This patchset is based on patch by Narendra_K@Dell.com
Once device which can change phys port id during its lifetime adopts this,
NETDEV_CHANGEPHYSPORTID event will be added and driver will call
call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_NETDEV_CHANGEPHYSPORTID, dev) to propagate
the change to userspace.

v1->v2: as suggested by Ben, handle -EOPNOTSUPP in rtnl code (wrapped up ndo call)
v2->v3: adjusted patch 1 commit message
v3->v4: used "%phN" for sysfs printf as suggested by DaveM
        added igb/igbvf implementation as requested by Or Gerlitz
v4->v5: used prandom_u32 to generate id in igb_probe
	removed duplicate code in ibgvf_probe
	pushed dev_err string into one line in igbvf_refresh_ppid

Jiri Pirko (4):
  net: add ndo to get id of physical port of the device
  rtnl: export physical port id via RT netlink
  net: export physical port id via sysfs
  igb/igbvf: implement ndo_get_phys_port_id

This patch adds a ndo for getting physical port of the device. Driver
which is aware of being virtual function of some physical port should
implement this ndo. This is applicable not only for IOV, but for other
solutions (NPAR, multichannel) as well. Basically if there is possible
to have multiple netdevs on the single hw port.

igb driver generated random number which will identify physical port.
This id is available via ndo_get_phys_port_id directly on igb netdev.
Also, id is passed to igbvf using mailbox. After that, it is available via
ndo_get_phys_port_id on igbvf netdev as well.

Jiri-
I do not want to hold up the entire series, especially since three of
the four patches are not against our drivers, but I would like to have
these changes tested in our validation labs.

I will apply the series internally for testing.  In the meantime, if I
get an ACK from Carolyn Wyborny and Greg Rose on the igb/igbvf patch, I
am good with Dave applying the series.

If we're going to pick these IDs at random then 32 bits is fine for a
locally unique ID but not so much for a universally unique ID.  If we
want universal uniqueness (which is what you've specified) then I think
at least 64 bits are required.  Unless there's some constraint on length
then I would suggest using uuid_be_gen() in at least the single-PF case.

I had assumed that a stable ID was useful, but maybe it doesn't matter
(and I can see that it might sometimes be desirable to hide that from a
VM).

I'm generally fine with these patches, but some things still need to be
done.

First of all, I want a real comprehensive description of this patch
series in the "0/4" posting.

It should answer, in detail, the following questions:

1) Why do we need this, and why do existing facilities fail to provide
   a way to accomplish this?

2) Why is the physical port ID defined as a 32 byte opaque cookie?
   What formats and layouts need to be accomodated, and which
   influenced the design of the ID?

3) Are IDs globally unique?  Why or why not?  If IDs should be
   globally unique, but only in certain cases, what exactly are those
   cases.

And please address Ben's concerns about global uniqueness in the
igb/igbvf changes, and whether a 32-bit value is sufficient.

Thanks.

Will do. Thanks Dave

I believe that locally unique ID is enough. I'm not sure if universally
would be ever needed for this particular item. There is need to identify
the ports within one machine.

But sure, for generated ids, lets use uuid_be_gen()

+ For NPAR for example, the id cannot be generated but must be computed
from hw info by individual netdev instances. And I imagine that collisions
in that case are even more likely than for 32-bit random number.
