vdpa: Define vdpa mgmt device, ops and a netlink interface
To add one or more VDPA devices, define a management device which allows adding or removing vdpa device. A management device defines set of callbacks to manage vdpa devices. To begin with, it defines add and remove callbacks through which a user defined vdpa device can be added or removed. A unique management device is identified by its unique handle identified by management device name and optionally the bus name. Hence, introduce routine through which driver can register a management device and its callback operations for adding and remove a vdpa device. Introduce vdpa netlink socket family so that user can query management device and its attributes. Example of show vdpa management device which allows creating vdpa device of networking class (device id = 0x1) of virtio specification 1.1 section 5.1.1. $ vdpa mgmtdev show vdpasim_net: supported_classes: net Example of showing vdpa management device in JSON format. $ vdpa mgmtdev show -jp { "show": { "vdpasim_net": { "supported_classes": [ "net" ] } } } Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Eli Cohen <elic@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210105103203.82508-4-parav@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Michael S.
