Currently vport number to vport and its representor are mapped using an array and an index. Vport numbers of different types of functions are not contiguous. Adding new such discontiguous range using index and number mapping is increasingly complex and hard to maintain. Hence, maintain an xarray of vport and rep whose lookup is done based on the vport number. Each VF and SF entry is marked with a xarray mark to identify the function type. Additionally PF and VF needs special handling for legacy inline mode. They are additionally marked as host function using additional HOST_FN mark.

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.
