So you register a no-op netdev which is only used to represent the
modem instance, and to be referenced for link creation over IOSM
rtnetlinks?
The new WWAN framework creates a logical WWAN device instance (e.g;
/sys/class/wwan0), I think it would make sense to use its index as
parameter when creating the new links, instead of relying on this
dummy netdev. Note that for now the wwan_device is private to
wwan_core and created implicitly on the WWAN control port
registration.
Moreover I wonder if it could also be possible to create a generic
WWAN link type instead of creating yet-another hw specific one, that
could benefit future WWAN drivers, and simplify user side integration,
with a common interface to create links and multiplex PDN (a bit like
wlan vif).

So basically the rtnetlink ops would be implemented and define in
wwan_core, as "wwan" link  type.
Allowing users to create a new WWAN link/context whatever the
underlying hardware is. We could therefore pass the WWAN device name
or index to e.g:
ip link add wwan0.1 type wwan hw wwan0 session 1

Well, move rtnetlink ops to wwan_core (or wwan_rtnetlink), and parse
netlink parameters into the wwan core. Add support for registering
`wwan_ops`, something like:
wwan_register_ops(wwan_ops *ops, struct device *wwan_root_device)

The ops could be basically:
struct wwan_ops {
    int (*add_intf)(struct device *wwan_root_device, const char *name,
struct wwan_intf_params *params);
    int (*del_intf) ...
}

Then you could implement your own ops in iosm, with ios_add_intf()
allocating and registering the netdev as you already do.
struct wwan_intf_params would contain parameters of the interface,
like the session_id (and possibly extended later with others, like
checksum offload, etc...).

What do you think?

I also plan to submit a change to add a wwan_register_netdevice()
function (similarly to WiFi cfg80211_register_netdevice), that could
be used instead of register_netdevice(), basically factorizing wwan
netdev registration (add "wwan" dev_type, add sysfs link to the 'wwan'
device...).

Note that I kind of tried this in my version back when:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200225105149.59963c95aa29.Id0e40565452d0d5bb9ce5cc00b8755ec96db8559@changeid/#Z30include:net:wwan.h

See struct wwan_component_device_ops.

I had a different *generic* netlink family rather than rtnetlink ops,
but that's mostly an implementation detail. I tend to like genetlink
better, but having rtnetlink makes it easier in iproute2 (though it has
some generic netlink code too, of course.)

Nobody really seemed all that interested back then.

And frankly, I'm really annoyed that while all of this played out we let
QMI enter the tree with their home-grown stuff (and dummy netdevs,
FWIW), *then* said the IOSM driver has to go to rtnetlink ops like them,
instead of what older drivers are doing, and *now* are shifting
goalposts again towards something like the framework I started writing
early on for the IOSM driver, while the QMI driver was happening, and
nobody cared ...

Yeah, life's not fair and all that, but it does kind of feel like
arbitrary shifting of the goal posts, while QMI is already in tree. Of
course it's not like we have a competition with them here, but having
some help from there would've been nice. Oh well.

Not that I disagree with any of this, it does technically make sense.

However, I think at this point it'd be good to see some comments here
from DaveM/Jakub that they're going to force Qualcomm to also go down
this route, because they're now *heavily* invested in their own APIs,
and inventing a framework just for the IOSM driver is fairly pointless.

Be careful with that, I tend to think we made some mistakes in this
area, look at the recent locking things there. We used to do stuff from
a netdev notifier, and that has caused all kinds of pain recently when I
reworked the locking to not be so overly dependent on the RTNL all the
time (which really has become the new BKL, at least for desktop work,
sometimes I can't even type in the UI when the RTNL is blocked). So
wwan_register_netdevice() is probably fine, doing netdev notifier I'd
now recommend against.
But in any case, that's just a side thread.

Yes, I guess it's all about timings... At least, I care now...
I've recently worked on the mhi_net driver, which is basically the
netdev driver for Qualcomm PCIe modems. MHI being similar to IOSM
(exposing logical channels over PCI). Like QCOM USB variants, data can
be transferred in QMAP format (I guess what you call QMI), via the
`rmnet` link type (setup via iproute2).

This a legitimate point, but it's not too late to do the 'right'
thing, + It should not be too much change in the IOSM driver.

Regarding Qualcomm, I think it should be possible to fit QCOM Modem
drivers into that solution. It would consist of creating a simple
wrapper in QMAP/rmnet so that the rmnet link can (also) be created
from the kernel side (e.g. from mhi_net driver):
wwan_new_link() => wwan->add_intf_cb() => mhi_net_add_intf() => rmnet_newlink()

That way mhi_net driver would comply with the new hw agnostic wwan link
API, without breaking backward compatibility if someone wants to
explicitly create a rmnet link. Moreover, it could also be applicable
to USB modems based on MBIM and their VLAN link types.

That's my guess, but maybe I do not have the whole picture and miss
something... Anyway, I'll not blame the IOSM driver for not doing
this. But If you decide to go with the wwan link type, I'll do my best
to adapt that to QCOM mhi_net as well.

Right.

(I know nothing about the formats, so if I said anything about 'QMI'
just ignore and think 'qualcomm stuff')

Agree. Though I looked at it now in the last couple of hours, and it's
actually not easy to do.

I came up with these patches for now:
https://p.sipsolutions.net/d8d8897c3f43cb85.txt

(on top of 5.13-rc3 + the patchset we're discussing here)

The key problem is that rtnetlink ops are meant to be for a single
device family, and don't really generalize well. For example:

+static void wwan_rtnl_setup(struct net_device *dev)
+{
+       /* FIXME - how do we implement this? we dont have any data
+        * at this point ..., i.e. we can't look up the context yet?
+        * We'd need data[IFLA_WWAN_DEV_NAME], see wwan_rtnl_newlink().
+        */
+}

or 

+static struct rtnl_link_ops wwan_rtnl_link_ops __read_mostly = {
[...]
+       .priv_size = WWAN_MAX_NETDEV_PRIV,

are both rather annoying.

Making this more generic should of course be possible, but would require
fairly large changes all over the kernel - passing the tb/data to all
the handlers involved here, etc. That seems awkward?

What do you think?

The alternative I could see is doing what wifi did and create a
completely new (generic) netlink family, but that's also awkward to some
extend and requires writing more code to handle stuff that rtnetlink
already does ...


Please take a look. I suppose we could change rtnetlink to make it
possible to have this behind it ... but that might even be tricky,
because setup() is called in the context of alloc_netdev_mqs(), and that
also has no private data to pass through. So would we have to extend
rtnetlink ops with a "get_setup()" method that actually *returns* a
pointer to the setup method, so that it can be per-user (such as IOSM)?
Tricky stuff.

Maybe. It'd just need some incentive, and there's none now that the
Qualcomm stuff is already there :)

Hi,

Yes, that works. It needs some more fiddling (we need 'data', not just
'tb') and it cannot be called 'alloc_netdev' (that's a macro!), but
yeah, otherwise works. I'll just call it alloc().

I'll send a few updated patches in a few minutes.
