Subject: devlink: expose devlink instance index over netlink
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=68deca0f0f4bba8c5278340c7c142500171d5f9b;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

devlink: expose devlink instance index over netlink

Each devlink instance has an internally assigned index used for xarray
storage. Expose it as a new DEVLINK_ATTR_INDEX uint attribute alongside
the existing bus_name and dev_name handle.
