Devlink Region
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
``devlink`` regions enable access to driver defined address regions using
|
|
devlink.
|
|
|
|
Each device can create and register its own supported address regions. The
|
|
region can then be accessed via the devlink region interface.
|
|
|
|
Region snapshots are collected by the driver, and can be accessed via read
|
|
or dump commands. This allows future analysis on the created snapshots.
|
|
Regions may optionally support triggering snapshots on demand.
|
|
|
|
The major benefit to creating a region is to provide access to internal
|
|
address regions that are otherwise inaccessible to the user.
|
|
|
|
Regions may also be used to provide an additional way to debug complex error
|
|
states, but see also :doc:`devlink-health`

|
|
|
.. code:: shell

# Show all of the exposed regions with region sizes:
|
|
$ devlink region show

|
|

|
|
|
|
# Delete a snapshot using:
|
|
$ devlink region del pci/0000:00:05.0/cr-space snapshot 1

|
|
|
# Trigger (request) a snapshot be taken:
|
|
$ devlink region trigger pci/0000:00:05.0/cr-space
|
|
|
|
# Dump a snapshot:
|
|
$ devlink region dump pci/0000:00:05.0/fw-health snapshot 1

As regions are likely very device or driver specific, no generic regions are
|
|
defined. See the driver-specific documentation files for information on the
|
|
specific regions a driver supports.
