Merge branch 'devlink-params-cleanup'
Jiri Pirko says: ==================== devlink: params cleanups and devl_param_driverinit_value_get() fix The primary motivation of this patchset is the patch #6, which fixes an issue introduced by 075935f0 ("devlink: protect devlink param list by instance lock") and reported by Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@amd.com> (https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/719de4f0-76ac-e8b9-38a9-167ae239efc7@amd.com/) and my colleagues doing mlx5 driver regression testing. The basis idea is that devl_param_driverinit_value_get() could be possible to the called without holding devlink intance lock in most of the cases (all existing ones in the current codebase), which would fix some mlx5 flows where the lock is not held. To achieve that, make sure that the param value does not change between reloads with patch #2. Also, convert the param list to xarray which removes the worry about list_head consistency when doing lockless lookup. The rest of the patches are doing some small related cleanup of things that poke me in the eye during the work. --- v1->v2: - a small bug was fixed in patch #2, the rest of the code stays the same so I left review/ack tags attached to them ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
