From: Lang Cheng <chenglang@xxxxxxxxxx> Some provider driver has realized this function, but these code are implemented separately by each manufacturer. This series provides an solution in ib_core, and remove the relevant codes of some manufacturers. The key point is how to shield the port event of the backup port in the ib bonding scenario. Since the active-backup control is judged by the vendor driver, so the ops.query_port of vendor would determine the port role. And there is no relevant data structure in ib_core, so modify struct ib_port_cache to store this information. Supports reporting port active time during device registration and sending port error events when device is deregistered. The previous discussion can be found at: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11335999/ Changes since v1: - Fix comments from Leon and Jason. - Move event processing flow into global notifier instead of one notifier per device.
