Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== Mellanox mlx5e XDP performance optimization This series provides some preformancee optimizations for mlx5e driver, especially for XDP TX flows. 1st patch is a simple change of rmb to dma_rmb in CQE fetch routine which shows a huge gain for both RX and TX packet rates. 2nd patch removes write combining logic from the driver TX handler and simplifies the TX logic while improving TX CPU utilization. All other patches combined provide some refactoring to the driver TX flows to allow some significant XDP TX improvements. More details and performance numbers per patch can be found in each patch commit message compared to the preceding patch.

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.
