devlink: Expose port function commands to control IPsec crypto offloads
Expose port function commands to enable / disable IPsec crypto offloads, this is used to control the port IPsec capabilities. When IPsec crypto is disabled for a function of the port (default), function cannot offload any IPsec crypto operations (Encrypt/Decrypt and XFRM state offloading). When enabled, IPsec crypto operations can be offloaded by the function of the port. Example of a PCI VF port which supports IPsec crypto offloads: $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1 pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf0 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 0 function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 roce enable ipsec_crypto disable $ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/1 ipsec_crypto enable $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1 pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf0 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 0 function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 roce enable ipsec_crypto enable Signed-off-by: Dima Chumak <dchumak@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230825062836.103744-2-saeed@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
