Devlink health reporting and recovery system
The health mechanism is targeted for Real Time Alerting, in order to know when
something bad had happened to a PCI device
- Provide alert debug information
- Self healing
- If problem needs vendor support, provide a way to gather all needed debugging
information.
The main idea is to unify and centralize driver health reports in the
generic devlink instance and allow the user to set different
attributes of the health reporting and recovery procedures.
The devlink health reporter:
Device driver creates a "health reporter" per each error/health type.
Error/Health type can be a known/generic (eg pci error, fw error, rx/tx error)
or unknown (driver specific).
For each registered health reporter a driver can issue error/health reports
asynchronously. All health reports handling is done by devlink.
Device driver can provide specific callbacks for each "health reporter", e.g.
- Recovery procedures
- Diagnostics and object dump procedures
- OOB initial attributes
Different parts of the driver can register different types of health reporters
with different handlers.
Once an error is reported, devlink health will do the following actions:
* A log is being send to the kernel trace events buffer
* Health status and statistics are being updated for the reporter instance
* Object dump is being taken and saved at the reporter instance (as long as
there is no other dump which is already stored)
* Auto recovery attempt is being done. Depends on:
- Auto-recovery configuration
- Grace period vs. time passed since last recover
The user interface:
User can access/change each reporter attributes and driver specific callbacks
via devlink, e.g per error type (per health reporter)
- Configure reporter's generic attributes (like: Disable/enable auto recovery)
- Invoke recovery procedure
- Run diagnostics
- Object dump
The devlink health interface (via netlink):
DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_GET
Retrieves status and configuration info per DEV and reporter.
DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_SET
Allows reporter-related configuration setting.
DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_RECOVER
Triggers a reporter's recovery procedure.
DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DIAGNOSE
Retrieves diagnostics data from a reporter on a device.
DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DUMP_GET
Retrieves the last stored dump. Devlink health
saves a single dump. If an dump is not already stored by the devlink
for this reporter, devlink generates a new dump.
dump output is defined by the reporter.
DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DUMP_CLEAR
Clears the last saved dump file for the specified reporter.

In this patchset, mlx5e TX reporter is implemented.
Cmdline format:
devlink health show [DEV reporter REPORTE_NAME]
devlink health recover DEV reporter REPORTER_NAME
devlink health diagnose DEV reporter REPORTER_NAME
devlink health dump show DEV reporter REPORTER_NAME
devlink health dump clear DEV reporter REPORTER_NAME
devlink health set DEV reporter REPORTER_NAME NAME VALUE
Cmdline examples:
$devlink health show
pci/0000:00:09.0:
name tx
state healthy #err 1 #recover 0 last_dump_ts N/A
parameters:
grace_period 500 auto_recover false
$devlink health diagnose pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter tx -j -p
{
"SQs": [ {
"sqn": 138,
"HW state": 1,
"stopped": false
},{
"sqn": 142,
"HW state": 1,
"stopped": false
} ]
}
$devlink health diagnose pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter tx
SQs:
sqn: 138 HW state: 1 stopped: false
sqn: 142 HW state: 1 stopped: false
$devlink health recover pci/0000:00:09 reporter tx
$devlink health set pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter tx grace_period 3500
$devlink health set pci/0000:00:09.0 reporter tx auto_recover false
Changelog:
v4:
- Rebase on latest net-next
- Remove trace_devlink_health signature exposure in case CONFIG_NET_DEVLINK is
not defined as it shall only be used from devlink.
v3:
- Redesign of devlink <-> driver fmsg API
- Various bug fixes
v2:
- Remove FW* reporters to decrease the amount of patches in the patchset

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 Restructured Text 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.
