Any interraction with the buffer pool (seeding a buffer, acquire one) is
made through a software portal (SWP, a DPIO object).
There are circumstances where the dpaa2-switch driver probes on a DPSW
before any DPIO devices have been probed. In this case, seeding of the
buffer pool will lead to a panic since no SWPs are initialized.
To fix this, seed the buffer pool after making sure that the software
portals have been probed and are ready to be used.

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.
