Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== udp_tunnel: convert Intel drivers with shared tables This set converts Intel drivers which have the ability to spawn multiple netdevs, but have only one UDP tunnel port table. Appropriate support is added to the core infra in patch 1, followed by netdevsim support and a selftest. The table sharing works by core attaching the same table structure to all devices sharing the table. This means the reference count has to accommodate potentially large values. Once core is ready i40e and ice are converted. These are complex drivers, but we got a tested-by from Aaron, so we should be good :) Compared to v1 I've made sure the selftest is executable. Other than that patches 8 and 9 are actually from the Mellanox conversion series were kept out to avoid Mellanox vs Intel conflicts. Last patch is new, some docs to let users knows ethtool can now display UDP tunnel info. ==================== 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.
