ESL(Enhanced System Lockdown) was designed to lock PCI adapter firmware images and prevent changes to critical non-volatile configuration data so that uncontrolled, malicious or unintentional modification to the adapters are avoided, ensuring it's operational state. Once this feature is enabled, the device is locked, rejecting any modification to non-volatile images. Once unlocked, the protection is off such that firmware and non-volatile configurations may be altered. Driver just reflects the capability and status of this through the ethtool private flag.

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.
