That approach requires touching all the same files and exact same lines again in ULPs, core and providers to change from ops to gids_ops or resource_ops or vf_ops.
Instead pick one functionality and have ops structure for it.
For example,
struct rdma_gid_ops {
int (*add_gid)(...);
int (*query_gid)(...);
};
struct ib_device {
<...existing giant list of fn_ pointers>
struct rdma_gid_ops gid_ops;
};
provider.c
device.gid_ops = &mlx5_gid_ops;
This way refactor is still done with small number of logical patches based on functionality of the ops that you are touching.
And it won't require retouching same code again because every such patch series will touch unrelated ops in ULP, core and providers.
So a starting point division should be (as individual series)
1. gid_ops
2. vf_ops
3. stats_ops
4. resource_ops (qp, ah, mr, flow, counters, cq, pd).
