Drivers may implement applicable generic + devlink params, or may add new device-specific devlink params. +- Resources: a monitoring feature which enables users to see the degree of + utilization of certain hardware tables in the device, such as FDB, VLAN, etc. +- Shared buffers: a QoS feature for adjusting and partitioning memory and frame + reservations per port and per traffic class, in the ingress and egress + directions, such that low-priority bulk traffic does not impede the + processing of high-priority critical traffic. + +For more details, consult ``Documentation/networking/devlink/``. + Device Tree -----------
