[PATCH 0/4] ethdev: rework config restore

[Dariusz Sosnowski]

This patch series reworks the config restore procedure,
so that drivers are able to enable/disable certain parts of it.
Drivers can provide get_restore_flags() callback,
which will indicate to ethdev library what configuration to restore.

If callback is not defined, then ethdev assumes that
all configuration must be restored, preserving the current behavior for all drivers.

This patch series also includes implementation of get_restore_flags()
for mlx5 PMD, which does not require config restore.

[PATCH 2/4] ethdev: add get restore flags driver callback

[Dariusz Sosnowski]

Before this patch, ethdev layer assumed that all drivers require that
it has to forcefully restore:

- MAC addresses
- promiscuous mode setting
- all multicast mode setting

upon rte_eth_dev_start().

This patch introduces a new callback to eth_dev_ops -
get_restore_flags().
Drivers implementing this callback can explicitly enable/disable
certain parts of config restore procedure.

In order to minimize the changes to all the drivers and
preserve the current behavior, it is assumed that
if this callback is not defined, all configuration should be restored.

[PATCH v2 3/4] ethdev: restore config only when requested

[Dariusz Sosnowski]

Use get_restore_flags() internal API introduced in previous commits
in rte_eth_dev_start(), to restore only the configuration
requested by the driver.

[PATCH v2 4/4] net/mlx5: disable config restore

[Dariusz Sosnowski]

mlx5 PMD does not require configuration restore
on rte_eth_dev_start().
Add implementation of get_restore_flags() indicating that.

I would go with uint64_t for flags (to avoid limitations in future).
Also, If it is void anyway, might be just return flags?
i.e:
uint64_t  +rte_eth_get_restore_flags(struct rte_eth_dev *dev, enum rte_eth_dev_operation op);

Another thing - do we need to do update docs?
PMD or PG sections, release notes?

For new function we probably need 'rte_experimental'...
But from other side - it is internal.
Not sure what are rules here for such case.

IIRC new additions and internal changes in ethdev are not advertised in release notes.

[PATCH v3 0/4] ethdev: rework config restore

[Dariusz Sosnowski]

This patch series reworks the config restore procedure,
so that drivers are able to enable/disable certain parts of it.
Drivers can provide get_restore_flags() callback,
which will indicate to ethdev library what configuration to restore.

If callback is not defined, then ethdev assumes that
all configuration must be restored, preserving the current behavior for all drivers.

This patch series also includes implementation of get_restore_flags()
for mlx5 PMD, which does not require config restore.

RFC: https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/20240918092201.33772-1-dsosnowski@nvidia.com/

v3:
- Change type for restore flags to uint64_t.
- Return restore flags from rte_eth_get_restore_flags() directly,
  instead of returning through pointer.
v2:
- Fix typos in API docs.

[PATCH v3 1/4] ethdev: rework config restore

[Dariusz Sosnowski]

Extract promiscuous and all multicast configuration restore
to separate functions.
This change will allow easier integration of disabling
these procedures for supporting PMDs in follow up commits.

[PATCH v3 2/4] ethdev: add get restore flags driver callback

[Dariusz Sosnowski]

Before this patch, ethdev layer assumed that all drivers require that
it has to forcefully restore:

- MAC addresses
- promiscuous mode setting
- all multicast mode setting

upon rte_eth_dev_start().

This patch introduces a new callback to eth_dev_ops -
get_restore_flags().
Drivers implementing this callback can explicitly enable/disable
certain parts of config restore procedure.

In order to minimize the changes to all the drivers and
preserve the current behavior, it is assumed that
if this callback is not defined, all configuration should be restored.

[PATCH v3 3/4] ethdev: restore config only when requested

[Dariusz Sosnowski]

Use get_restore_flags() internal API introduced in previous commits
in rte_eth_dev_start(), to restore only the configuration
requested by the driver.
