Reserved GIDs are entries in the GID table in use by the mlx5_core and its submodules (e.g. FPGA, SRIOV, E-Swtich, netdev). The entries are reserved at the high indexes of the GID table. A mlx5 submodule may reserve a certain amount of GIDs for its own use during the load sequence by calling mlx5_core_reserve_gids, and must also take care to un-reserve these GIDs when it closes. Reservation is only allowed during the load sequence and before any interfaces (e.g. mlx5_ib or mlx5_en) are up. After reservation, a submodule may call mlx5_core_reserved_gid_alloc/ free to allocate entries from the reserved GIDs pool. Reserve a GID table entry for every supported FPGA QP. A later patch in the patchset will remove them from being reported to IB core. Another such patch will make use of these for FPGA QPs in Innova NIC. Added lib/mlx5.h to serve as a library for mlx5 submodlues, and to expose only public mlx5 API, more mlx5 library files will be added in future submissions.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
