Petr Machata says: ==================== selftests: New selftests for out-of-order-operations patches in mlxsw In the past, the mlxsw driver made the assumption that the user applies configuration in a bottom-up manner. Thus netdevices needed to be added to the bridge before IP addresses were configured on that bridge or SVI added on top of it, because whatever happened before a netdevice was mlxsw upper was generally ignored by mlxsw. Recently, several patch series were pushed to introduce the bookkeeping and replays necessary to offload the full state, not just the immediate configuration step. In this patchset, introduce new selftests that directly exercise the out of order code paths in mlxsw. - Patch #1 adds new tests into the existing selftest router_bridge.sh. - Patches #2-#5 add new generic selftests. - Patches #6-#8 add new mlxsw-specific selftests. ==================== 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.
