Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-06-17 This series contains updates to the iavf driver only. Akeem updates the driver to change how VLAN tags are being populated and programmed into the hardware by starting from the first member of the list until the number of allowed VLAN tags is exhausted. Mitch fixed the variable type since the variable counter starts out negative and climbs to zero, so use a signed integer instead of unsigned. Also increase the timeout to avoid erroneous errors. Fixed the driver to be able to handle when the hardware hands us a null receive descriptor with no data attached, yet is still valid. Aleksandr fixes the driver to use GFP_ATOMIC when allocating memory in atomic context. Avinash updates the driver to fix a calculation error in virtchnl regarding the valid length. Jakub does some refactoring of the commands processing the watchdog state machine to reduce the length and complexity of the function. Also decalre watchdog task as delayed work and use a dedicated work queue to service the driver tasks. Paul updated the iavf_process_aq_command to call the necessary functions to be able to clear cloud filter bits that need to be cleared. ==================== 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.
