devlink external port attribute for SF (Sub-Function) port flavour
 
 This adds the support to instantiate Sub-Functions on external hosts
 E.g when Eswitch manager is enabled on the ARM SmarNic SoC CPU, users
 are now able to spawn new Sub-Functions on the Host server CPU.

 ==================
 
 This series introduces and uses external attribute for the SF port to
 indicate that a SF port belongs to an external controller.
 
 This is needed to generate unique phys_port_name when PF and SF numbers
 are overlapping between local and external controllers.
 For example two controllers 0 and 1, both of these controller have a SF.
 having PF number 0, SF number 77. Here, phys_port_name has duplicate
 entry which doesn't have controller number in it.
 
 Hence, add controller number optionally when a SF port is for an
 external controller. This extension is similar to existing PF and VF
 eswitch ports of the external controller.
 
 When a SF is for external controller an example view of external SF
 port and config sequence:
 
 On eswitch system:
 $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0033:01:00.0 mode switchdev
 
 $ devlink port show
 pci/0033:01:00.0/196607: type eth netdev enP51p1s0f0np0 flavour physical port 0 splittable false
 pci/0033:01:00.0/131072: type eth netdev eth0 flavour pcipf controller 1 pfnum 0 external true splittable false
   function:
     hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00
 
 $ devlink port add pci/0033:01:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 77 controller 1
 pci/0033:01:00.0/163840: type eth netdev eth1 flavour pcisf controller 1 pfnum 0 sfnum 77 splittable false
   function:

 phys_port_name construction:

 Patch summary:
 First 3 patches prepares the eswitch to handle vports in more generic
 way using xarray to lookup vport from its unique vport number.
 Patch-1 returns maximum eswitch ports only when eswitch is enabled
 Patch-2 prepares eswitch to return eswitch max ports from a struct
 Patch-3 uses xarray for vport and representor lookup
 Patch-4 considers SF for an additioanl range of SF vports
 Patch-5 relies on SF hw table to check SF support
 Patch-6 extends SF devlink port attribute for external flag
 Patch-7 stores the per controller SF allocation attributes
 Patch-8 uses SF function id for filtering events
 Patch-9 uses helper for allocation and free
 Patch-10 splits hw table into per controller table and generic one
 Patch-11 extends sf table for additional range

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.
