Alexander Duyck says: ==================== eth: fbnic: Add network driver for Meta Platforms Host Network Interface This patch set includes the necessary patches to enable basic Tx and Rx over the Meta Platforms Host Network Interface. To do this we introduce a new driver and driver directories in the form of "drivers/net/ethernet/meta/fbnic". The NIC itself is fairly simplistic. As far as speeds we support 25Gb, 50Gb, and 100Gb and we are mostly focused on speeds and feeds. As far as future patch sets we will be supporting the basic Rx/Tx offloads such as header/payload data split, TSO, checksum, and timestamp offloads. We have access to the MAC and PCS from the NIC, however the PHY and QSFP are hidden behind a FW layer as it is shared between 4 slices and the BMC. Due to submission limits the general plan to submit a minimal driver for now almost equivalent to a UEFI driver in functionality, and then follow up over the coming months enabling additional offloads and enabling more features for the device. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/172079913640.1778861.11459276843992867323.stgit@ahduyck-xeon-server.home.arpa Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
