However mdev devices establishes their unique identity at system level using unique UUID. So prefixing it with pf0, will shorten the remaining phys_port_name letter we get to use. Since we get unique 12 letters alias in a system for each mdev, prefixing it with pf/vf is redundant. In case of VFs, given the VF numbers can repeat among multiple PFs, and representor can be over just one eswitch instance, it was necessary to prefix. Mdev's devices parent PCI device is clearly seen in the PCI sysfs hierarchy, so don't prefer to duplicate it. > > Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit <parav@mellanox.com> > > > @@ -6649,6 +6678,9 @@ static int > __devlink_port_phys_port_name_get(struct devlink_port *devlink_port, > > n = snprintf(name, len, "pf%uvf%u", > > attrs->pci_vf.pf, attrs->pci_vf.vf); > > break; > > + case DEVLINK_PORT_FLAVOUR_MDEV: > > + n = snprintf(name, len, "p%s", attrs->mdev.mdev_alias); > > Didn't you say m$alias in the cover letter?

For devlink port show command output you said, "Surely those devices are anchored in on of the PF (or possibly VFs) that should be exposed here from the start." So I was trying to explain why we don't expose PF/VF detail in the port attributes which contains (a) flavour (b) netdev representor (name derived from phys_port_name) (c) mdev alias Can you please describe which netlink attribute I missed? > > > > Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit <parav@mellanox.com> > > > > > > > @@ -6649,6 +6678,9 @@ static int > > > __devlink_port_phys_port_name_get(struct devlink_port *devlink_port, > > > > n = snprintf(name, len, "pf%uvf%u", > > > > attrs->pci_vf.pf, attrs->pci_vf.vf); > > > > break; > > > > + case DEVLINK_PORT_FLAVOUR_MDEV: > > > > + n = snprintf(name, len, "p%s", attrs->mdev.mdev_alias); > > > > > > Didn't you say m$alias in the cover letter?

And such name will likely get renamed to eth0 in VM or container. Unlike vxlan, macvlan interfaces, user explicitly specify the netdevice name, and when newlink() netlink command completes with success, user know the device to use. If we don't have persistent name for mdev, if a random name ethX is picked up, user needs refer to sysfs device hierarchy to know its netdev. Its super easy to do refer that, but having persistent name based out of alias makes things aligned like naming device on PCI bus. This way devices can be used without VM/container use cases too, for example user is interested in only 4 or 8 mdev devices in system and its setup is done through systemd.service. > > > > + break; > > > > } > > > > > > > > if (n >= len)

Hmm, it's been so far I can't really recall. But looking at what we have now: DEVLINK_PORT_FLAVOUR_PHYSICAL "p%u"/"p%us%u" DEVLINK_PORT_FLAVOUR_PCI_PF "pf%u" DEVLINK_PORT_FLAVOUR_PCI_VF "pf%uvf%u" For mdev, the ideal format would be: "pf%um%s" or "pf%uvf%um%s", but that would be too long. I guess that "m%s" is fine. "p" is probably not a good idea as phys ports already have that. [...]

Mdev core generating the alias is not aware of the prefixes applied devlink. it shouldn't be. We want more letters towards uniqueness of the alias and filling it up with such prefixes doesn't make sense. > >What in hypothetical case, mdev is not on top of PCI... > > Okay, let's go hypothetical.

But just because it is on top of something, doesn't mean we include the whole parent dev, its bridge, its rc hierarchy here. There should be a need. It was needed in PF/VF case due to overlapping numbers of VFs via single devlink instance. You probably missed my reply to Jakub. Here it is no overlap.

Well, I don't really need those in the phys_port_name, mainly simply because they would not fit. However, I believe that you should fillup the PF/VF devlink netlink attrs. Note that we are not talking here about the actual mdev, but rather devlink_port associated with this mdev. And devlink port should have this info. > >> >What in hypothetical case, mdev is not on top of PCI... >> >> Okay, let's go hypothetical.

Because you can have non pci based mdev, though it doesn't exist today along with devlink to my knowledge.

Non-optional now. We can always change the code to not fill it up or fill up another attr instead. no UAPI harm.
