Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Add extended ACK for EMADs Shalom says: Ethernet Management Datagrams (EMADs) are Ethernet packets sent between the driver and device's firmware. They are used to pass various configurations to the device, but also to get events (e.g., port up) from it. After the Ethernet header, these packets are built in a TLV format. Up until now, whenever the driver issued an erroneous register access it only got an error code indicating a bad parameter was used. This patch set adds a new TLV (string TLV) that can be used by the firmware to encode a 128 character string describing the error. The new TLV is allocated by the driver and set to zeros. In case of error, the driver will check the length of the string in the response and report it using devlink hwerr tracepoint. Example: $ perf record -a -q -e devlink:devlink_hwerr & $ pkill -2 perf $ perf script -F trace:event,trace | grep hwerr devlink:devlink_hwerr: bus_name=pci dev_name=0000:03:00.0 driver_name=mlxsw_spectrum err=7 (tid=9913892d00001593,reg_id=8018(rauhtd)) bad parameter (inside er_rauhtd_write_query(), num_rec=32 is over the maximum number of records supported) Patch #1 parses the offsets of the different TLVs in incoming EMADs and stores them in the skb's control block. This makes it easier to later add new TLVs. Patches #2-#3 remove deprecated TLVs and add string TLV definition. Patches #4-#7 gradually add support for the new string TLV. v2: * Use existing devlink hwerr tracepoint to report the error string, instead of printing it to kernel log ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
