Upcoming patches will add tag_8021q related logic to switch.c and port.c, in order to allow it to make use of cross-chip notifiers. In addition, a struct dsa_8021q_context *ctx pointer will be added to struct dsa_switch. It seems fairly low-reward to #ifdef the *ctx from struct dsa_switch and to provide shim implementations of the entire tag_8021q.c calling surface (not even clear what to do about the tag_8021q cross-chip notifiers to avoid compiling them). The runtime overhead for switches which don't use tag_8021q is fairly small because all helpers will check for ds->tag_8021q_ctx being a NULL pointer and stop there. So let's make it part of dsa_core.o. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
