Remove an inability of bnxt_en driver to set eswitch to switchdev mode without existing VFs by: 1. Allow to set switchdev mode in bnxt_dl_eswitch_mode_set() so representors are created only when num_vfs > 0 otherwise just set bp->eswitch_mode 2. Do not automatically change bp->eswitch_mode during bnxt_vf_reps_create() and bnxt_vf_reps_destroy() calls so the eswitch mode is managed only by an user by devlink. Just set temporarily bp->eswitch_mode to legacy to avoid re-opening of representors during destroy. 3. Create representors in bnxt_sriov_enable() if current eswitch mode is switchdev one Tested by this sequence: 1. Set PF interface up 2. Set PF's eswitch mode to switchdev 3. Created N VFs 4. Checked that N representors were created 5. Set eswitch mode to legacy 6. Checked that representors were deleted 7. Set eswitch mode back to switchdev 8. Checked that representors exist again for VFs 9. Deleted all VFs 10. Checked that all representors were deleted as well 11. Checked that current eswitch mode is still switchdev Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Acked-by: Venkat Duvvuru <venkatkumar.duvvuru@broadcom.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230411120443.126055-1-ivecera@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
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.
