Florian Fainelli says: ==================== net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Store rules in lists This patch series changes the bcm-sf2 driver to keep a copy of the inserted rules as opposed to using the HW as a storage area for a number of reasons: - this helps us with doing duplicate rule detection in a faster way, it would have required a full rule read before - this helps with Pablo's on-going work to convert ethtool_rx_flow_spec to a more generic flow rule structure by having fewer code paths to convert to the new structure/helpers - we need to cache copies to restore them during drive resumption, because depending on the low power mode the system has entered, the switch may have lost all of its context ==================== 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.
