Expose a non standard query port via IOCTL that will be used to expose port attributes that are specific to mlx5 devices. The new interface receives a port number to query and returns a structure that contains the available attributes for that port. This will be used to fill the gap between pure DEVX use cases and use cases where a kernel needs to inform userspace about various kernel driver configurations that userspace must use in order to work correctly. Flags is used to indicate which fields are valid on return. MLX5_IB_UAPI_QUERY_PORT_VPORT: The vport number of the queered port. MLX5_IB_UAPI_QUERY_PORT_VPORT_VHCA_ID: The VHCA ID of the vport of the queered port. MLX5_IB_UAPI_QUERY_PORT_VPORT_STEERING_ICM_RX: The vport's RX ICM address used for sw steering. MLX5_IB_UAPI_QUERY_PORT_VPORT_STEERING_ICM_TX: The vport's TX ICM address used for sw steering. MLX5_IB_UAPI_QUERY_PORT_VPORT_REG_C0: The metadata used to tag egress packets of the vport. MLX5_IB_UAPI_QUERY_PORT_ESW_OWNER_VHCA_ID: The E-Switch owner vhca id of the vport.

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.
