devlink: allow user to narrow per-instance dumps by passing handle attrs
For SFs, one devlink instance per SF is created. There might be thousands of these on a single host. When a user needs to know port handle for specific SF, he needs to dump all devlink ports on the host which does not scale good. Allow user to pass devlink handle attributes alongside the dump command and dump only objects which are under selected devlink instance. Example: $ devlink port show auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.0/65535: type eth netdev eth2 flavour physical port 0 splittable false auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.1/131071: type eth netdev eth3 flavour physical port 1 splittable false $ devlink port show auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.0 auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.0/65535: type eth netdev eth2 flavour physical port 0 splittable false $ devlink port show auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.1 auxiliary/mlx5_core.eth.1/131071: type eth netdev eth3 flavour physical port 1 splittable false Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com> Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230811155714.1736405-11-jiri@resnulli.us Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
