[ Upstream commit4e046de0f5] This reverts commit5f5991f36d. With the original commit, eswitch instance will not be initialized for a function which is vport group manager but not eswitch manager such as host PF on SmartNIC (BlueField) card. This will result in a kernel crash when such a vport group manager is trying to access vports in its group. E.g, PF vport manager (not eswitch manager) tries to configure the MAC of its VF vport, a kernel trace will happen similar as bellow: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 ... RIP: 0010:mlx5_eswitch_get_vport_config+0xc/0x180 [mlx5_core] ...

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
