DESCRIPTION
devlink port set - change devlink port attributes
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.
Format is:
BUS_NAME/BUS_ADDRESS/PORT_INDEX
type { eth | ib | auto }
set port type
eth - Ethernet
ib - Infiniband
auto - autoselect
devlink port split - split devlink port into more
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.
count COUNT
number of ports to split to.
devlink port unsplit - unsplit previously split devlink port
Could be performed on any split port of the same split group.
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.
devlink port show - display devlink port attributes
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to show. If this argument is omitted all
ports are listed.
devlink port health - devlink health reporting and recovery
Is an alias for devlink-health(8).
devlink port add - add a devlink port
DEV - specifies the devlink device to operate on. or
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port index to use for the requested new port. This
is optional. When omitted, driver allocates unique port index.
flavour { pcipf | pcisf }
set port flavour
pcipf - PCI PF port
pcisf - PCI SF port
pfnum PFNUMBER
Specifies PCI pfnumber to use on which a SF device to create
sfnum SFNUMBER
Specifies sfnumber to assign to the device of the SF. This field is optional for
those devices which supports auto assignment of the SF number.
controller CNUM
Specifies controller number for which the SF port is created. This field is
optional. It is used only when SF port is created for the external controller.
devlink port function set - Set the port function attribute(s).
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.
hw_addr ADDR
Hardware address of the function to set. This is a Ethernet MAC address when port
type is Ethernet.
state { active | inactive }
New state of the function to change to.
active - Once configuration of the function is done, activate the function.
inactive - To inactivate the function and its device(s), set to inactive.
devlink port del - delete a devlink port
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to delete.
devlink port param set - set new value to devlink port configuration parameter
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.
name PARAMETER
Specify parameter name to set.
value VALUE
New value to set.
cmode { runtime | driverinit | permanent }
Configuration mode in which the new value is set.
runtime - Set new value while driver is running. This configuration mode doesn't
require any reset to apply the new value.
driverinit - Set new value which will be applied during driver initialization. This
configuration mode requires restart driver by devlink reload command to apply the
new value.
permanent - New value is written to device's non-volatile memory. This
configuration mode requires hard reset to apply the new value.
devlink port param show - display devlink port supported configuration parameters attributes
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to operate on.
name PARAMETER Specify parameter name to show. If this argument, as well as port index,
are omitted - all parameters supported by devlink device ports are listed.
devlink port function rate - manage devlink rate objects
Is an alias for devlink-rate(8).
EXAMPLES
devlink port show
Shows the state of all devlink ports on the system.
devlink port show pci/0000:01:00.0/1
Shows the state of specified devlink port.
devlink port set pci/0000:01:00.0/1 type eth
Set type of specified devlink port to Ethernet.
devlink port split pci/0000:01:00.0/1 count 4
Split the specified devlink port into four ports.
devlink port unsplit pci/0000:01:00.0/1
Unplit the specified previously split devlink port.
devlink port health show
Shows status and configuration of all supported reporters registered on all devlink
ports.
devlink port health show pci/0000:01:00.0/1 reporter tx
Shows status and configuration of tx reporter registered on pci/0000:01:00.0/1 devlink
port.
devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88
Add a devlink port of flavour PCI SF on PCI PF having number 0 with SF number 88. To
make use of the function an example sequence is to add a port, configure the function
attribute and activate the function. Once function usage is completed, inactivate the
function and finally delete the port. When there is desire to reuse the port without
deletion, it can be reconfigured and activated again when function is in inactive
state and function's operational state is detached.
devlink port del pci/0000:06:00.0/1
Delete previously created devlink port. It is recommended to first deactivate the
function if the function supports state management.
devlink port function set pci/0000:01:00.0/1 hw_addr 00:00:00:11:22:33
Configure hardware address of the PCI function represented by devlink port. If the
port supports change in function state, hardware address must be configured before
activating the function.
devlink port function set pci/0000:01:00.0/1 state active
Activate the function. This will initiate the function enumeration and driver loading.
devlink port function set pci/0000:01:00.0/1 state inactive
Deactivate the function. This will initiate the function teardown which results in
driver unload and device removal.
devlink port function set pci/0000:01:00.0/1 hw_addr 00:00:00:11:22:33 state active
Configure hardware address and also active the function. When a function is activated
together with other configuration in a single command, all the configuration is
applied first before changing the state to active.
devlink dev param show
Shows (dumps) all the port parameters across all the devices registered in the
devlink.
devlink dev param set pci/0000:01:00.0/1 name internal_error_reset value true cmode
runtime
Sets the parameter internal_error_reset of specified devlink port (#1) to true.
devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88 controller 1
Add a devlink port of flavour PCI SF on controller 1 which has PCI PF of number 0 with
SF number 88. To make use of the function an example sequence is to add a port,
configure the function attribute and activate the function. Once the function usage is
completed, deactivate the function and finally delete the port. When there is desire
to reuse the port without deletion, it can be reconfigured and activated again when
function is in inactive state and function's operational state is detached.
