10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-04-18
This series contains updates to mainly ixgbe with only one ixgbevf change.
Usha adds a check to ensure the creation of number of VF's is valid based
on the traffic classes configured, all to avoid transmit hangs.
Joe Perches reduces the use of pr_cont since the output can be interleaved
by other processes.
Tony cleans up the code overwriting the KX4 config, which is configured by
the NVM. Adds a check for MMNGC.MNG_VETO, to resolve an issue where we
were getting a link loss for the BMC when loading the driver.
Don fixes up SGMII x553 config details which were missed in earlier
implementations. Added support for x552 XFI backplane interface support.
Cleaned up an unused define, which was causing confusion on supported
devices.
Emil fixes a link issue on KR parts by making sure the default setting is
set. Refactors the code so that the code for allocating memory for the
list of MAC addresses that the VFs can use into its own function. Made
some code cleans to help readability and ensure notification of SRIOV
being enabled is done upon completion. Fixed an issue where if we failed
to allocate vfinfo in __ixgbe_enable_sriov() the driver would crash with
a NULL pointer dereference.
Philippe Reynes updates ixgbevf to use the new API for
{get|set}_link_ksettings.
Alex increases the headroom allocation when using build_skb() on a
system with 4K pages. Fixed an issue in ixgbe_dump() where we were no
longer clearing the status bit.
