[PATCH net 05/11] net/mlx5: Reload auxiliary drivers on fw_activate

From: Mark Bloch <mbloch@nvidia.com>
Date: 2025-08-24 08:40:40

Subsystem: mellanox mlx5 core vpi driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Saeed Mahameed, Leon Romanovsky, Tariq Toukan, Mark Bloch, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Moshe Shemesh <redacted>

The devlink reload fw_activate command performs firmware activation
followed by driver reload, while devlink reload driver_reinit triggers
only driver reload. However, the driver reload logic differs between the
two modes, as on driver_reinit mode mlx5 also reloads auxiliary drivers,
while in fw_activate mode the auxiliary drivers are suspended where
applicable.

Additionally, following the cited commit, if the device has multiple PFs,
the behavior during fw_activate may vary between PFs: one PF may suspend
auxiliary drivers, while another reloads them.

Align devlink dev reload fw_activate behavior with devlink dev reload
driver_reinit, to reload all auxiliary drivers.
