Heiner Kallweit says: ==================== PCI: let pci_disable_link_state propagate errors Drivers like r8169 rely on pci_disable_link_state() having disabled certain ASPM link states. If OS can't control ASPM then pci_disable_link_state() turns into a no-op w/o informing the caller. The driver therefore may falsely assume the respective ASPM link states are disabled. Let pci_disable_link_state() propagate errors to the caller, enabling the caller to react accordingly. I'd propose to let this series go through the netdev tree if the PCI core extension is acked by the PCI people. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
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.
