The IB layer provides a common interface to store and get net devices associated to an IB device port (ib_device_set_netdev() and ib_device_get_netdev()). Previously, mlx5_ib stored and managed the associated net devices internally. Replace internal net device management in mlx5_ib with ib_device_set_netdev() when attaching/detaching a net device and ib_device_get_netdev() when retrieving the net device. Export ib_device_get_netdev(). For mlx5 representors/PFs/VFs and lag creation we replace the netdev assignments with the IB set/get netdev functions. In active-backup mode lag the active slave net device is stored in the lag itself. To assure the net device stored in a lag bond IB device is the active slave we implement the following: - mlx5_core: when modifying the slave of a bond we send the internal driver event MLX5_DRIVER_EVENT_ACTIVE_BACKUP_LAG_CHANGE_LOWERSTATE. - mlx5_ib: when catching the event call ib_device_set_netdev() This patch also ensures the correct IB events are sent in switchdev lag. While at it, when in multiport eswitch mode, only a single IB device is created for all ports. The said IB device will receive all netdev events of its VFs once loaded, thus to avoid overwriting the mapping of PF IB device to PF netdev, ignore NETDEV_REGISTER events if the ib device has already been mapped to a netdev.

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 reStructuredText 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.
