Russell King says: ==================== Two phylink pause fixes While testing, I discovered two issues with ethtool -A with phylink. First, if there is a PHY bound to the network device, we hit a deadlock when phylib tries to notify us of the link changing as a result of triggering a renegotiation. Second, when we are manually forcing the pause settings, and there is no renegotiation triggered, we do not update the MAC via the new mac_link_up approach. These two patches solve both problems, and will need to be backported to v5.7; they do not apply cleanly there due to the introduction of PCS in the v5.8 merge window. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
