Ido Schimmel says: ==================== devlink: Preparations for trap policers support This patch set prepares the code for devlink-trap policer support in a follow-up patch set [1][2]. No functional changes intended. Policers are going to be added as attributes of packet trap groups, which are entities used to aggregate logically related packet traps. This will allow users, for example, to limit all the packets that encountered an exception during routing to 10Kpps. However, currently, device drivers register their packet trap groups implicitly when they register their packet traps via devlink_traps_register(). This makes it difficult to pass additional attributes for the groups. For example, the policer bound to the group. Therefore, this patch set converts device drivers to explicitly register their packet trap groups. This will later allow these drivers to register the group with additional attributes, if any. ==================== Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> 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.
