Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-08-08 This series contains updates to e1000e and igb/igbvf. Gangfeng Huang fixes an issue with receive network flow classification, where igb_nfc_filter_exit() was not being called in igb_down() which would cause the filter tables to "fill up" if a user where to change the adapter settings (such as speed) which requires a reset of the adapter. Cliff Spradlin fixes a timestamping issue, where igb was allowing requests for hardware timestamping even if it was not configured for hardware transmit timestamping. Corinna Vinschen removes the error message that there was an "unexpected SYS WRAP", when it is actually expected. So remove the message to not confuse users. Greg Edwards provides several patches for the mailbox interface between the PF and VF drivers. Added a mailbox unlock method to be used to unlock the PF/VF mailbox by the PF. Added a lock around the VF mailbox ops to prevent the VF from sending another message while the PF is still processing the previous message. Fixed a "scheduling while atomic" issue by changing msleep() to mdelay(). Sasha adds support for the next LOM generations i219 (v8 & v9) which will be available in the next Intel client platform IceLake. John Linville adds support for a Broadcom PHY to the igb driver, since there are designs out in the world which use the igb MAC and a third party PHY. This allows the driver to load and function as expected on these designs. ==================== 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.
