Merge branch 'mlx5-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux
1) New generic devlink param "enable_roce", for downstream devlink reload support 2) Do vport ACL configuration on per vport basis when enabling/disabling a vport. This enables to have vports enabled/disabled outside of eswitch config for future 3) Split the code for legacy vs offloads mode and make it clear 4) Tide up vport locking and workqueue usage 5) Fix metadata enablement for ECPF 6) Make explicit use of VF property to publish IB_DEVICE_VIRTUAL_FUNCTION 7) E-Switch and flow steering core low level support and refactoring for netfilter flowtables offload Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com>

+enable_roce: RoCE enablement state
+----------------------------------
+RoCE enablement state controls driver support for RoCE traffic.
+When RoCE is disabled, there is no gid table, only raw ethernet QPs are supported and traffic on the well known UDP RoCE port is handled as raw ethernet traffic.
+
+To change RoCE enablement state a user must change the driverinit cmode value and run devlink reload.
+
+User command examples:
+
+- Disable RoCE::
+
+ $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name enable_roce value false cmode driverinit
+ $ devlink dev reload pci/0000:06:00.0
+
+- Read RoCE enablement state::
+
+ $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name enable_roce
+ pci/0000:06:00.0:
+ name enable_roce type generic
+ values:
+ cmode driverinit value true
