Subject: [PATCH net-next 12/13] net/mlx5: E-switch, correct stale VF/PF wording in esw-allowed comments
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:38:29 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923103830.1183-13-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923103830.1183-1-tariqt@nvidia.com>
From: Shay Drory <shayd@nvidia.com>
mlx5_esw_hold() and mlx5_eswitch_unblock_ipsec() bail out on
!mlx5_esw_allowed(), and their comments explained that as "a VF has no
eswitch" / "core dev is not a PF". New FW will let a VF act as a nested
e-switch manager - such a VF has an eswitch and passes
mlx5_esw_allowed() - so that equivalence no longer holds. Reword the
comments to describe the actual condition, the device is not an e-switch
manager, with no functional change.
