====================
This series extends RTNETLINK to provide IB port and node GUIDs, which
were configured for Infiniband VFs.
The functionality to set VF GUIDs already existed for a long time, and
here we are adding the missing "get" so that netlink will be symmetric and
various cloud orchestration tools will be able to manage such VFs more
naturally.
The iproute2 was extended too to present those GUIDs.
- ip link show <device>
For example:
- ip link set ib4 vf 0 node_guid 22:44:33:00:33:11:00:33
- ip link set ib4 vf 0 port_guid 10:21:33:12:00:11:22:10
- ip link show ib4
ib4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 4092 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 256
link/infiniband 00:00:0a:2d:fe:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:ec:0d:9a:03:00:44:36:8d brd 00:ff:ff:ff:ff:12:40:1b:ff:ff:00:00:00:00:00:00:ff:ff:ff:ff
