Commit Message

From: Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com>

Currently each packet inserted in eswitch is tagged with a internal
metadata to indicate source vport. Metadata tagging is not always
needed. Metadata insertion is needed for multi-port RoCE, failover
between representors and stacked devices. In many other cases,
metadata enablement is not needed.

Metadata insertion slows down the packet processing rate.

Hence, allow user to disable metadata using driver specific devlink
parameter.

Example to show and disable metadata before changing eswitch mode:
$ 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

$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 \
	  name esw_port_metadata value false cmode runtime

$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev

Right, I didn't see the info on when the performance impact is felt 
in the documentation either.

AFAIU we have 3 categories of users:
1 - those who use esw|roce + LAG etc and therefore must leave this
    enabled;
2 - those who don't use LAG but use switchdev so they can turn it off;
3 - those who don't use switchdev or RoCE..

While the documentation should be clear for 1 and 2, group 3 does not
know (a) if they will be impacted; or (b) may not even know what kind 
of stacked devices documentation is referring to.

+esw_port_metadata: Eswitch port metadata state
+----------------------------------------------
+Eswitch port metadata state controls whether to internally tag packet with metadata or not.
+Metadata tagging must be enabled for multi-port RoCE, failover between representors and stacked devices.
+By default metadata is enabled on the supported devices. When metadata usage is not needed,
+user can disable metadata tagging before moving the eswitch to switchdev mode.

+- 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

+- Change eswitch mode to switchdev mode where metadata is used::

 mlx5 subfunction
 ================
 mlx5 supports subfunction management using devlink port (see :ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-port.rst <devlink_port>`) interface.
