ECPF connects to the eswitch through vport 0xfffe. ECPF may or may not be the eswitch manager depending on firmware configuration. 1. If ECPF is eswitch manager: ECPF will take over the eswitch manager responsibility. A rep of the host PF shall be created at the ECPF side for the eswitch manager to control. 2. If ECPF is not eswitch manager: host PF will be the eswitch manager, ECPF acts similar as a VF to the host PF. Host PF will be aware of the ECPF vport presence and control it's rep.

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.
