Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Expose number of physical ports The switch ASIC has a limited capacity of physical ports that it can support. While each system is brought up with a different number of ports, this number can be increased via splitting up to the ASIC's limit. Expose physical ports as a devlink resource so that user space will have visibility into the maximum number of ports that can be supported and the current occupancy. With this resource it is possible, for example, to write generic (i.e., not platform dependent) tests for port splitting. Patch #1 adds the new resource and patch #2 adds a selftest. v2: * Add the physical ports resource as a generic devlink resource so that it could be re-used by other device drivers ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210121131024.2656154-1-idosch@idosch.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
