Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-05-04 This series contains updates to the ice driver only. Jesse updated the driver to make more functions consistent in their use of a local variable for vsi->back. Updates the driver to use bit fields when possible to avoid wasting lots of storage space to store single bit values. Optimized the driver to be more memory efficient by moving structure members around that are not in are hot path. Michal updates the driver to disable the VF if malicious device driver (MDD) event is detected by the hardware. Adds checks to validate the messages coming from the VF driver. Tightens up the sniffing of the driver so that transmit traffic so that VF's cannot see what is on other VSIs. Tony fixed the driver so that receive stripping state won't change every time transmit insertion is changed. Cleanup the __always_unused attribute, now that the variable is being used. Fixed the function which evaluates setting of features to ensure that can evaluate and set multiple features in a single function call. Akeem fixes the driver so that we do not attempt to remove a VLAN filter that does not exist. Adds support for adding a ethertype based filter rule on VSI and describe it in a very long run-on sentence. :-) Bruce cleans up static analysis warnings by removing a local variable initialization that is not needed. Brett makes the allocate/deallocate more consistent in all the driver flows for VSI q_vectors. In addition, makes setting/getting coalesce settings more consistent throughout the driver. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
