A VSI handle is just a number the driver maintains to uniquely identify
a VSI. A VSI handle is backed by a VSI number in the hardware. When
interacting when the hardware, VSI handles are converted into VSI numbers.
In commit 0f9d5027a7 ("ice: Refactor VSI allocation, deletion and
rebuild flow"), VSI handles were introduced but it was used only
when creating and deleting VSIs. This patch is part one of two patches
that expands the use of VSI handles across the rest of the driver. Also
in this patch, certain parts of the code had to be refactored to correctly
use VSI handles.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
