Add remote reload stats to hold the history of actions performed due
devlink reload commands initiated by remote host. For example, in case
firmware activation with reset finished successfully but was initiated
by remote host.

The function devlink_remote_reload_actions_performed() is exported to
enable drivers update on remote reload actions performed as it was not
initiated by their own devlink instance.

Expose devlink remote reload stats to the user through devlink dev get
command.

Examples:
$ devlink dev show
pci/0000:82:00.0:
stats:
reload_stats:
driver_reinit 2
fw_activate 1
fw_activate_no_reset 0
remote_reload_stats:
driver_reinit 0
fw_activate 0
fw_activate_no_reset 0
pci/0000:82:00.1:
stats:
reload_stats:
driver_reinit 1
fw_activate 0
fw_activate_no_reset 0
remote_reload_stats:
driver_reinit 1
fw_activate 1
fw_activate_no_reset 0

$ devlink dev show -jp
{
"dev": {
"pci/0000:82:00.0": {
"stats": {
"reload_stats": [ {
"driver_reinit": 2
},{
"fw_activate": 1
},{
"fw_activate_no_reset": 0
} ],
"remote_reload_stats": [ {
"driver_reinit": 0
},{
"fw_activate": 0
},{
"fw_activate_no_reset": 0
} ]
}
},
"pci/0000:82:00.1": {
"stats": {
"reload_stats": [ {
"driver_reinit": 1
},{
"fw_activate": 0
},{
"fw_activate_no_reset": 0
} ],
"remote_reload_stats": [ {
"driver_reinit": 1
},{
"fw_activate": 1
},{
"fw_activate_no_reset": 0
} ]
}
}
}
}

RFCv5 -> v1:
- Resplit this patch and the previous one by remote/local reload stats
instead of set/get reload stats
- Rename reload_action_stats to reload_stats
RFCv4 -> RFCv5:
- Add remote actions stats
- If devlink reload is not supported, show only remote_stats
RFCv3 -> RFCv4:
- Renamed DEVLINK_ATTR_RELOAD_ACTION_CNT to
DEVLINK_ATTR_RELOAD_ACTION_STAT
- Add stats per action per limit level
RFCv2 -> RFCv3:
- Add reload actions counters instead of supported reload actions
(reload actions counters are only for supported action so no need for
both)
RFCv1 -> RFCv2:
- Removed DEVLINK_ATTR_RELOAD_DEFAULT_LEVEL
- Removed DEVLINK_ATTR_RELOAD_LEVELS_INFO
- Have actions instead of levels

I don't follow the check "!is_remote" here,

We agreed that remote stats should be shown also for non supported
actions and limits, because its remote. So it makes this condition
different for remote stats. Rethinking about it, maybe that's wrong. I
mean if we had here reload actions as a result of remote driver, they
have common device, so it has to be the same type of driver and support
same actions/limits, right ?

Obviously it runs the same device but.. technically, couldn't the remote
device be running a different version of the driver? i.e. what if it
supports some new mode that this host doesn't yet understand? (or does
understand but has a driver which doesn't yet?)


Yes, also there is a possibility that one host function has privilege to do an action that the other doesn't have.  I see there are reasons to keep this diff between remote stats and local. I will keep it. Thanks.
