Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-02-12 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Alan fixes a spelling mistake in code comments. Fixes an issue on older firmware versions or NPAR enabled PFs which do not support the I40E_FLAG_DISABLE_FW_LLDP flag and would get into a situation where any attempt to change any priv flag would be forbidden. Alex got busy with the ITR code and made several cleanups and fixes so that we can more easily understand what is going on. The fixes included a computational fix when determining the register offset, as well as a fix for unnecessarily toggling the CLEARPBA bit which could lead to potential lost events if auto-masking is not enabled. Filip adds a necessary delay to recover after a EMP reset when using firmware version 4.33. Paweł adds a warning message for MFP devices when the link-down-on-close flag is set because it may affect other partitions. ==================== 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.
