Parav Pandit says: ==================== devlink: Introduce devlink port flavour virtual Currently PCI PF and VF devlink devices register their ports as physical port in non-representors mode. Introduce a new port flavour as virtual so that virtual devices can register 'virtual' flavour to make it more clear to users. An example of one PCI PF and 2 PCI virtual functions, each having one devlink port. $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev ens2f0 flavour physical port 0 pci/0000:06:00.2/1: type eth netdev ens2f2 flavour virtual port 0 pci/0000:06:00.3/1: type eth netdev ens2f3 flavour virtual port 0 Patch summary: Patch-1 Introduces new devlink port flavour 'virtual'. Patch-2 Uses new flavour to register PCI VF virtual ports. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
