A PCI sub-function (SF) represents a portion of the device similar
to PCI VF.
In an eswitch, PCI SF may have port which is normally represented
using a representor netdevice.
To have better visibility of eswitch port, its association with SF,
and its representor netdevice, introduce a PCI SF port flavour.
When devlink port flavour is PCI SF, fill up PCI SF attributes of the
port.
Extend port name creation using PCI PF and SF number scheme on best
effort basis, so that vendor drivers can skip defining their own
scheme.
This is done as cApfNSfM, where A, N and M are controller, PCI PF and
PCI SF number respectively.
This is similar to existing naming for PCI PF and PCI VF ports.
An example view of a PCI SF port:
$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/32768
pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev ens2f0npf0sf88 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 external false splittable false
function:
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 state active opstate attached
$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/32768 -jp

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.
