Mellanox mlx5 Link Aggregation Helper Code

Internal support code within the Mellanox mlx5 Ethernet driver that handles link aggregation across multiple ports of ConnectX-series network adapters, used by hyperscalers and enterprises running 25/40/100/200/400 GbE Mellanox (now NVIDIA) NICs.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is an internal subcomponent of the larger Mellanox mlx5 Ethernet driver that implements link aggregation (bonding/teaming) helper logic for ConnectX adapters. It builds into the main mlx5_core module rather than registering with the kernel as a standalone driver, so it should not be evaluated for removal on its own.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: mlx5 core LAG support subdirectory implementing internal helper/library code for the broader mlx5 Ethernet driver, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
