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.
|
|
|
|
Snapshot identifiers are scoped to the devlink instance, not a region.
|
|
All snapshots with the same snapshot id within a devlink instance
|
|
correspond to the same event.
|
|
|
|
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`
|
|
|
|
Regions may optionally support capturing a snapshot on demand via the
|
|
``DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW`` netlink message. A driver wishing to allow
|
|
requested snapshots must implement the ``.snapshot`` callback for the region
|
|
in its ``devlink_region_ops`` structure. If snapshot id is not set in
|
|
the ``DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW`` request kernel will allocate one and send
|
|
the snapshot information to user space.

example usage
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ devlink region help
|
|
$ devlink region show [ DEV/REGION ]
|
|
$ devlink region del DEV/REGION snapshot SNAPSHOT_ID
|
|
$ devlink region dump DEV/REGION [ snapshot SNAPSHOT_ID ]
|
|
$ devlink region read DEV/REGION [ snapshot SNAPSHOT_ID ] address ADDRESS length length
|
|
|

# Show all of the exposed regions with region sizes:
|
|
$ devlink region show
|
|
pci/0000:00:05.0/cr-space: size 1048576 snapshot [1 2]
|
|
pci/0000:00:05.0/fw-health: size 64 snapshot [1 2]
|
|
|
|
# Delete a snapshot using:
|
|
$ devlink region del pci/0000:00:05.0/cr-space snapshot 1
|
|
|
|
# Request an immediate snapshot, if supported by the region
|
|
$ devlink region new pci/0000:00:05.0/cr-space
|
|
pci/0000:00:05.0/cr-space: snapshot 5
|
|
|
|
# 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.
