Switchdev environment has to be set up when user create VFs and eswitch mode is switchdev. Release is done when user delete all VFs. Data path in this implementation is based on control plane VSI. This VSI is used to pass traffic from port representors to corresponding VFs and vice versa. Default TX rule has to be added to forward packet to control plane VSI. This will redirect packets from VFs which don't match other rules to control plane VSI. On RX side default rule is added on uplink VSI to receive all traffic that doesn't match other rules. When setting switchdev environment all other rules from VFs should be removed. Packet to VFs will be forwarded by control plane VSI. As VF without any mac rules can't send any packet because of antispoof mechanism, VSI antispoof should be turned off on each VFs. To send packet from representor to correct VSI, destination VSI field in TX descriptor will have to be filled. Allow that by setting destination override bit in control plane VSI security config. Packet from VFs will be received on control plane VSI. Driver should decide to which netdev forward the packet. Decision is made based on src_vsi field from descriptor. There is a target netdev list in control plane VSI struct which choose netdev based on src_vsi number.

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.
