MultiPort E-Switch builds on newer hardware's capabilities and introduces
a mode where a single E-Switch is used and all the vports and physical
ports on the NIC are connected to it.
The new mode will allow in the future a decrease in the memory used by the
driver and advanced features that aren't possible today.
This represents a big change in the current E-Switch implantation in mlx5.
Currently, by default, each E-Switch manager manages its E-Switch.
Steering rules in each E-Switch can only forward traffic to the native
physical port associated with that E-Switch. While there are ways to target
non-native physical ports, for example using a bond or via special TC
rules. None of the ways allows a user to configure the driver
to operate by default in such a mode nor can the driver decide
to move to this mode by default as it's user configuration-driven right now.
While MultiPort E-Switch single FDB mode is the preferred mode, older
generations of ConnectX hardware couldn't support this mode so it was never
implemented. Now that there is capable hardware present, start the
transition to having this mode by default.
Introduce a devlink parameter to control MultiPort E-Switch single FDB mode.
This will allow users to select this mode on their system right now
and in the future will allow the driver to move to this mode by default.
Example:
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:00:0b.0 name esw_multiport value 1 \
cmode runtime

Currently, max_macs is taking 70Kbytes of memory per function. This
size is not needed in all use cases, and is critical with large scale.
Hence, allow user to configure the number of max_macs.
For example, to reduce the number of max_macs to 1, execute::
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:00:0b.0 name max_macs value 1 \
cmode driverinit
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:00:0b.0

Event EQ is an EQ which received the notification of almost all the
events generated by the NIC.
Currently, each event EQ is taking 512KB of memory. This size is not
needed in most use cases, and is critical with large scale. Hence,
allow user to configure the size of the event EQ.
For example to reduce event EQ size to 64, execute::
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:00:0b.0 name event_eq_size value 64 \
cmode driverinit
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:00:0b.0

Add a devlink parameter to control the number of large groups in a
autogrouped flow table. The default value is 15, and the range is between 1
and 1024.
The size of each large group can be calculated according to the following
formula: size = 4M / (fdb_large_groups + 1).
Examples:
- Set the number of large groups to 20.
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:82:00.0 name fdb_large_groups \
cmode driverinit value 20
Then run devlink reload command to apply the new value.
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:82:00.0
- Read the number of large groups in flow table.
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:82:00.0 name fdb_large_groups
pci/0000:82:00.0:
name fdb_large_groups type driver-specific
values:
cmode driverinit value 20

Add the set of info versions reported by each device driver, including
a description of what the version represents, and what modes (fixed,
running, stored) it reports.

Several drivers document what parameters they support in
a devlink-params-*.txt file. This file is supposed to contain both the
list of generic parameters implemented by the driver, as well as a list
of driver-specific parameters and their descriptions.
It would also be good if the driver documentation included other
driver-specific implementations, such as info versions, devlink
regions, and so forth.
Convert all of these documentation files to reStructuredText, and rename
them to just the driver name. Future changes will include other
driver-specific implementations. Each file will contain a table for the
generic parameters implemented, as well as a separate table for the
driver-specific parameters.
Future sections such as for devlink info versions will be added to these
files. This avoids creating additional devlink-<feature>-<driver> files
for each devlink feature, reducing clutter in the documentation folder.
