From Eli Britstein, Patches 1-10 adds remote mirroring support. Patches 1-4 refactor encap related code as pre-steps for using per destination encapsulation properties. Patches 5-7 use extended destination feature for single/multi destination scenarios that have a single encap destination. Patches 8-10 enable multiple encap destinations for a TC flow. From, Daniel Jurgens, Patch 11, Use CQE padding for Ethernet CQs, PPC showed up to a 24% improvement in small packet throughput From Eyal Davidovich, patches 12-14, FW monitor counter support FW monitor counters feature came to solve the delayed reporting of FW stats in the atomic get_stats64 ndo, since we can't access the FW at that stage, this feature will enable immediate FW stats updates in the driver via fw events on specific stats updates. Patch 12, cleanup to avoid querying a FW counter when it is not supported Patch 13, Monitor counters FW commands support Patch 14, Use monitor counters in ethernet netdevice to update FW stats reported in the atomic get_stats64 ndo. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAABAgAGBQJcEEYmAAoJEEg/ir3gV/o+XlIIAKIQhvHnCoGMPsZU+HbA1h3O 10i2hnmQqx2F5Z7tSON9jr9HVzLj6FqQ3pSnTyw8xiMBqOldF6abmfpMPQ/XeWXk PDBCzfOUMAlIsGFAJ06tcz3VLkWrEdoQHmi7Jb4IW+LC9CnZBobzrcLaxQ95txYP LkCfO8Y70D5tzBrzL1o1RfKsCSFJma5zhXDPF/B3rifLyHOmo9aLzZuDvKwvvSkC Y3QM5ulnLqVhxaXA0xzB+iHLiI0nX2H17CBPseLzM+Ip0vZS/nA77rnQ49PUgjiZ d1BoXo9MUa3eoQwXNl+qSAfnGjCwqzplXxzjT2bKKXVc2ZOWmkECgRXmKI6JDDU= =EuqQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mlx5e-updates-2018-12-11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5e-updates-2018-12-11 From Eli Britstein, Patches 1-10 adds remote mirroring support.

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.
