NVIDIA Mellanox SN4800 is an example of such. It contains 8 slots to accomodate line cards. Available line cards include: 16X 100GbE (QSFP28) 8X 200GbE (QSFP56) 4X 400GbE (QSFP-DD) Similar to split cabels, it is essencial for the correctness of configuration and funcionality to treat the line card entities in the same way, no matter the line card is inserted or not. Meaning, the netdevice of a line card port cannot just disappear when line card is removed. Also, system admin needs to be able to apply configuration on netdevices belonging to line card port even before the linecard gets inserted. To resolve this, a concept of "provisioning" is introduced. The user may "provision" certain slot with a line card type. Driver then creates all instances (devlink ports, netdevices, etc) related to this line card type. The carrier of netdevices stays down. Once the line card is inserted and activated, the carrier of the related netdevices goes up. Once user does not want to use the line card related instances anymore, he can "unprovision" the slot. Driver then removes the instances. Patches 1-5 are extending devlink driver API and UAPI in order to register, show, dump, provision and activate the line card. Patches 6-9 are implementing the introduced API in netdevsim Example: # Create a new netdevsim device, with no ports and 2 line cards: $ echo "10 0 2" >/sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device $ devlink port # No ports are listed $ devlink lc netdevsim/netdevsim10: lc 0 state unprovisioned supported_types: card1port card2ports card4ports lc 1 state unprovisioned supported_types: card1port card2ports card4ports # Note that driver advertizes supported line card types. In case of # netdevsim, these are 3. $ devlink lc provision netdevsim/netdevsim10 lc 0 type card4ports $ devlink lc netdevsim/netdevsim10: lc 0 state provisioned type card4ports supported_types: card1port card2ports card4ports lc 1 state unprovisioned supported_types: card1port card2ports card4ports $ devlink port netdevsim/netdevsim10/1000: type eth netdev eni10nl0p1 flavour physical lc 0 port 1 splittable false netdevsim/netdevsim10/1001: type eth netdev eni10nl0p2 flavour physical lc 0 port 2 splittable false netdevsim/netdevsim10/1002: type eth netdev eni10nl0p3 flavour physical lc 0 port 3 splittable false netdevsim/netdevsim10/1003: type eth netdev eni10nl0p4 flavour physical lc 0 port 4 splittable false # ^^ ^^^^ # netdev name adjusted index of a line card this port belongs to $ ip link set eni10nl0p1 up $ ip link show eni10nl0p1 165: eni10nl0p1: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 7e:2d:05:93:d3:d1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff # Now activate the line card using debugfs.
