Subject: [patch net-next v3 0/9] devlink: introduce notifications filtering

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

Currently the user listening on a socket for devlink notifications
gets always all messages for all existing devlink instances and objects,
even if he is interested only in one of those. That may cause
unnecessary overhead on setups with thousands of instances present.

User is currently able to narrow down the devlink objects replies
to dump commands by specifying select attributes.

Allow similar approach for notifications providing user a new
notify-filter-set command to select attributes with values
the notification message has to match. In that case, it is delivered
to the socket.

Note that the filtering is done per-socket, so multiple users may
specify different selection of attributes with values.

This patchset initially introduces support for following attributes:
DEVLINK_ATTR_BUS_NAME
DEVLINK_ATTR_DEV_NAME
DEVLINK_ATTR_PORT_INDEX

Patches #1 - #4 are preparations in devlink code, patch #3 is
                an optimization done on the way.
Patches #5 - #7 are preparations in netlink and generic netlink code.
Patch #8 is the main one in this set implementing of
         the notify-filter-set command and the actual
         per-socket filtering.
Patch #0 extends the infrastructure allowing to filter according
         to a port index.

Example:
$ devlink mon port pci/0000:08:00.0/32768
[port,new] pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type notset flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 107 splittable false
  function:
    hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached roce enable
[port,new] pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type eth flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 107 splittable false
  function:
    hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached roce enable
[port,new] pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type eth netdev eth3 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 107 splittable false
  function:
    hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached roce enable
[port,new] pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type eth netdev eth3 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 107 splittable false
  function:
    hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached roce enable
[port,new] pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type eth flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 107 splittable false
  function:
    hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached roce enable
[port,new] pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type notset flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 107 splittable false
  function:
    hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached roce enable
[port,del] pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type notset flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 107 splittable false
  function:
    hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached roce enable
