Introduce a new helper devl_port_fn_devlink_set() to be used by driver assigning a devlink instance to the peer devlink port function. Expose this to user over new netlink attribute nested under port function nest to expose devlink handle related to the port function. This is particularly helpful for user to understand the relationship between devlink instances created for SFs and the port functions they belong to. Note that caller of devlink_port_notify() needs to hold devlink instance lock, put the assertion to devl_port_fn_devlink_set() to make this requirement explicit. Also note the limitations that only allow to make this assignment for registered objects. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
