Linux kernel source tree
662c9b22f5
The current driver design relies on the PF netdev being open in order
to intercept the following HWRM commands from a VF:
- HWRM_FUNC_VF_CFG
- HWRM_CFA_L2_FILTER_ALLOC
- HWRM_PORT_PHY_QCFG (only if FW_CAP_LINK_ADMIN is not supported)
If the PF is closed, then VFs are subjected to rather inscrutable error
messages in response to any configuration requests involving the above
command types. Recent firmware distinguishes this problem case from
other errors by returning HWRM_ERR_CODE_PF_UNAVAILABLE. In most cases,
the appropriate course of action is still to fail, but this can now be
accomplished with the aid of more user informative log messages. For L2
filter allocations that are already asynchronous, an automatic retry
seems more appropriate.
v2: Delete extra newline.

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.
