net/mlx5: Consolidate devlink documentation in devlink/mlx5.rst

De-duplicate documentation by removing mellanox/mlx5/devlink.rst. Instead,
only use the generic devlink documentation directory to document mlx5
devlink parameters. Avoid providing general devlink tool usage information
in mlx5-specific documentation.

-Info
-====
-
-The devlink info reports the running and stored firmware versions on device.
-It also prints the device PSID which represents the HCA board type ID.
-
-User command example::
-
-   $ devlink dev info pci/0000:00:06.0
-      pci/0000:00:06.0:
-      driver mlx5_core
-      versions:
-         fixed:
-            fw.psid MT_0000000009
-         running:
-            fw.version 16.26.0100
-         stored:
-            fw.version 16.26.0100
-
-Parameters
-==========
-
-flow_steering_mode: Device flow steering mode
----------------------------------------------
-The flow steering mode parameter controls the flow steering mode of the driver.
-Two modes are supported:
-
-1. 'dmfs' - Device managed flow steering.
-2. 'smfs' - Software/Driver managed flow steering.
-
-In DMFS mode, the HW steering entities are created and managed through the
-Firmware.
-In SMFS mode, the HW steering entities are created and managed though by
-the driver directly into hardware without firmware intervention.
-
-SMFS mode is faster and provides better rule insertion rate compared to default DMFS mode.
-
-User command examples:
-
-- Set SMFS flow steering mode::
-
-    $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode value "smfs" cmode runtime
-
-- Read device flow steering mode::
-
-    $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode
-      pci/0000:06:00.0:
-      name flow_steering_mode type driver-specific
-      values:
-         cmode runtime value smfs
-
-enable_roce: RoCE enablement state
-----------------------------------
-If the device supports RoCE disablement, RoCE enablement state controls device
-support for RoCE capability. Otherwise, the control occurs in the driver stack.
-When RoCE is disabled at the driver level, only raw ethernet QPs are supported.
-
-To change RoCE enablement state, a user must change the driverinit cmode value
-and run devlink reload.
-
-User command examples:
-
-- Disable RoCE::
-
-    $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name enable_roce value false cmode driverinit
-    $ devlink dev reload pci/0000:06:00.0
-
-- Read RoCE enablement state::
-
-    $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name enable_roce
-      pci/0000:06:00.0:
-      name enable_roce type generic
-      values:
-         cmode driverinit value true
-
-esw_port_metadata: Eswitch port metadata state
-----------------------------------------------
-When applicable, disabling eswitch metadata can increase packet rate
-up to 20% depending on the use case and packet sizes.
-
-Eswitch port metadata state controls whether to internally tag packets with
-metadata. Metadata tagging must be enabled for multi-port RoCE, failover
-between representors and stacked devices.
-By default metadata is enabled on the supported devices in E-switch.
-Metadata is applicable only for E-switch in switchdev mode and
-users may disable it when NONE of the below use cases will be in use:
-
-1. HCA is in Dual/multi-port RoCE mode.
-2. VF/SF representor bonding (Usually used for Live migration)
-3. Stacked devices
-
-When metadata is disabled, the above use cases will fail to initialize if
-users try to enable them.
-
-- Show eswitch port metadata::
-
-    $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata
-      pci/0000:06:00.0:
-        name esw_port_metadata type driver-specific
-          values:
-            cmode runtime value true
-
-- Disable eswitch port metadata::
-
-    $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata value false cmode runtime
-
-- Change eswitch mode to switchdev mode where after choosing the metadata value::
-
-    $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev
-
-hairpin_num_queues: Number of hairpin queues
---------------------------------------------
-We refer to a TC NIC rule that involves forwarding as "hairpin".
-
-Hairpin queues are mlx5 hardware specific implementation for hardware
-forwarding of such packets.
-
-- Show the number of hairpin queues::
-
-    $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name hairpin_num_queues
-      pci/0000:06:00.0:
-        name hairpin_num_queues type driver-specific
-          values:
-            cmode driverinit value 2
-
-- Change the number of hairpin queues::
-
-    $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name hairpin_num_queues value 4 cmode driverinit
-
-hairpin_queue_size: Size of the hairpin queues
-----------------------------------------------
-Control the size of the hairpin queues.
-
-- Show the size of the hairpin queues::
-
-    $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name hairpin_queue_size
-      pci/0000:06:00.0:
-        name hairpin_queue_size type driver-specific
-          values:
-            cmode driverinit value 1024
-
-- Change the size (in packets) of the hairpin queues::
-
-    $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name hairpin_queue_size value 512 cmode driverinit
-
-Health reporters
-================
-
-tx reporter
------------
-The tx reporter is responsible for reporting and recovering of the following two error scenarios:
-
-- tx timeout
-    Report on kernel tx timeout detection.
-    Recover by searching lost interrupts.
-- tx error completion
-    Report on error tx completion.
-    Recover by flushing the tx queue and reset it.
-
-tx reporter also support on demand diagnose callback, on which it provides
-real time information of its send queues status.
-
-User commands examples:
-
-- Diagnose send queues status::
-
-    $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter tx
-
-.. note::
-   This command has valid output only when interface is up, otherwise the command has empty output.
-
-- Show number of tx errors indicated, number of recover flows ended successfully,
-  is autorecover enabled and graceful period from last recover::
-
-    $ devlink health show pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter tx
-
-rx reporter
------------
-The rx reporter is responsible for reporting and recovering of the following two error scenarios:
-
-- rx queues' initialization (population) timeout
-    Population of rx queues' descriptors on ring initialization is done
-    in napi context via triggering an irq. In case of a failure to get
-    the minimum amount of descriptors, a timeout would occur, and
-    descriptors could be recovered by polling the EQ (Event Queue).
-- rx completions with errors (reported by HW on interrupt context)
-    Report on rx completion error.
-    Recover (if needed) by flushing the related queue and reset it.
-
-rx reporter also supports on demand diagnose callback, on which it
-provides real time information of its receive queues' status.
-
-- Diagnose rx queues' status and corresponding completion queue::
-
-    $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter rx
-
-NOTE: This command has valid output only when interface is up. Otherwise, the command has empty output.
-
-- Show number of rx errors indicated, number of recover flows ended successfully,
-  is autorecover enabled, and graceful period from last recover::
-
-    $ devlink health show pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter rx
-
-fw reporter
------------
-The fw reporter implements `diagnose` and `dump` callbacks.
-It follows symptoms of fw error such as fw syndrome by triggering
-fw core dump and storing it into the dump buffer.
-The fw reporter diagnose command can be triggered any time by the user to check
-current fw status.
-
-User commands examples:
-
-- Check fw heath status::
-
-    $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw
-
-- Read FW core dump if already stored or trigger new one::
-
-    $ devlink health dump show pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw
-
-.. note::
-   This command can run only on the PF which has fw tracer ownership,
-   running it on other PF or any VF will return "Operation not permitted".
-
-fw fatal reporter
------------------
-The fw fatal reporter implements `dump` and `recover` callbacks.
-It follows fatal errors indications by CR-space dump and recover flow.
-The CR-space dump uses vsc interface which is valid even if the FW command
-interface is not functional, which is the case in most FW fatal errors.
-The recover function runs recover flow which reloads the driver and triggers fw
-reset if needed.
-On firmware error, the health buffer is dumped into the dmesg. The log
-level is derived from the error's severity (given in health buffer).
-
-User commands examples:
-
-- Run fw recover flow manually::
-
-    $ devlink health recover pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw_fatal
-
-- Read FW CR-space dump if already stored or trigger new one::
-
-    $ devlink health dump show pci/0000:82:00.1 reporter fw_fatal
-
-.. note::
-   This command can run only on PF.
-
-vnic reporter
--------------
-The vnic reporter implements only the `diagnose` callback.
-It is responsible for querying the vnic diagnostic counters from fw and displaying
-them in realtime.
-
-Description of the vnic counters:
-
-- total_q_under_processor_handle
-        number of queues in an error state due to
-        an async error or errored command.
-- send_queue_priority_update_flow
-        number of QP/SQ priority/SL update events.
-- cq_overrun
-        number of times CQ entered an error state due to an overflow.
-- async_eq_overrun
-        number of times an EQ mapped to async events was overrun.
-        comp_eq_overrun number of times an EQ mapped to completion events was
-        overrun.
-- quota_exceeded_command
-        number of commands issued and failed due to quota exceeded.
-- invalid_command
-        number of commands issued and failed dues to any reason other than quota
-        exceeded.
-- nic_receive_steering_discard
-        number of packets that completed RX flow
-        steering but were discarded due to a mismatch in flow table.
-- generated_pkt_steering_fail
-	number of packets generated by the VNIC experiencing unexpected steering
-	failure (at any point in steering flow).
-- handled_pkt_steering_fail
-	number of packets handled by the VNIC experiencing unexpected steering
-	failure (at any point in steering flow owned by the VNIC, including the FDB
-	for the eswitch owner).
-
-User commands examples:
-
-- Diagnose PF/VF vnic counters::
-
-        $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.1 reporter vnic
-
-- Diagnose representor vnic counters (performed by supplying devlink port of the
-  representor, which can be obtained via devlink port command)::
-
-        $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.1/65537 reporter vnic
-
-.. note::
-   This command can run over all interfaces such as PF/VF and representor ports.
