Andrew Lunn says: ==================== net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Improve PTP access latency PTP needs to retrieve the hardware timestamps from the switch device in a low latency manor. However ethtool -S and bridge fdb show can hold the switch register access mutex for a long time. These patches changes the reading the statistics and the ATU so that the mutex is released and taken again between each statistic or ATU entry. The PTP code can then interleave its access to the hardware, keeping its latency low. ==================== 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.
