Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-01-09 This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf only. Emil fixes an issue with "wake on LAN"(WoL) where we need to ensure we enable the reception of multicast packets so that WoL works for IPv6 magic packets. Cleaned up code no longer needed with the update to adaptive ITR. Paul update the driver to advertise the highest capable link speed when a module gets inserted. Also extended the displaying of firmware version to include the iSCSI and OEM block in the EEPROM to better identify firmware versions/images. Tonghao Zhang cleans up a code comment that no longer applies since InterruptThrottleRate has been removed from the driver. Alex fixes SR-IOV and MACVLAN offload interaction, where the MACVLAN offload was incorrectly configuring several filters with the wrong pool value which resulted in MACLVAN interfaces not being able to receive traffic that had to pass over the physical interface. Fixed transmit hangs and dropped receive frames when the number of VFs changed. Added support for RSS on MACVLAN pools for X550 devices. Fixed up the MACVLAN limitations so we can now support 63 offloaded devices. Cleaned up MACVLAN code that is no longer needed with the recent changes and fixes. ==================== 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.
