Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-10-03 This series contains updates to fm10k only. Jake provides majority of the changes in this series, starting with using fm10k_prepare_for_reset() if we lose PCIe link. Before we would detach the device and close the netdev, which left a lot of items still active, such as the Tx/Rx resources. This could cause problems where register reads would return potentially invalid values and would result in unknown driver behavior, so call fm10k_prepare_for_reset() much like we do for suspend/resume cycles. This will attempt to shutdown as much as possible to prevent possible issues. Then replaced the PCI specific legacy power management hooks with the new generic power management hooks for both suspend and hibernate. Introduced a workqueue item which monitors a queue of MAC and VLAN requests since a large number of MAC address or VLAN updates at once can overload the mailbox with too many messages at once. Fixed a cppcheck warning by properly declaring the min_rate and max_rate variables in the declaration and definition for .ndo_set_vf_bw, rather than using "unused" for the minimum rates. Joe Perches fixes the backward logic when using net_ratelimit(). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
