Management firmware is used as an arbiter between the various PFs in matters of resources, but some of the resources that need to be divided are dependent on the non-management firmware used, so management firmware first needs to be told how many resources there are before trying to divide them. As part of the initialization sequence, driver would first inform the management firmware of the available resources under a dedicated resource lock, and afterwards request for various resources which might be based on the previous set values.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
