40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-08-30
This series contains updates to i40e, i40evf and virtchnl.
Jake implements helper functions to use an array to handle the queue
stats which reduces the boiler plate code as well as keep the complexity
localized to a few functions.
Paweł adds the ability to change a VF's MAC address from the host side
without having to reload the VF driver on the guest side.
Paul adds a check to ensure that the number of queues that the PF sends
to the VF is equal to or less than the maximum number of queues the VF
can support.
Mitch fixes an issue caught by GCC 8, where we need to not include the
terminating null in the length of the string for strncpy().
Lihong fixes a VF issue to ensure that it does not enter into
promiscuous mode when macvlan is added to the VF. Fixed a potential
crash after a VF is removed, since the workqueue sync for the adminq
task was not being cancelled.
Harshitha fixes the type for field_flags in the virtchnl_filter struct.
Martyna removes an unnecessary check in a conditional if statement.
Björn fixes an issue reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer, where the
driver was reporting incorrect statistics when XDP was enabled.
Jan fixes the potential reporting of incorrect speed settings.
Patryk fixed an issue where the flag
I40EVF_FLAG_AQ_ENABLE_VLAN_STRIPPING was getting set when any offload is
set via ethtool. Resolved by only setting this flag when VLAN offload
is enabled. Also ensure we hold the rtnl lock when we are clearing the
interrupt scheme. Added a check when deleting the MAC address from the
VF to ensure that the MAC address was not set by the PF and if it was,
do not delete it.
v2: updated patch 2 in the series based on community feedback from David
Miller to inline a function

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.
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.
