Subject: [patch net-next 00/15] netdevsim: impement proper device model

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@...lanox.com>

Currently the model of netdevsim is a bit odd in multiple ways.
1) devlink instance is not in any way related with actual netdevsim
   netdevices. Instead, it is created per-namespace.
2) multi-port netdevsim device is done using "link" attribute.
3) netdevsim bus is there only to have something to bind the netdev to,
   it really does not act as a bus.
4) netdevsim instances are created by "ip link add" which is great for
   soft devices with no hw backend. The rtnl core allocates netdev and
   calls into driver holding rtnl mutex. For hw-backed devices, this
   flow is wrong as it breaks order in which things are done.

This patchset adjust netdevsim to fix all above.

In order to support proper devlink and devlink port instances and to be
able to emulate real devices, there is need to implement bus probe and
instantiate everything from there. User can specify device id and port
count to be instantianted. For example:

echo "10 4" > /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device

Then devlink shows this:

$ devlink dev
netdevsim/netdevsim10

$ devlink port
netdevsim/netdevsim10/0: type eth netdev netdevsim10p1 flavour physical
netdevsim/netdevsim10/1: type eth netdev netdevsim10p2 flavour physical
netdevsim/netdevsim10/2: type eth netdev netdevsim10p3 flavour physical
netdevsim/netdevsim10/3: type eth netdev netdevsim10p4 flavour physical

Debugfs topology is also adjusted a bit. The rest stays the same as
before.

Udev bits are pushed in following pull request:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/12340

Note that future extensions to allow add and delete ports during
netdevsim life are quite easy to do. There is just needed to pick a
correct interface.

Jiri Pirko (15):
  netdevsim: move device registration on bus to be done earlier in init
  netdevsim: create devlink instance per netdevsim instance
  netdevsim: rename devlink.c to dev.c to contain per-dev(asic) items
  netdevsim: put netdevsim bus code into separate file
  netdevsim: move device registration and related code to bus.c
  netdevsim: add stub netdevsim driver implementation
  netdevsim: use ida for bus device ids
  netdevsim: add bus attributes to add new and delete devices
  netdevsim: rename dev_init/exit() functions and make them independent
    on ns
  netdevsim: merge sdev into dev
  netdevsim: generate random switch id instead of using dev id
  netdevsim: change debugfs tree topology
  netdevsim: implement dev probe/remove skeleton with port
    initialization
  netdevsim: move netdev creation/destruction to dev probe
  netdevsim: implement ndo_get_devlink_port
