Each direct attached device will have a unique Port ID, but with an exception. HBA vSES may use the same Port ID of another direct attached device Port's ID. As a result, special handling is needed for vSES. Create a virtual_phy object when a new HBA vSES device is detected and add this virtual_phy object to vphys_list of port ID's hba_port object. When the HBA vSES device is removed then remove the corresponding virtual_phy object from its parent's hba_port's vphy_list and free this virtual_vphy object. In hba_port object add vphy_mask field to hold the list of HBA phy bits which are assigned to vSES devices. Also add vphy_list list to hold list of virtual_phy objects which holds the same portID of current hba_port's portID. Also, add a hba_vphy field in _sas_phy object to determine whether this _sas_phy object belongs to vSES device or not. - Allocate a virtual_phy object whenever a virtual phy is detected while processing the SASIOUnitPage0's phy data. And this allocated virtual_phy object to corresponding PortID's hba_port's vphy_list. - When a vSES device is added to the SML then initialize the corresponding virtual_phy objects's sas_address field with vSES device's SAS Address. - Free this virtual_phy object during driver unload time and when this vSES device is removed.

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.
