Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-01-26 This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf. Emil updates ixgbevf to match ixgbe functionality, starting with the consolidating of functions that represent logical steps in the receive process so we can later update them more easily. Updated ixgbevf to only synchronize the length of the frame, which will typically be the MTU or smaller. Updated the VF driver to use the length of the packet instead of the DD status bit to determine if a new descriptor is ready to be processed, which saves on reads and we can save time on initialization. Added support for DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC/WEAK_ORDERING to help improve performance on some platforms. Updated the VF driver to do bulk updates of the page reference count instead of just incrementing it by one reference at a time. Updated the VF driver to only go through the region of the receive ring that was designated to be cleaned up, rather than process the entire ring. Colin Ian King adds the use of ARRAY_SIZE() on various arrays. Miroslav Lichvar fixes an issue where ethtool was reporting timestamping filters unsupported for X550, which is incorrect. Paul adds support for reporting 5G link speed for some devices. Dan Carpenter fixes a typo where && was used when it should have been ||. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. 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.
