Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-01-24 This series contains updates to igb and e1000e only. Corinna Vinschen implements the ability to set the VF MAC to 00:00:00:00:00:00 via RTM_SETLINK on the PF, to prevent receiving "invlaid argument" when libvirt attempts to restore the MAC address back to its original state of 00:00:00:00:00:00. Zhang Shengju adds a new function igb_get_max_rss_queues() to get the maxium number of RSS queues and to reduce code duplication. Matt fixes an issue with e1000e where when setting HTHREST, we should only be setting bit 8. Also added a dev_info() message to alert when C-states have been disabled, to help in debugging. Jesus adds code comments to clarify the idlescope configuration constraints. Lyude Paul fixes a kernel crash on hotplug of igb, by checking to ensure that we are in the process of dismantling the netdev on hotplug events. Markus Elfring removes a duplicate message for a memory allocation failure. Daniel Hua fixes an issue where transmit timestamps will stop being put into the socket when link is repeatedly up/down due to TSYNCTXCTL's TXTT bit (Transmit timestamp valid bit) not clearing in the timeout logic of ptp_tx_work(), which in turn causes no new timestamp to be loaded to the TXSTMP register. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
