Several drivers document what parameters they support in a devlink-params-*.txt file. This file is supposed to contain both the list of generic parameters implemented by the driver, as well as a list of driver-specific parameters and their descriptions. It would also be good if the driver documentation included other driver-specific implementations, such as info versions, devlink regions, and so forth. Convert all of these documentation files to reStructuredText, and rename them to just the driver name. Future changes will include other driver-specific implementations. Each file will contain a table for the generic parameters implemented, as well as a separate table for the driver-specific parameters. Future sections such as for devlink info versions will be added to these files. This avoids creating additional devlink-<feature>-<driver> files for each devlink feature, reducing clutter in the documentation folder.

mlx5 devlink support
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
This document describes the devlink features implemented by the ``mlx5``
|
|
device driver.
|
|
|
|
Parameters
|

The ``mlx5`` driver also implements the following driver-specific
|
|
parameters.

|
- Type
|
|
- Mode
|
|
- Description
|
|
* - ``flow_steering_mode``
|
|
- string
|
|
- runtime
|
|
- Controls the flow steering mode of the driver
|
|
|
|
* ``dmfs`` Device managed flow steering. In DMFS mode, the HW
|
|
steering entities are created and managed through firmware.
|
|
* ``smfs`` Software managed flow steering. In SMFS mode, the HW
|
|
steering entities are created and manage through the driver without
|
|
firmware intervention.
|
|
|
|
The ``mlx5`` driver supports reloading via ``DEVLINK_CMD_RELOAD``
