John Hurley says: ==================== Ensure egress un/bind are relayed with indirect blocks On register and unregister for indirect blocks, a command is called that sends a bind/unbind event to the registering driver. This command assumes that the bind to indirect block will be on ingress. However, drivers such as NFP have allowed binding to clsact qdiscs as well as ingress qdiscs from mainline Linux 5.2. A clsact qdisc binds to an ingress and an egress block. Rather than assuming that an indirect bind is always ingress, modify the function names to remove the ingress tag (patch 1). In cls_api, which is used by NFP to offload TC flower, generate bind/unbind message for both ingress and egress blocks on the event of indirectly registering/unregistering from that block. Doing so mimics the behaviour of both ingress and clsact qdiscs on initialise and destroy. This now ensures that drivers such as NFP receive the correct binder type for the indirect block registration. ==================== 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.
