check. e.g., what happens if a resource controller has been configured
for the devlink instance and it is moved to a namespace whose existing
config exceeds those limits?

It's moved with all the values. The whole instance is moved.

The values are moved, but the FIB in a namespace could already contain
more routes than the devlink instance allows.

From a quick test your recent refactoring to netdevsim broke the
resource controller. It was, and is intended to be, per network namespace.

Specifically this commit:

    netdevsim: create devlink instance per netdevsim instance

    Currently there is one devlink instance created per network namespace.
    That is quite odd considering the fact that devlink instance should
    represent an ASIC. The following patches are going to move the devlink
    instance even more down to a bus device, but until then, have one
    devlink instance per netdevsim instance. Struct nsim_devlink is
    introduced to hold fib setting.

    The changes in the fib code are only related to holding the
    configuration per devlink instance instead of network namespace.

broke the intent of the resource controller clearly stated in the
original commit

    netdevsim: Add simple FIB resource controller via devlink

...
    Currently, devlink only supports initial namespace. Code is in place to
    adapt netdevsim to a per namespace controller once the network namespace
    issues are resolved.

And discussed here based on the RFC and v1 of the original patchset:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/03eade79-1727-3a31-8e31-a0a7f51b72cf@cumulusnetworks.com/ (local)

and

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/a916f016-5d8b-3f56-0a84-95d1712bec4c@cumulusnetworks.com/ (local)

This is a regression that needs to be fixed.
