Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-04-25 This series represents yet another phase of the macvlan cleanup Alex has been working on. The main goal of these changes is to make it so that we only support offloading what we can actually offload and we don't break any existing functionality. So for example we were claiming to advertise source mode macvlan and we were doing nothing of the sort, so support for that has been dropped. The biggest change with this set is that broadcast/multicast replication is no longer being supported in software. Alex dropped it as it leads to scaling issues when a broadcast frame has to be replicated up to 64 times. Beyond that this set goes through and optimized the time needed to bring up and tear down the macvlan interfaces on ixgbe and provides a clean way for us to disable the macvlan offload when needed. ==================== 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.
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.
