Hi,
Could you please with my query on the devlink-port-params implementation.
[had sent the same query earlier to j...@mellanox.com (based on the copyright
info)].
Kernel seem to be invoking the driver devlink callbacks (registered via
DEVLINK_PARAM_DRIVER) only when the associated parameter is published via
devlink_params_publish(). callnback invocation path,
devlink_nl_param_fill()
{
if (!param_item->published)
continue;
ctx.cmode = i;
err = devlink_param_get(devlink, param, &ctx);
}
The API devlink_params_publish() publishes only the devlink-dev parameters
(i.e., registered via devlink_params_register()), not the devlink-port params
which are registered via devlink_port_params_register(). I couldn't find any
other interface for publishing the devlink-port-params.
I have manually verified setting the published flag for port-params (as in
below) and, observed that kernel correctly invokes the callbacks of
devlink-port-params.
list_for_each_entry(param_item, &dl_port.param_list, list) {
param_item->published = true;
}
Please let me know if I'm missing something here or, it's a missing
functionality in the kernel.
Thanks,
Sudarsana
