net: Add netlink support for virtual port management (was iovnl)
Add new netdev ops ndo_{set|get}_vf_port to allow setting of
port-profile on a netdev interface. Extends netlink socket RTM_SETLINK/
RTM_GETLINK with two new sub msgs called IFLA_VF_PORTS and IFLA_PORT_SELF
(added to end of IFLA_cmd list). These are both nested atrtibutes
using this layout:
[IFLA_NUM_VF]
[IFLA_VF_PORTS]
[IFLA_VF_PORT]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
[IFLA_VF_PORT]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
...
[IFLA_PORT_SELF]
[IFLA_PORT_*], ...
These attributes are design to be set and get symmetrically. VF_PORTS
is a list of VF_PORTs, one for each VF, when dealing with an SR-IOV
device. PORT_SELF is for the PF of the SR-IOV device, in case it wants
to also have a port-profile, or for the case where the VF==PF, like in
enic patch 2/2 of this patch set.
A port-profile is used to configure/enable the external switch virtual port
backing the netdev interface, not to configure the host-facing side of the
netdev. A port-profile is an identifier known to the switch. How port-
profiles are installed on the switch or how available port-profiles are
made know to the host is outside the scope of this patch.
There are two types of port-profiles specs in the netlink msg. The first spec
is for 802.1Qbg (pre-)standard, VDP protocol. The second spec is for devices
that run a similar protocol as VDP but in firmware, thus hiding the protocol
details. In either case, the specs have much in common and makes sense to
define the netlink msg as the union of the two specs. For example, both specs
have a notition of associating/deassociating a port-profile. And both specs
require some information from the hypervisor manager, such as client port
instance ID.
The general flow is the port-profile is applied to a host netdev interface
using RTM_SETLINK, the receiver of the RTM_SETLINK msg communicates with the
switch, and the switch virtual port backing the host netdev interface is
configured/enabled based on the settings defined by the port-profile. What
those settings comprise, and how those settings are managed is again
outside the scope of this patch, since this patch only deals with the
first step in the flow.
