Currently, when running in sriov switchdev mode, we are using the PF netdevice as the uplink representor, this is problematic from few aspects: - will break when the PF isn't eswitch manager (e.g smart NIC env) - misalignment with other NIC switchdev drivers - makes us have and maintain special code, hurts the driver quality/robustness - which in turn opens the door for future bugs As of each and all of the above, we move to have a dedicated netdev representor for the uplink vport in a similar manner done for for the VF vports. This includes the following: 1. have an uplink rep netdev as we have for VF reps 2. all reps use same load/unload functions 3. HW stats for uplink based on physical port counters and not vport counters 4. link state for the uplink managed through PAOS and not vport state 5. the uplink rep has sysfs link to the PF PCI function && uses the PF MAC address 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.
