Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Add support for VxLAN with IPv6 underlay So far, mlxsw only supported VxLAN with IPv4 underlay. This patchset extends mlxsw to also support VxLAN with IPv6 underlay. The main difference is related to the way IPv6 addresses are handled by the device. See patch #1 for a detailed explanation. Patch #1 creates a common hash table to store the mapping from IPv6 addresses to KVDL indexes. This table is useful for both IP-in-IP and VxLAN tunnels with an IPv6 underlay. Patch #2 converts the IP-in-IP code to use the new hash table. Patches #3-#6 are preparations. Patch #7 finally adds support for VxLAN with IPv6 underlay. Patch #8 removes a test case that checked that VxLAN configurations with IPv6 underlay are vetoed by the driver. A follow-up patchset will add forwarding selftests. ==================== 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.
