[net-next,v3,00/10] Introduce queue and NAPI support in netdev-genl (Was: Introduce NAPI queues support)

Message

Nambiar, Amritha Sept. 19, 2023, 10:27 p.m. UTC

Add the capability to export the following via netdev-genl interface:
- queue information supported by the device
- NAPI information supported by the device

Introduce support for associating  queue and NAPI instance.
Extend the netdev_genl generic netlink family for netdev
with queue and NAPI data. 

The queue parameters exposed are:
- queue index
- queue type
- ifindex
- NAPI id associated with the queue
- tx maxrate
Additional rx and tx queue parameters can be exposed in follow up
patches by stashing them in netdev queue structures. XDP queue type
can also be supported in future.

The NAPI fields exposed are:
- NAPI id
- NAPI device ifindex
- Interrupt number associated with the NAPI instance
- PID for the NAPI thread

This series only supports 'get' ability for retrieving
certain queue and NAPI attributes. The 'set' ability for
configuring queue and associated NAPI instance via netdev-genl
will be submitted as a separate patch series.

{'ifindex': 12, 'irq': 291, 'napi-id': 593, 'pid': 3817}

v2 -> v3
* Implemented queue as separate netlink object
with support for exposing per-queue paramters
* Removed queue-list associations with NAPI
* Addressed other review feedback WRT tracking list
iterations

v1 -> v2
* Removed multi-attr nest for NAPI object
* Added support for flat/individual NAPI objects
* Changed 'do' command to take napi-id as argument
* Supported filtered 'dump' (dump with ifindex for a netdev and dump for
  all netdevs)

RFC -> v1
* Changed to separate 'napi_get' command
* Added support to expose interrupt and PID for the NAPI
* Used list of netdev queue structs
* Split patches further and fixed code style and errors
