Linux kernel source tree

After switchdev is enabled and disabled later, LLDP packets sending stops,
despite working perfectly fine before and during switchdev state.
To reproduce (creating/destroying VF is what triggers the reconfiguration):
devlink dev eswitch set pci/<address> mode switchdev
echo '2' > /sys/class/net/<ifname>/device/sriov_numvfs
echo '0' > /sys/class/net/<ifname>/device/sriov_numvfs
This happens because LLDP relies on the destination override functionality.
It needs to 1) set a flag in the descriptor, 2) set the VSI permission to
make it valid. The permissions are set when the PF VSI is first configured,
but switchdev then enables it for the uplink VSI (which is always the PF)
once more when configured and disables when deconfigured, which leads to
software-generated LLDP packets being blocked.
Do not modify the destination override permissions when configuring
switchdev, as the enabled state is the default configuration that is never
modified.

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 reStructuredText 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.
