Bailey Forrest says: ==================== gve: Introduce DQO descriptor format DQO is the descriptor format for our next generation virtual NIC. The existing descriptor format will be referred to as "GQI" in the patch set. One major change with DQO is it uses dual descriptor rings for both TX and RX queues. The TX path uses a TX queue to send descriptors to HW, and receives packet completion events on a TX completion queue. The RX path posts buffers to HW using an RX buffer queue and receives incoming packets on an RX queue. One important note is that DQO descriptors and doorbells are little endian. We continue to use the existing big endian control plane infrastructure. The general format of the patch series is: - Refactor existing code/data structures to be shared by DQO - Expand admin queues to support DQO device setup - Expand data structures and device setup to support DQO - Add logic to setup DQO queues - Implement datapath ==================== 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.
