docs: net: add an explanation of VF (and other) Representors

2022-09-21T14:31:38+00:00

There's no clear explanation of what VF Representors are for, their semantics, etc., outside of vendor docs and random conference slides. Add a document explaining Representors and defining what drivers that implement them are expected to do.

Change occurrences of "it's" that are possessive to "its" so that they don't read as "it is". Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Cc: Jonathan Corbet Cc: Eric Dumazet Cc: Paolo Abeni Cc: Jiri Pirko Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220829235414.17110-1-rdunlap@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

Even though this is clear from the context, it is nice to actually be grammatically correct. Fixes: 0f22ad45f47c ("Documentation: networking: switchdev: clarify device driver behavior") Reported-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Documentation: networking: switchdev: fix command for static FDB entries

2021-03-16T22:13:45+00:00

The "bridge fdb add" command provided in the switchdev documentation is junk now, not only because it is syntactically incorrect and rejected by the iproute2 bridge program, but also because it was not updated in light of Arkadi Sharshevsky's radical switchdev refactoring in commit 29ab586c3d83 ("net: switchdev: Remove bridge bypass support from switchdev"). Try to explain what the intended usage pattern is with the new kernel implementation. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: David S.

Documentation: networking: switchdev: clarify device driver behavior

2021-03-16T22:13:45+00:00

This patch provides details on the expected behavior of switchdev enabled network devices when operating in a "stand alone" mode, as well as when being bridge members. This clarifies a number of things that recently came up during a bug fixing session on the b53 DSA switch driver.
