Currently global devlink_mutex is held while a doit() operation is
progress. This brings a limitation.
A Driver cannot perform devlink_register()/unregister() calls
during devlink doit() callback functions.
This is typically required when a port state change described in
RFC [1] callback wants to delete an active SF port or wants to
activate a SF port that results into unregistering or registering a
devlink instance on different bus such as ancillary bus.
An example flow:
devlink_predoit()
mutex_lock(&devlink_mutex); <- First lock acquire
devlink_reload()
driver->reload_down(inactive)
adev->remove();
mlx5_adev_remove(ancillary_dev);
devlink_unregister(ancillary_dev->devlink_instance);
mutex_lock(&devlink_mutex); <- Second lock acquire
This patch is preparation patch to enable drivers to achieve this.
It achieves this by maintaining a per devlink instance refcount to
prevent devlink device unregistration while user command are in progress
or while devlink device is migration to init_net net namespace.
devlink_nl_family continue to remain registered with parallel_ops
disabled. So even after removing devlink_mutex during doit commands,
it doesn't enable userspace to run multiple devlink commands for one
or multiple devlink instance.
