Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== ethtool: add header/data split indication TCP ZC Rx requires data to be placed neatly into pages, separate from the networking headers. This is not supported by most devices so to make deployment easy this set adds a way for the driver to report support for this feature thru ethtool. The larger scope of configuring splitting headers and data, or DMA scatter seems dauntingly broad, so this set focuses specifically on the question "is this device usable with TCP ZC Rx?". The aim is to avoid a litany of conditions on HW platforms, features, and firmware versions in orchestration systems when the drivers can easily tell their SG config. ==================== 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.
