Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-08-05 This series contains updates to i40e driver only. Dmitrii adds missing statistic counters for VEB and VEB TC's. Slawomir adds support for logging the "Disable Firmware LLDP" flag option and its current status. Jake fixes an issue where VF's being notified of their link status before their queues are enabled which was causing issues. So always report link status down when the VF queues are not enabled. Also adds future proofing when statistics are added or removed by adding checks to ensure the data pointer for the strings lines up with the expected statistics count. Czeslaw fixes the advertised mode reported in ethtool for FEC, where the "None BaseR RS" was always being displayed no matter what the mode it was in. Also added logging information when the PF is entering or leaving "allmulti" (or promiscuous) mode. Fixed up the logging logic for VF's when leaving multicast mode to not include unicast as well. v2: drop Aleksandr's patch (previously patch #2 in the series) to display the VF MAC address that is set by the VF while community feedback is addressed. ==================== 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.
