Linux kernel source tree
9a0f81fc64
In some devices, the function numbers used are non-contiguous. For example, here is such configuration for E825 device: root@/home/root# lspci -v | grep Eth 0a:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection E825-C for backplane (rev 04) 0a:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection E825-C for backplane (rev 04) 0a:00.4 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection E825-C 10GbE (rev 04) 0a:00.5 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection E825-C 10GbE (rev 04) When distributing RSS and FDIR masks, which are global resources across the active devices, it is required to have a contiguous PF id, which can be described as a logical PF id. In the case above, function 0 would have a logical PF id of 0, function 1 would have a logical PF id of 1, and functions 4 and 5 would have a logical PF ids 2 and 3 respectively. Using logical PF id can properly describe which slice of resources can be used by a particular PF. The 'function id' to 'logical id' mapping has been introduced with the commit |

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.
