      7This document describes the devlink features implemented by the ``ice``
      8device driver.

     10Info versions
     11=============
     12
     13The ``ice`` driver reports the following versions

     16    :widths: 5 5 5 90
     17
     18    * - Name
     19      - Type
     20      - Example
     21      - Description
     22    * - ``board.id``
     23      - fixed
     24      - K65390-000
     25      - The Product Board Assembly (PBA) identifier of the board.
     26    * - ``fw.mgmt``
     27      - running
     28      - 2.1.7
     29      - 3-digit version number of the management firmware running on the
     30        Embedded Management Processor of the device. It controls the PHY,
     31        link, access to device resources, etc. Intel documentation refers to
     32        this as the EMP firmware.
     33    * - ``fw.mgmt.api``
     34      - running
     35      - 1.5.1
     36      - 3-digit version number (major.minor.patch) of the API exported over
     37        the AdminQ by the management firmware. Used by the driver to
     38        identify what commands are supported. Historical versions of the
     39        kernel only displayed a 2-digit version number (major.minor).
     40    * - ``fw.mgmt.build``
     41      - running
     42      - 0x305d955f
     43      - Unique identifier of the source for the management firmware.
     44    * - ``fw.undi``
     45      - running
     46      - 1.2581.0
     47      - Version of the Option ROM containing the UEFI driver. The version is
     48        reported in ``major.minor.patch`` format. The major version is
     49        incremented whenever a major breaking change occurs, or when the
     50        minor version would overflow. The minor version is incremented for
     51        non-breaking changes and reset to 1 when the major version is
     52        incremented. The patch version is normally 0 but is incremented when
     53        a fix is delivered as a patch against an older base Option ROM.
     54    * - ``fw.psid.api``
     55      - running
     56      - 0.80
     57      - Version defining the format of the flash contents.
     58    * - ``fw.bundle_id``
     59      - running
     60      - 0x80002ec0
     61      - Unique identifier of the firmware image file that was loaded onto
     62        the device. Also referred to as the EETRACK identifier of the NVM.
     63    * - ``fw.app.name``
     64      - running
     65      - ICE OS Default Package
     66      - The name of the DDP package that is active in the device. The DDP
     67        package is loaded by the driver during initialization. Each
     68        variation of the DDP package has a unique name.
     69    * - ``fw.app``
     70      - running
     71      - 1.3.1.0
     72      - The version of the DDP package that is active in the device. Note
     73        that both the name (as reported by ``fw.app.name``) and version are
     74        required to uniquely identify the package.
     75    * - ``fw.app.bundle_id``
     76      - running
     77      - 0xc0000001
     78      - Unique identifier for the DDP package loaded in the device. Also
     79        referred to as the DDP Track ID. Can be used to uniquely identify
     80        the specific DDP package.
     81    * - ``fw.netlist``
     82      - running
     83      - 1.1.2000-6.7.0
     84      - The version of the netlist module. This module defines the device's
     85        Ethernet capabilities and default settings, and is used by the
     86        management firmware as part of managing link and device
     87        connectivity.
     88    * - ``fw.netlist.build``
     89      - running
     90      - 0xee16ced7
     91      - The first 4 bytes of the hash of the netlist module contents.
     92
     93Flash Update
     94============
     95
     96The ``ice`` driver implements support for flash update using the
     97``devlink-flash`` interface. It supports updating the device flash using a
     98combined flash image that contains the ``fw.mgmt``, ``fw.undi``, and
     99``fw.netlist`` components.
    100
    101.. list-table:: List of supported overwrite modes
    102   :widths: 5 95
    103
    104   * - Bits
    105     - Behavior
    106   * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS``
    107     - Do not preserve settings stored in the flash components being
    108       updated. This includes overwriting the port configuration that
    109       determines the number of physical functions the device will
    110       initialize with.
    111   * - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS`` and ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS``
    112     - Do not preserve either settings or identifiers. Overwrite everything
    113       in the flash with the contents from the provided image, without
    114       performing any preservation. This includes overwriting device
    115       identifying fields such as the MAC address, VPD area, and device
    116       serial number. It is expected that this combination be used with an
    117       image customized for the specific device.
    118
    119The ice hardware does not support overwriting only identifiers while
    120preserving settings, and thus ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS`` on its
    121own will be rejected. If no overwrite mask is provided, the firmware will be
    122instructed to preserve all settings and identifying fields when updating.
    123
    124Reload
    125======
    126
    127The ``ice`` driver supports activating new firmware after a flash update
    128using ``DEVLINK_CMD_RELOAD`` with the ``DEVLINK_RELOAD_ACTION_FW_ACTIVATE``
    129action.
    130
    131.. code:: shell
    132
    133    $ devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0 reload action fw_activate
    134
    135The new firmware is activated by issuing a device specific Embedded
    136Management Processor reset which requests the device to reset and reload the
    137EMP firmware image.
    138
    139The driver does not currently support reloading the driver via
    140``DEVLINK_RELOAD_ACTION_DRIVER_REINIT``.
    141
    142Regions
    143=======
    144
    145The ``ice`` driver implements the following regions for accessing internal
    146device data.
    147
    148.. list-table:: regions implemented
    149    :widths: 15 85

    151    * - Name
    152      - Description
    153    * - ``nvm-flash``
    154      - The contents of the entire flash chip, sometimes referred to as
    155        the device's Non Volatile Memory.
    156    * - ``device-caps``
    157      - The contents of the device firmware's capabilities buffer. Useful to
    158        determine the current state and configuration of the device.
    159
    160Users can request an immediate capture of a snapshot via the
    161``DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW``
