Jiri Pirko says: ==================== expose flash update status to user When user is flashing device using devlink, he currenly does not see any information about what is going on, percentages, etc. Drivers, for example mlxsw and mlx5, have notion about the progress and what is happening. This patchset exposes this progress information to userspace. Example output for existing flash command: $ devlink dev flash pci/0000:01:00.0 file firmware.bin Preparing to flash Flashing 100% Flashing done See this console recording which shows flashing FW on a Mellanox Spectrum device: https://asciinema.org/a/247926 Please see individual patches for changelog. v2->v3 only adds tags and the last selftest patch ==================== 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.
