40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-03-20
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.
Philippe Reynes updates i40e and i40evf to use the new ethtool API for
{get|set}_link_ksettings.
Jake provides the remaining patches in the series, starting with a fix
for i40e where the firmware expected the port numbers for the offloaded
UDP tunnels in Little Endian format and we were sending them in Big Endian
format which put the wrong port number to be put in the UDP tunnel list.
Changed the driver to use __be32 values instead of arrays for
(src|dst)_ip. Refactored the exit flow of i40e_add_fdir_ethtool() which
removes the dependency on having a non-zero return value. Fixed a memory
leak by running kfree() and returning immediately when we fail to add
flow director filter. Fixed a potential issue where could update the
filter count without actually succeeding in adding a filter, by moving
the ATR exit check to after we have sent the TCP/IPv4 filter to the ring
successfully. Ensures that the fd_tcp_rule count is reset to 0, before
we reprogram the filters so that we do not end up with a stale count
which does not correctly reflect the number of programmed filters. Added
a check whether we have TCP/IPv4 filters before re-enabling ATR after
flushing and replaying FDIR filters. Added counters for each filter
type in preparation for adding code to properly check the mask value.
Fixed potential issues by explicitly checking the flow type at the
start of i40e_add_fdir_ethtool(). To avoid possible memory leaks,
we now unconditionally delete the old filter, even if it is identical to
the new filter and ensures will always update the filters as expected.

These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
