This series provides some updates to the mlx5 core and netdevice drivers. Three patches from Tariq, Introduces page reuse mechanism in non-Striding RQ RX datapath, we allow the the RX descriptor to reuse its allocated page as much as it could, until the page is fully consumed. RX page reuse reduces the stress on page allocator and improves RX performance especially with high speeds (100Gb/s). Next four patches of the series from Or allows to offload tc flower matching on ttl/hoplimit and header re-write of hoplimit. The rest of the series from Yotam and Or enhances mlx5 to support FW flashing through the mlxfw module, in a similar manner done by the mlxsw driver. Currently, only ethtool based flashing is implemented, where both Eth and IB ports are supported.

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.
