Now, when we have a dedicated uplink representor, the netdev instance set over the esw manager vport (PF) is of no-use. As such, remove it once we're on switchdev mode and get it back to life when off switchdev. This is done by reloading the Ethernet interface as well (we already do that for the IB interface) from the eswitch code while going in/out of switchdev mode. The Eth add/remove entries are modified to act differently when called in switchdev mode. In this case we only deal with registration of the eth vport representors. The rep netdevices are created from the eswitch call to load the registered eth representors. Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com>
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.
