TTL decrease and MTU check.
+Then the decision of forward/drop is taken and the port L3 statistics are
+updated based on the packet's type (broadcast, unicast, multicast).
+
+.. code::
+
+ table erif {
+ size: 800,
+ counters_enabled: true,
+ match: { meta.rif_port: exact,
+ meta.is_l3_unicast: exact,
+ meta.is_l3_broadcast: exact,
+ meta.is_l3_multicast, exact },
+ action: { meta.l3_drop: set,
+ meta.l3_forward: set }
+ }

+Devlink Flash
+=============
+
+The ``devlink-flash`` API allows updating device firmware. It replaces the
+older ``ethtool-flash`` mechanism, and doesn't require taking any
+networking locks in the kernel to perform the flash update. Example use::
+
+ $ devlink dev flash pci/0000:05:00.0 file flash-boot.bin
+
+Note that the file name is a path relative to the firmware loading path
+(usually ``/lib/firmware/``). Drivers may send status updates to inform
+user space about the progress of the update operation.
+
+Overwrite Mask
+==============
+
+The ``devlink-flash`` command allows optionally specifying a mask indicating
+how the device should handle subsections of flash components when updating.
+This mask indicates the set of sections which are allowed to be overwritten.
+
+.. list-table:: List of overwrite mask bits
+ :widths: 5 95
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS``
+ - Indicates that the device should overwrite settings in the components
+ being updated with the settings found in the provided image.
+ * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS``
+ - Indicates that the device should overwrite identifiers in the
+ components being updated with the identifiers found in the provided
+ image. This includes MAC addresses, serial IDs, and similar device
+ identifiers.
+
+Multiple overwrite bits may be combined and requested together. If no bits
+are provided, it is expected that the device only update firmware binaries
+in the components being updated. Settings and identifiers are expected to be
+preserved across the update. A device may not support every combination and
+the driver for such a device must reject any combination which cannot be
+faithfully implemented.
+
+Firmware Loading
+================
+
+Devices which require firmware to operate usually store it in non-volatile
+memory on the board, e.g. flash. Some devices store only basic firmware on
+the board, and the driver loads the rest from disk during probing.
+``devlink-info`` allows users to query firmware information (loaded
+components and versions).
+
+In other cases the device can both store the image on the board, load from
+disk, or automatically flash a new image from disk. The ``fw_load_policy``
+devlink parameter can be used to control this behavior
+(:ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-params.rst <devlink_params_generic>`).
+
+On-disk firmware files are usually stored in ``/lib/firmware/``.
+
+Firmware Version Management
+===========================
+
+Drivers are expected to implement ``devlink-flash`` and ``devlink-info``
+functionality, which together allow for implementing vendor-independent
+automated firmware update facilities.
+
+``devlink-info`` exposes the ``driver`` name and three version groups
+(``fixed``, ``running``, ``stored``).
+
+The ``driver`` attribute and ``fixed`` group identify the specific device
+design, e.g. for looking up applicable firmware updates. This is why
+``serial_number`` is not part of the ``fixed`` versions (even though it
+is fixed) - ``fixed`` versions should identify the design, not a single
+device.
+
+``running`` and ``stored`` firmware versions identify the firmware running
+on the device, and firmware which will be activated after reboot or device
+reset.
+
+The firmware update agent is supposed to be able to follow this simple
+algorithm to update firmware contents, regardless of the device vendor:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ # Get unique HW design identifier
+ $hw_id = devlink-dev-info['fixed']
+
+ # Find out which FW flash we want to use for this NIC
+ $want_flash_vers = some-db-backed.lookup($hw_id, 'flash')
+
+ # Update flash if necessary
+ if $want_flash_vers != devlink-dev-info['stored']:
+ $file = some-db-backed.download($hw_id, 'flash')
+ devlink-dev-flash($file)
+
+ # Find out the expected overall firmware versions
+ $want_fw_vers = some-db-backed.lookup($hw_id, 'all')
+
+ # Update on-disk file if necessary
+ if $want_fw_vers != devlink-dev-info['running']:
+ $file = some-db-backed.download($hw_id, 'disk')
+ write($file, '/lib/firmware/')
+
+ # Try device reset, if available
+ if $want_fw_vers != devlink-dev-info['running']:
+ devlink-reset()
+
+ # Reboot, if reset wasn't enough
+ if $want_fw_vers != devlink-dev-info['running']:
+ reboot()
+
+Note that each reference to ``devlink-dev-info`` in this pseudo-code
+is expected to fetch up-to-date information from the kernel.
+
+For the convenience of identifying firmware files some vendors add
+``bundle_id`` information to the firmware versions. This meta-version covers
+multiple per-component versions and can be used e.g. in firmware file names
+(all component versions could get rather long.)

+Devlink Health
+==============
+
+Background
+==========
+
+The ``devlink`` health mechanism is targeted for Real Time Alerting, in
+order to know when something bad happened to a PCI device.
+
+ * Provide alert debug information.
+ * Self healing.
+ * If problem needs vendor support, provide a way to gather all needed
+ debugging information.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The main idea is to unify and centralize driver health reports in the
+generic ``devlink`` instance and allow the user to set different
+attributes of the health reporting and recovery procedures.
+
+The ``devlink`` health reporter:
+Device driver creates a "health reporter" per each error/health type.
+Error/Health type can be a known/generic (e.g. PCI error, fw error, rx/tx error)
+or unknown (driver specific).
+For each registered health reporter a driver can issue error/health reports
+asynchronously. All health reports handling is done by ``devlink``.
+Device driver can provide specific callbacks for each "health reporter", e.g.:
+
+ * Recovery procedures
+ * Diagnostics procedures
+ * Object dump procedures
+ * OOB initial parameters
+
+Different parts of the driver can register different types of health reporters
+with different handlers.
+
+Actions
+=======
+
+Once an error is reported, devlink health will perform the following actions:
+
+ * A log is being send to the kernel trace events buffer
+ * Health status and statistics are being updated for the reporter instance
+ * Object dump is being taken and saved at the reporter instance (as long as
+ there is no other dump which is already stored)
+ * Auto recovery attempt is being done. Depends on:
+
+ - Auto-recovery configuration
+ - Grace period vs. time passed since last recover
+
+User Interface
+==============
+
+User can access/change each reporter's parameters and driver specific callbacks
+via ``devlink``, e.g per error type (per health reporter):
+
+ * Configure reporter's generic parameters (like: disable/enable auto recovery)
+ * Invoke recovery procedure
+ * Run diagnostics
+ * Object dump

+Devlink Info
+============
+
+The ``devlink-info`` mechanism enables device drivers to report device
+(hardware and firmware) information in a standard, extensible fashion.
+
+The original motivation for the ``devlink-info`` API was twofold:
+
+ - making it possible to automate device and firmware management in a fleet
+ of machines in a vendor-independent fashion (see also
+ :ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-flash.rst <devlink_flash>`);
+ - name the per component FW versions (as opposed to the crowded ethtool
+ version string).
+
+``devlink-info`` supports reporting multiple types of objects. Reporting driver
+versions is generally discouraged - here, and via any other Linux API.
+
+.. list-table:: List of top level info objects
+ :widths: 5 95
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``driver``
+ - Name of the currently used device driver, also available through sysfs.
+
+ * - ``serial_number``
+ - Serial number of the device.
+
+ This is usually the serial number of the ASIC, also often available
+ in PCI config space of the device in the *Device Serial Number*
+ capability.
+
+ The serial number should be unique per physical device.
+ Sometimes the serial number of the device is only 48 bits long (the
+ length of the Ethernet MAC address), and since PCI DSN is 64 bits long
+ devices pad or encode additional information into the serial number.
+ One example is adding port ID or PCI interface ID in the extra two bytes.
+ Drivers should make sure to strip or normalize any such padding
+ or interface ID, and report only the part of the serial number
+ which uniquely identifies the hardware. In other words serial number
+ reported for two ports of the same device or on two hosts of
+ a multi-host device should be identical.
+
+ * - ``board.serial_number``
+ - Board serial number of the device.
+
+ This is usually the serial number of the board, often available in
+ PCI *Vital Product Data*.
+
+ * - ``fixed``
+ - Group for hardware identifiers, and versions of components
+ which are not field-updatable.

+ Versions in this section identify the device design. For example,
+ component identifiers or the board version reported in the PCI VPD.
+ Data in ``devlink-info`` should be broken into the smallest logical
+ components, e.g. PCI VPD may concatenate various information
+ to form the Part Number string, while in ``devlink-info`` all parts
+ should be reported as separate items.
+
+ This group must not contain any frequently changing identifiers,
+ such as serial numbers. See
+ :ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-flash.rst <devlink_flash>`
+ to understand why.
+
+ * - ``running``
+ - Group for information about currently running software/firmware.
+ These versions often only update after a reboot, sometimes device reset.
+
+ * - ``stored``
+ - Group for software/firmware versions in device flash.
+
+ Stored values must update to reflect changes in the flash even
+ if reboot has not yet occurred. If device is not capable of updating
+ ``stored`` versions when new software is flashed, it must not report
+ them.
+
+Each version can be reported at most once in each version group. Firmware
+components stored on the flash should feature in both the ``running`` and
+``stored`` sections, if device is capable of reporting ``stored`` versions
+(see :ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-flash.rst <devlink_flash>`).
+In case software/firmware components are loaded from the disk (e.g.
+``/lib/firmware``) only the running version should be reported via
+the kernel API.
+
+Generic Versions
+================
+
+It is expected that drivers use the following generic names for exporting
+version information. If a generic name for a given component doesn't exist yet,
+driver authors should consult existing driver-specific versions and attempt
+reuse. As last resort, if a component is truly unique, using driver-specific
+names is allowed, but these should be documented in the driver-specific file.
+
+All versions should try to use the following terminology:
+
+.. list-table:: List of common version suffixes
+ :widths: 10 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``id``, ``revision``
+ - Identifiers of designs and revision, mostly used for hardware versions.
+
+ * - ``api``
+ - Version of API between components. API items are usually of limited
+ value to the user, and can be inferred from other versions by the vendor,
+ so adding API versions is generally discouraged as noise.
+
+ * - ``bundle_id``
+ - Identifier of a distribution package which was flashed onto the device.
+ This is an attribute of a firmware package which covers multiple versions
+ for ease of managing firmware images (see
+ :ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-flash.rst <devlink_flash>`).
+
+ ``bundle_id`` can appear in both ``running`` and ``stored`` versions,
+ but it must not be reported if any of the components covered by the

+Future work
+===========
+
+The following extensions could be useful:
+
+ - on-disk firmware file names - drivers list the file names of firmware they
+ may need to load onto devices via the ``MODULE_FIRMWARE()`` macro. These,
+ however, are per module, rather than per device. It'd be useful to list

+Devlink Line card
+=================
+
+Background
+==========
+
+The ``devlink-linecard`` mechanism is targeted for manipulation of
+line cards that serve as a detachable PHY modules for modular switch
+system. Following operations are provided:
+
+ * Get a list of supported line card types.
+ * Provision of a slot with specific line card type.
+ * Get and monitor of line card state and its change.
+
+Line card according to the type may contain one or more gearboxes
+to mux the lanes with certain speed to multiple ports with lanes
+of different speed. Line card ensures N:M mapping between
+the switch ASIC modules and physical front panel ports.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+Each line card devlink object is created by device driver,
+according to the physical line card slots available on the device.
+
+Similar to splitter cable, where the device might have no way
+of detection of the splitter cable geometry, the device
+might not have a way to detect line card type. For that devices,
+concept of provisioning is introduced. It allows the user to:
+
+ * Provision a line card slot with certain line card type
+
+ - Device driver would instruct the ASIC to prepare all
+ resources accordingly. The device driver would
+ create all instances, namely devlink port and netdevices
+ that reside on the line card, according to the line card type
+ * Manipulate of line card entities even without line card
+ being physically connected or powered-up
+ * Setup splitter cable on line card ports
+
+ - As on the ordinary ports, user may provision a splitter
+ cable of a certain type, without the need to
+ be physically connected to the port
+ * Configure devlink ports and netdevices
+
+Netdevice carrier is decided as follows:
+
+ * Line card is not inserted or powered-down
+
+ - The carrier is always down
+ * Line card is inserted and powered up
+
+ - The carrier is decided as for ordinary port netdevice
+
+Line card state
+===============
+
+The ``devlink-linecard`` mechanism supports the following line card states:
+
+ * ``unprovisioned``: Line card is not provisioned on the slot.
+ * ``unprovisioning``: Line card slot is currently being unprovisioned.
+ * ``provisioning``: Line card slot is currently in a process of being provisioned
+ with a line card type.
+ * ``provisioning_failed``: Provisioning was not successful.
+ * ``provisioned``: Line card slot is provisioned with a type.
+ * ``active``: Line card is powered-up and active.
+
+The following diagram provides a general overview of ``devlink-linecard``
+state transitions::
+

+Devlink Params
+==============
+
+``devlink`` provides capability for a driver to expose device parameters for low
+level device functionality. Since devlink can operate at the device-wide
+level, it can be used to provide configuration that may affect multiple
+ports on a single device.
+
+This document describes a number of generic parameters that are supported
+across multiple drivers. Each driver is also free to add their own
+parameters. Each driver must document the specific parameters they support,
+whether generic or not.
+
+Configuration modes
+===================
+
+Parameters may be set in different configuration modes.
+
+.. list-table:: Possible configuration modes
+ :widths: 5 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``runtime``
+ - set while the driver is running, and takes effect immediately. No

+ * - ``driverinit``
+ - applied while the driver initializes. Requires the user to restart
+ the driver using the ``devlink`` reload command.
+ * - ``permanent``
+ - written to the device's non-volatile memory. A hard reset is required
+ for it to take effect.
+
+Reloading
+---------
+
+In order for ``driverinit`` parameters to take effect, the driver must
+support reloading via the ``devlink-reload`` command. This command will
+request a reload of the device driver.

+
+PCI controllers
+---------------
+In most cases a PCI device has only one controller. A controller consists of
+potentially multiple physical, virtual functions and subfunctions. A function
+consists of one or more ports. This port is represented by the devlink eswitch
+port.
+
+A PCI device connected to multiple CPUs or multiple PCI root complexes or a
+SmartNIC, however, may have multiple controllers. For a device with multiple
+controllers, each controller is distinguished by a unique controller number.
+An eswitch is on the PCI device which supports ports of multiple controllers.
+
+An example view of a system with two controllers::
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------

+ | --------- --------- ------- ------- |

+ ----------- | ------- ------- |
+ | |
+ | local controller_num=0 (eswitch) |
+ ---------------------------------------------------------
+
+In the above example, the external controller (identified by controller number = 1)
+doesn't have the eswitch. Local controller (identified by controller number = 0)
+has the eswitch. The Devlink instance on the local controller has eswitch
+devlink ports for both the controllers.
+
+Function configuration
+======================
+
+A user can configure the function attribute before enumerating the PCI
+function. Usually it means, user should configure function attribute
+before a bus specific device for the function is created. However, when
+SRIOV is enabled, virtual function devices are created on the PCI bus.
+Hence, function attribute should be configured before binding virtual
+function device to the driver. For subfunctions, this means user should
+configure port function attribute before activating the port function.
+
+A user may set the hardware address of the function using
+'devlink port function set hw_addr' command. For Ethernet port function
+this means a MAC address.
+
+Subfunction
+============
+
+Subfunction is a lightweight function that has a parent PCI function on which
+it is deployed. Subfunction is created and deployed in unit of 1. Unlike
+SRIOV VFs, a subfunction doesn't require its own PCI virtual function.
+A subfunction communicates with the hardware through the parent PCI function.
+
+To use a subfunction, 3 steps setup sequence is followed.
+(1) create - create a subfunction;
+(2) configure - configure subfunction attributes;
+(3) deploy - deploy the subfunction;
+
+Subfunction management is done using devlink port user interface.
+User performs setup on the subfunction management device.
+
+(1) Create
+----------
+A subfunction is created using a devlink port interface. A user adds the
+subfunction by adding a devlink port of subfunction flavour. The devlink
+kernel code calls down to subfunction management driver (devlink ops) and asks
+it to create a subfunction devlink port. Driver then instantiates the
+subfunction port and any associated objects such as health reporters and
+representor netdevice.
+
+(2) Configure
+-------------
+A subfunction devlink port is created but it is not active yet. That means the
+entities are created on devlink side, the e-switch port representor is created,
+but the subfunction device itself is not created. A user might use e-switch port
+representor to do settings, putting it into bridge, adding TC rules, etc. A user
+might as well configure the hardware address (such as MAC address) of the
+subfunction while subfunction is inactive.
+
+(3) Deploy
+----------
+Once a subfunction is configured, user must activate it to use it. Upon
+activation, subfunction management driver asks the subfunction management
+device to instantiate the subfunction device on particular PCI function.
+A subfunction device is created on the :ref:`Documentation/driver-api/auxiliary_bus.rst <auxiliary_bus>`.
+At this point a matching subfunction driver binds to the subfunction's auxiliary device.
+
+Rate object management
+======================
+
+Devlink provides API to manage tx rates of single devlink port or a group.
+This is done through rate objects, which can be one of the two types:
+
+``leaf``
+ Represents a single devlink port; created/destroyed by the driver. Since leaf
+ have 1to1 mapping to its devlink port, in user space it is referred as
+ ``pci/<bus_addr>/<port_index>``;
+
+``node``
+ Represents a group of rate objects (leafs and/or nodes); created/deleted by
+ request from the userspace; initially empty (no rate objects added). In
+ userspace it is referred as ``pci/<bus_addr>/<node_name>``, where
+ ``node_name`` can be any identifier, except decimal number, to avoid
+ collisions with leafs.
+
+API allows to configure following rate object's parameters:
+
+``tx_share``
+ Minimum TX rate value shared among all other rate objects, or rate objects
+ that parts of the parent group, if it is a part of the same group.
+
+``tx_max``
+ Maximum TX rate value.
+
+``parent``
+ Parent node name. Parent node rate limits are considered as additional limits
+ to all node children limits. ``tx_max`` is an upper limit for children.
+ ``tx_share`` is a total bandwidth distributed among children.
+
+Driver implementations are allowed to support both or either rate object types
+and setting methods of their parameters.

+Devlink Region
+==============
+
+``devlink`` regions enable access to driver defined address regions using
+devlink.
+
+Each device can create and register its own supported address regions. The
+region can then be accessed via the devlink region interface.
+
+Region snapshots are collected by the driver, and can be accessed via read
+or dump commands. This allows future analysis on the created snapshots.
+Regions may optionally support triggering snapshots on demand.
+
+Snapshot identifiers are scoped to the devlink instance, not a region.
+All snapshots with the same snapshot id within a devlink instance
+correspond to the same event.
+
+The major benefit to creating a region is to provide access to internal
+address regions that are otherwise inaccessible to the user.
+
+Regions may also be used to provide an additional way to debug complex error
+states, but see also Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-health.rst
+
+Regions may optionally support capturing a snapshot on demand via the
+``DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW`` netlink message. A driver wishing to allow
+requested snapshots must implement the ``.snapshot`` callback for the region
+in its ``devlink_region_ops`` structure. If snapshot id is not set in
+the ``DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW`` request kernel will allocate one and send
+the snapshot information to user space.

+Devlink Reload
+==============
+
+``devlink-reload`` provides mechanism to reinit driver entities, applying
+``devlink-params`` and ``devlink-resources`` new values. It also provides
+mechanism to activate firmware.
+
+Reload Actions
+==============
+
+User may select a reload action.
+By default ``driver_reinit`` action is selected.
+
+.. list-table:: Possible reload actions
+ :widths: 5 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``driver-reinit``
+ - Devlink driver entities re-initialization, including applying
+ new values to devlink entities which are used during driver
+ load such as ``devlink-params`` in configuration mode
+ ``driverinit`` or ``devlink-resources``
+ * - ``fw_activate``
+ - Firmware 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.
+
+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.
+
+Reload Limits
+=============
+
+By default reload actions are not limited and driver implementation may
+include reset or downtime as needed to perform the actions.
+
+However, some drivers support action limits, which limit the action
+implementation to specific constraints.
+
+.. list-table:: Possible reload limits
+ :widths: 5 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``no_reset``
+ - No reset allowed, no down time allowed, no link flap and no
+ configuration is lost.
+
+Change Namespace
+================
+
+The netns option allows user to be able to move devlink instances into
+namespaces during devlink reload operation.
+By default all devlink instances are created in init_net and stay there.
+
+example usage
+-------------
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $ devlink dev reload help
+ $ devlink dev reload DEV [ netns { PID | NAME | ID } ] [ action { driver_reinit | fw_activate } ] [ limit no_reset ]

+================
+Devlink Resource
+================
+
+``devlink`` provides the ability for drivers to register resources, which
+can allow administrators to see the device restrictions for a given
+resource, as well as how much of the given resource is currently
+in use. Additionally, these resources can optionally have configurable size.
+This could enable the administrator to limit the number of resources that
+are used.
+
+For example, the ``netdevsim`` driver enables ``/IPv4/fib`` and
+``/IPv4/fib-rules`` as resources to limit the number of IPv4 FIB entries and
+rules for a given device.
+
+Resource Ids
+============
+
+Each resource is represented by an id, and contains information about its
+current size and related sub resources. To access a sub resource, you
+specify the path of the resource. For example ``/IPv4/fib`` is the id for
+the ``fib`` sub-resource under the ``IPv4`` resource.
+
+Generic Resources
+=================
+
+Generic resources are used to describe resources that can be shared by multiple
+device drivers and their description must be added to the following table:
+
+.. list-table:: List of Generic Resources
+ :widths: 10 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``physical_ports``
+ - A limited capacity of physical ports that the switch ASIC can support
+
+example usage
+-------------
+
+The resources exposed by the driver can be observed, for example:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $devlink resource show pci/0000:03:00.0
+ pci/0000:03:00.0:
+ name kvd size 245760 unit entry
+ resources:
+ name linear size 98304 occ 0 unit entry size_min 0 size_max 147456 size_gran 128
+ name hash_double size 60416 unit entry size_min 32768 size_max 180224 size_gran 128
+ name hash_single size 87040 unit entry size_min 65536 size_max 212992 size_gran 128
+
+Some resource's size can be changed. Examples:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $devlink resource set pci/0000:03:00.0 path /kvd/hash_single size 73088
+ $devlink resource set pci/0000:03:00.0 path /kvd/hash_double size 74368
+
+The changes do not apply immediately, this can be validated by the 'size_new'
+attribute, which represents the pending change in size. For example:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $devlink resource show pci/0000:03:00.0
+ pci/0000:03:00.0:
+ name kvd size 245760 unit entry size_valid false
+ resources:
+ name linear size 98304 size_new 147456 occ 0 unit entry size_min 0 size_max 147456 size_gran 128
+ name hash_double size 60416 unit entry size_min 32768 size_max 180224 size_gran 128
+ name hash_single size 87040 unit entry size_min 65536 size_max 212992 size_gran 128
+
+Note that changes in resource size may require a device reload to properly
+take effect.

+Devlink Trap
+============
+
+Background
+==========
+
+Devices capable of offloading the kernel's datapath and perform functions such
+as bridging and routing must also be able to send specific packets to the
+kernel (i.e., the CPU) for processing.
+
+For example, a device acting as a multicast-aware bridge must be able to send
+IGMP membership reports to the kernel for processing by the bridge module.
+Without processing such packets, the bridge module could never populate its
+MDB.
+
+As another example, consider a device acting as router which has received an IP
+packet with a TTL of 1. Upon routing the packet the device must send it to the
+kernel so that it will route it as well and generate an ICMP Time Exceeded
+error datagram. Without letting the kernel route such packets itself, utilities
+such as ``traceroute`` could never work.
+
+The fundamental ability of sending certain packets to the kernel for processing
+is called "packet trapping".
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The ``devlink-trap`` mechanism allows capable device drivers to register their
+supported packet traps with ``devlink`` and report trapped packets to
+``devlink`` for further analysis.
+
+Upon receiving trapped packets, ``devlink`` will perform a per-trap packets and
+bytes accounting and potentially report the packet to user space via a netlink
+event along with all the provided metadata (e.g., trap reason, timestamp, input
+port). This is especially useful for drop traps (see :ref:`Trap-Types`)
+as it allows users to obtain further visibility into packet drops that would
+otherwise be invisible.
+
+The following diagram provides a general overview of ``devlink-trap``::

+
+Trap Types
+==========
+
+The ``devlink-trap`` mechanism supports the following packet trap types:
+
+ * ``drop``: Trapped packets were dropped by the underlying device. Packets
+ are only processed by ``devlink`` and not injected to the kernel's Rx path.
+ The trap action (see :ref:`Trap-Actions`) can be changed.
+ * ``exception``: Trapped packets were not forwarded as intended by the
+ underlying device due to an exception (e.g., TTL error, missing neighbour
+ entry) and trapped to the control plane for resolution. Packets are
+ processed by ``devlink`` and injected to the kernel's Rx path. Changing the
+ action of such traps is not allowed, as it can easily break the control
+ plane.
+ * ``control``: Trapped packets were trapped by the device because these are
+ control packets required for the correct functioning of the control plane.
+ For example, ARP request and IGMP query packets. Packets are injected to
+ the kernel's Rx path, but not reported to the kernel's drop monitor.
+ Changing the action of such traps is not allowed, as it can easily break
+ the control plane.
+
+.. _Trap-Actions:
+
+Trap Actions
+============
+
+The ``devlink-trap`` mechanism supports the following packet trap actions:
+
+ * ``trap``: The sole copy of the packet is sent to the CPU.
+ * ``drop``: The packet is dropped by the underlying device and a copy is not
+ sent to the CPU.
+ * ``mirror``: The packet is forwarded by the underlying device and a copy is
+ sent to the CPU.
+
+Generic Packet Traps
+====================
+
+Generic packet traps are used to describe traps that trap well-defined packets
+or packets that are trapped due to well-defined conditions (e.g., TTL error).
+Such traps can be shared by multiple device drivers and their description must
+be added to the following table:

+Driver-specific Packet Traps
+============================
+
+Device drivers can register driver-specific packet traps, but these must be
+clearly documented. Such traps can correspond to device-specific exceptions and
+help debug packet drops caused by these exceptions. The following list includes
+links to the description of driver-specific traps registered by various device
+drivers:

+
+Generic Packet Trap Groups
+==========================
+
+Generic packet trap groups are used to aggregate logically related packet
+traps. These groups allow the user to batch operations such as setting the trap
+action of all member traps. In addition, ``devlink-trap`` can report aggregated
+per-group packets and bytes statistics, in case per-trap statistics are too
+narrow. The description of these groups must be added to the following table:
+
+.. list-table:: List of Generic Packet Trap Groups
+ :widths: 10 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``l2_drops``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were dropped by the device during
+ layer 2 forwarding (i.e., bridge)
+ * - ``l3_drops``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were dropped by the device during
+ layer 3 forwarding
+ * - ``l3_exceptions``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that hit an exception (e.g., TTL
+ error) during layer 3 forwarding
+ * - ``buffer_drops``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were dropped by the device due to
+ an enqueue decision
+ * - ``tunnel_drops``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were dropped by the device during
+ tunnel encapsulation / decapsulation

+ ``uc_loopback``). This trap is singled-out because in cases such as
+ one-armed router it will be constantly triggered. To limit the impact on
+ the CPU usage, a packet trap policer with a low rate can be bound to the
+ group without affecting other traps
+ * - ``local_delivery``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that should be locally delivered after
+ routing, but do not match more specific packet traps (e.g.,
+ ``ipv4_bgp``)
+ * - ``external_delivery``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that should be routed through an
+ external interface (e.g., management interface) that does not belong to
+ the same device (e.g., switch ASIC) as the ingress interface
+ * - ``ipv6``
+ - Contains packet traps for various IPv6 control packets (e.g., Router
+ Advertisements)
+ * - ``ptp_event``
+ - Contains packet traps for PTP time-critical event messages (Sync,
+ Delay_req, Pdelay_Req and Pdelay_Resp)
+ * - ``ptp_general``
+ - Contains packet traps for PTP general messages (Announce, Follow_Up,
+ Delay_Resp, Pdelay_Resp_Follow_Up, management and signaling)
+ * - ``acl_sample``
+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were sampled by the device during
+ ACL processing

+ - Contains packet traps for packets that were marked by the device during
+ parsing as erroneous
+
+Packet Trap Policers
+====================
+
+As previously explained, the underlying device can trap certain packets to the
+CPU for processing. In most cases, the underlying device is capable of handling
+packet rates that are several orders of magnitude higher compared to those that
+can be handled by the CPU.
+
+Therefore, in order to prevent the underlying device from overwhelming the CPU,
+devices usually include packet trap policers that are able to police the
+trapped packets to rates that can be handled by the CPU.
+
+The ``devlink-trap`` mechanism allows capable device drivers to register their
+supported packet trap policers with ``devlink``. The device driver can choose
+to associate these policers with supported packet trap groups (see
+:ref:`Generic-Packet-Trap-Groups`) during its initialization, thereby exposing
+its default control plane policy to user space.
+
+Device drivers should allow user space to change the parameters of the policers
+(e.g., rate, burst size) as well as the association between the policers and
+trap groups by implementing the relevant callbacks.
+
+If possible, device drivers should implement a callback that allows user space
+to retrieve the number of packets that were dropped by the policer because its
+configured policy was violated.
+
+Testing
+=======
+
+See ``tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/netdevsim/devlink_trap.sh`` for a
+test covering the core infrastructure. Test cases should be added for any new
+functionality.
+
+Device drivers should focus their tests on device-specific functionality, such
+as the triggering of supported packet traps.

+ :widths: 5 5 5 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Type
+ - Example

+ - K65390-000
+ - The Product Board Assembly (PBA) identifier of the board.
+ * - ``fw.mgmt``
+ - running
+ - 2.1.7
+ - 3-digit version number of the management firmware running on the
+ Embedded Management Processor of the device. It controls the PHY,
+ link, access to device resources, etc. Intel documentation refers to
+ this as the EMP firmware.
+ * - ``fw.mgmt.api``
+ - running
+ - 1.5.1
+ - 3-digit version number (major.minor.patch) of the API exported over
+ the AdminQ by the management firmware. Used by the driver to
+ identify what commands are supported. Historical versions of the
+ kernel only displayed a 2-digit version number (major.minor).
+ * - ``fw.mgmt.build``
+ - running
+ - 0x305d955f
+ - Unique identifier of the source for the management firmware.
+ * - ``fw.undi``
+ - running
+ - 1.2581.0
+ - Version of the Option ROM containing the UEFI driver. The version is
+ reported in ``major.minor.patch`` format. The major version is
+ incremented whenever a major breaking change occurs, or when the
+ minor version would overflow. The minor version is incremented for
+ non-breaking changes and reset to 1 when the major version is
+ incremented. The patch version is normally 0 but is incremented when
+ a fix is delivered as a patch against an older base Option ROM.
+ * - ``fw.psid.api``
+ - running
+ - 0.80
+ - Version defining the format of the flash contents.
+ * - ``fw.bundle_id``
+ - running
+ - 0x80002ec0
+ - Unique identifier of the firmware image file that was loaded onto
+ the device. Also referred to as the EETRACK identifier of the NVM.
+ * - ``fw.app.name``
+ - running
+ - ICE OS Default Package
+ - The name of the DDP package that is active in the device. The DDP
+ package is loaded by the driver during initialization. Each
+ variation of the DDP package has a unique name.
+ * - ``fw.app``
+ - running
+ - 1.3.1.0
+ - The version of the DDP package that is active in the device. Note
+ that both the name (as reported by ``fw.app.name``) and version are
+ required to uniquely identify the package.
+ * - ``fw.app.bundle_id``
+ - running
+ - 0xc0000001
+ - Unique identifier for the DDP package loaded in the device. Also
+ referred to as the DDP Track ID. Can be used to uniquely identify
+ the specific DDP package.
+ * - ``fw.netlist``
+ - running
+ - 1.1.2000-6.7.0
+ - The version of the netlist module. This module defines the device's
+ Ethernet capabilities and default settings, and is used by the
+ management firmware as part of managing link and device
+ connectivity.
+ * - ``fw.netlist.build``
+ - running
+ - 0xee16ced7
+ - The first 4 bytes of the hash of the netlist module contents.
+
+Flash Update
+============
+
+The ``ice`` driver implements support for flash update using the
+``devlink-flash`` interface. It supports updating the device flash using a
+combined flash image that contains the ``fw.mgmt``, ``fw.undi``, and
+``fw.netlist`` components.
+
+.. list-table:: List of supported overwrite modes
+ :widths: 5 95
+
+ * - Bits
+ - Behavior
+ * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS``
+ - Do not preserve settings stored in the flash components being
+ updated. This includes overwriting the port configuration that
+ determines the number of physical functions the device will
+ initialize with.
+ * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS`` and ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS``
+ - Do not preserve either settings or identifiers. Overwrite everything
+ in the flash with the contents from the provided image, without
+ performing any preservation. This includes overwriting device
+ identifying fields such as the MAC address, VPD area, and device
+ serial number. It is expected that this combination be used with an
+ image customized for the specific device.
+
+The ice hardware does not support overwriting only identifiers while
+preserving settings, and thus ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS`` on its
+own will be rejected. If no overwrite mask is provided, the firmware will be
+instructed to preserve all settings and identifying fields when updating.
+
+Reload
+======
+
+The ``ice`` driver supports activating new firmware after a flash update
+using ``DEVLINK_CMD_RELOAD`` with the ``DEVLINK_RELOAD_ACTION_FW_ACTIVATE``
+action.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $ devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0 reload action fw_activate
+
+The new firmware is activated by issuing a device specific Embedded
+Management Processor reset which requests the device to reset and reload the
+EMP firmware image.
+
+The driver does not currently support reloading the driver via
+``DEVLINK_RELOAD_ACTION_DRIVER_REINIT``.
+
+Port split
+==========
+
+The ``ice`` driver supports port splitting only for port 0, as the FW has
+a predefined set of available port split options for the whole device.
+
+A system reboot is required for port split to be applied.
+
+The following command will select the port split option with 4 ports:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $ devlink port split pci/0000:16:00.0/0 count 4
+
+The list of all available port options will be printed to dynamic debug after
+each ``split`` and ``unsplit`` command. The first option is the default.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ ice 0000:16:00.0: Available port split options and max port speeds (Gbps):
+ ice 0000:16:00.0: Status Split Quad 0 Quad 1
+ ice 0000:16:00.0: count L0 L1 L2 L3 L4 L5 L6 L7
+ ice 0000:16:00.0: Active 2 100 - - - 100 - - -
+ ice 0000:16:00.0: 2 50 - 50 - - - - -
+ ice 0000:16:00.0: Pending 4 25 25 25 25 - - - -
+ ice 0000:16:00.0: 4 25 25 - - 25 25 - -
+ ice 0000:16:00.0: 8 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
+ ice 0000:16:00.0: 1 100 - - - - - - -
+
+There could be multiple FW port options with the same port split count. When
+the same port split count request is issued again, the next FW port option with
+the same port split count will be selected.
+
+``devlink port unsplit`` will select the option with a split count of 1. If
+there is no FW option available with split count 1, you will receive an error.
+
+Regions
+=======
+
+The ``ice`` driver implements the following regions for accessing internal
+device data.
+
+.. list-table:: regions implemented
+ :widths: 15 85
+
+ * - Name

+Linux Devlink Documentation
+===========================
+
+devlink is an API to expose device information and resources not directly
+related to any device class, such as chip-wide/switch-ASIC-wide configuration.
+
+Locking
+-------
+
+Driver facing APIs are currently transitioning to allow more explicit
+locking. Drivers can use the existing ``devlink_*`` set of APIs, or
+new APIs prefixed by ``devl_*``. The older APIs handle all the locking
+in devlink core, but don't allow registration of most sub-objects once
+the main devlink object is itself registered. The newer ``devl_*`` APIs assume
+the devlink instance lock is already held. Drivers can take the instance
+lock by calling ``devl_lock()``. It is also held all callbacks of devlink
+netlink commands.
+
+Drivers are encouraged to use the devlink instance lock for their own needs.

+iosm devlink support
+====================
+
+This document describes the devlink features implemented by the ``iosm``
+device driver.
+
+Parameters
+==========
+
+The ``iosm`` driver implements the following driver-specific parameters.
+
+.. list-table:: Driver-specific parameters implemented
+ :widths: 5 5 5 85
+
+ * - Name
+ - Type
+ - Mode
+ - Description
+ * - ``erase_full_flash``
+ - u8
+ - runtime
+ - erase_full_flash parameter is used to check if full erase is required for
+ the device during firmware flashing.
+ If set, Full nand erase command will be sent to the device. By default,
+ only conditional erase support is enabled.
+
+
+Flash Update
+============
+
+The ``iosm`` driver implements support for flash update using the
+``devlink-flash`` interface.
+
+It supports updating the device flash using a combined flash image which contains
+the Bootloader images and other modem software images.
+
+The driver uses DEVLINK_SUPPORT_FLASH_UPDATE_COMPONENT to identify type of
+firmware image that need to be flashed as requested by user space application.
+Supported firmware image types.
+
+.. list-table:: Firmware Image types
+ :widths: 15 85
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``PSI RAM``
+ - Primary Signed Image
+ * - ``EBL``
+ - External Bootloader
+ * - ``FLS``
+ - Modem Software Image
+
+PSI RAM and EBL are the RAM images which are injected to the device when the
+device is in BOOT ROM stage. Once this is successful, the actual modem firmware
+image is flashed to the device. The modem software image contains multiple files
+each having one secure bin file and at least one Loadmap/Region file. For flashing
+these files, appropriate commands are sent to the modem device along with the
+data required for flashing. The data like region count and address of each region
+has to be passed to the driver using the devlink param command.
+
+If the device has to be fully erased before firmware flashing, user application
+need to set the erase_full_flash parameter using devlink param command.
+By default, conditional erase feature is supported.
+
+Flash Commands:
+===============
+1) When modem is in Boot ROM stage, user can use below command to inject PSI RAM
+image using devlink flash command.
+
+$ devlink dev flash pci/0000:02:00.0 file <PSI_RAM_File_name>
+
+2) If user want to do a full erase, below command need to be issued to set the
+erase full flash param (To be set only if full erase required).
+
+$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:02:00.0 name erase_full_flash value true cmode runtime
+
+3) Inject EBL after the modem is in PSI stage.
+
+$ devlink dev flash pci/0000:02:00.0 file <EBL_File_name>
+
+4) Once EBL is injected successfully, then the actual firmware flashing takes
+place. Below is the sequence of commands used for each of the firmware images.
+
+a) Flash secure bin file.
+
+$ devlink dev flash pci/0000:02:00.0 file <Secure_bin_file_name>
+
+b) Flashing the Loadmap/Region file
+
+$ devlink dev flash pci/0000:02:00.0 file <Load_map_file_name>
+
+Regions
+=======
+
+The ``iosm`` driver supports dumping the coredump logs.
+
+In case a firmware encounters an exception, a snapshot will be taken by the
+driver. Following regions are accessed for device internal data.
+
+.. list-table:: Regions implemented
+ :widths: 15 85
+
+ * - Name
+ - Description
+ * - ``report.json``
+ - The summary of exception details logged as part of this region.
+ * - ``coredump.fcd``
+ - This region contains the details related to the exception occurred in the
+ device (RAM dump).
+ * - ``cdd.log``
+ - This region contains the logs related to the modem CDD driver.

+Regions
+=======
+
+The ``netdevsim`` driver exposes a ``dummy`` region as an example of how the
+devlink-region interfaces work. A snapshot is taken whenever the
+``take_snapshot`` debugfs file is written to.
+
+Resources
+=========
+
+The ``netdevsim`` driver exposes resources to control the number of FIB
+entries, FIB rule entries and nexthops that the driver will allow.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv4/fib size 96
+ $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv4/fib-rules size 16
+ $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv6/fib size 64
+ $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv6/fib-rules size 16
+ $ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /nexthops size 16
+ $ devlink dev reload netdevsim/netdevsim0
+
+Rate objects
+============
+
+The ``netdevsim`` driver supports rate objects management, which includes:
+
+- registerging/unregistering leaf rate objects per VF devlink port;
+- creation/deletion node rate objects;
+- setting tx_share and tx_max rate values for any rate object type;
+- setting parent node for any rate object type.
+
+Rate nodes and their parameters are exposed in ``netdevsim`` debugfs in RO mode.
+For example created rate node with name ``some_group``:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $ ls /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/netdevsim0/rate_groups/some_group
+ rate_parent tx_max tx_share
+
+Same parameters are exposed for leaf objects in corresponding ports directories.
+For ex.:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ $ ls /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/netdevsim0/ports/1
+ dev ethtool rate_parent tx_max tx_share
