Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-02-13 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Wei Yongjun fixes a function that needed to be "static". Also fixes the use of GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC when we have taken a spinlock. Mitch cleans up several info messages to not include the memory addresses being used on the off chance this information could be used maliciously. Alan provides several fixes to the broadcast filters starting with the triggering of overflow promiscuous in circumstances where we run out of space for broadcast filters to prevent traffic from being unexpectedly dropped. Refactored the code to improve the readability and maintainability when we are concerned about when and how overflow promiscuous is changed. Harshitha cleans up a message to make it more clear on what is being reset, so users are not confused and think the PF is resetting. Dave fixes an issue where the MAC, firmware version and NPAR checks used to determine if shutting off the firmware LLDP engine is supported or not, instead set a hardware flag which ethtool can use. Jake updates the VF driver to use __dev_uc_sync and __dev_mc_sync, like the PF driver. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
