For a PF/VF with a NIXLF attached has default/reserved MCAM entries for receiving Ucast/Bcast/Promisc traffic. Ideally traffic should be forwarded to NIXLF only after it's contexts are initialized. This patch keeps these default entries disabled and adds mbox messages for a PF/VF to enable these once NPA/NIXLF initialization is done. Likewise while PF/VF is being teared down, it can send the disable mailbox message to stop receiving traffic. Signed-off-by: Sunil Goutham <sgoutham@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
