DESCRIPTION
devlink dev show - display devlink device attributes
DEV - specifies the devlink device to show. If this argument is omit-
ted all devices are listed.
Format is:
BUS_NAME/BUS_ADDRESS
devlink dev eswitch show - display devlink device eswitch attributes
devlink dev eswitch set - sets devlink device eswitch attributes
mode { legacy | switchdev }
Set eswitch mode
legacy - Legacy SRIOV
switchdev - SRIOV switchdev offloads
inline-mode { none | link | network | transport }
Some HWs need the VF driver to put part of the packet headers on
the TX descriptor so the e-switch can do proper matching and
steering.
none - None
link - L2 mode
network - L3 mode
transport - L4 mode
encap-mode { none | basic }
Set eswitch encapsulation support
none - Disable encapsulation support
basic - Enable encapsulation support
devlink dev param set - set new value to devlink device configuration pa-
rameter
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 configura-
tion 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 mem-
ory. This configuration mode requires hard reset to apply the
new value.
devlink dev param show - display devlink device supported configuration pa-
rameters attributes
name PARAMETER Specify parameter name to show. If this argument is
omitted all parameters supported by devlink devices are listed.
devlink dev reload - perform hot reload of the driver.
DEV - Specifies the devlink device to reload.
netns { PID | NAME | ID } - Specifies the network namespace to reload
into, either by pid, name or id.
action { driver_reinit | fw_activate } - Specifies the reload action
required. If this argument is omitted driver_reinit action will be
used. Note that even though user asks for a specific action, the
driver implementation might require to perform another action alongside
with it. For example, some driver do not support driver reinitializa-
tion being performed without fw activation. Therefore, the devlink
reload command returns the list of actions which were actrually per-
formed.
driver_reinit - Driver entities re-initialization, applying devlink-
param and devlink-resource values.
fw_activate - Activates new firmware if such image is stored and pend-
ing activation. If no limitation specified this action may involve
firmware reset. If no new image pending this action will reload current
firmware image.
limit no_reset - Specifies limitation on reload action. If this argu-
ment is omitted limit is unspecified and the reload action is not lim-
ited. In such case driver implementation may include reset or downtime
as needed to perform the actions.
no_reset - No reset allowed, no down time allowed, no link flap and no
configuration is lost.
devlink dev info - display device information.
Display device information provided by the driver. This command can be
used to query versions of the hardware components or device components
which can't be updated ( fixed ) as well as device firmware which can
be updated. For firmware components running displays the versions of
firmware currently loaded into the device, while stored reports the
versions in device's flash. Running and stored versions may differ af-
ter flash has been updated, but before reboot.
DEV - specifies the devlink device to show. If this argument is omit-
ted all devices are listed.
devlink dev flash - write device's non-volatile memory.
DEV - specifies the devlink device to write to.
file PATH - Path to the file which will be written into device's flash.
The path needs to be relative to one of the directories searched by the
kernel firmware loader, such as /lib/firmware.
component NAME - If device stores multiple firmware images in non-
volatile memory, this parameter may be used to indicate which firmware
image should be written. The value of NAME should match the component
names from devlink dev info and may be driver-dependent.
devlink dev selftests show - shows supported selftests on devlink device.
DEV - specifies the devlink device. If this argument is omitted all
selftests for devlink devices are listed.
devlink dev selftests run - runs selftests on devlink device.
DEV - specifies the devlink device to execute selftests.
id ID... - The value of ID(s) should match the selftests shown in de-
vlink dev selftests show to execute selftests on the devlink device.
If this argument is omitted all selftests supported by devlink devices
are executed.
EXAMPLES
devlink dev show
Shows the state of all devlink devices on the system.
devlink dev show pci/0000:01:00.0
Shows the state of specified devlink device.
devlink dev eswitch show pci/0000:01:00.0
Shows the eswitch mode of specified devlink device.
devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:01:00.0 mode switchdev
Sets the eswitch mode of specified devlink device to switchdev.
devlink dev param show pci/0000:01:00.0 name max_macs
Shows the parameter max_macs attributes.
devlink dev param set pci/0000:01:00.0 name internal_error_reset value
true cmode runtime
Sets the parameter internal_error_reset of specified devlink device
to true.
devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0
Performs hot reload of specified devlink device.
devlink dev flash pci/0000:01:00.0 file firmware.bin
Flashes the specified devlink device with provided firmware file
name. If the driver supports it, user gets updates about the flash
status. For example:
Preparing to flash
Flashing 100%
Flashing done
devlink dev selftests show pci/0000:01:00.0
Shows the supported selftests by the devlink device.
devlink dev selftests run pci/0000:01:00.0 id flash
Perform a flash test on the devlink device.
