^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 7) ``devlink-reload`` provides mechanism to reinit driver entities, applying
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8) ``devlink-params`` and ``devlink-resources`` new values. It also provides
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) mechanism to activate firmware.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 24) new values to devlink entities which are used during driver

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) - Firmware activate. Activates new firmware if such image is stored and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) pending activation. If no limitation specified this action may involve
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) firmware reset. If no new image pending this action will reload current
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) firmware image.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) Note that even though user asks for a specific action, the driver
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) implementation might require to perform another action alongside with
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) it. For example, some driver do not support driver reinitialization
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) being performed without fw activation. Therefore, the devlink reload
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) command returns the list of actions which were actrually performed.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 42) By default reload actions are not limited and driver implementation may
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) include reset or downtime as needed to perform the actions.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 44)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45) However, some drivers support action limits, which limit the action
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 46) implementation to specific constraints.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 60) The netns option allows user to be able to move devlink instances into
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 61) namespaces during devlink reload operation.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 62) By default all devlink instances are created in init_net and stay there.
