David S. Miller 3bd09b05b0 mlx5e-updates-2018-10-01
This series includes updates to mlx5e ethernet netdevice driver:
 
 From Or Gerlitz:
 1) Support masks for l3/l4 filters in ethtool flow steering
 2) Report checksum unnecessary also when the L3 checksum flag on the
    cqe is set and there's no L4 header
 3) Allow reporting of checksum unnecessary, using an ethtool private flag.
 
 From Gavi Teitz and Or, VF representors netdevs performance improvements
 4) Allow striding RQ in VF representor and bigger RQ size, ~3X performance improvement
 5) Enable stateless offloads for VF representor, csum and TSO, 1.5X performance improvement
 6) RSS Support for VF representors
    6.1) Allow flow table destination fir VF representor steering rule.
    6.2) Create RSS flow table per representor netdev
    6.3) Expose mlx5e RSS ethtool to be used by representor netdevs
    6.4) Enable multi-queue and RSS for VF representors, using mlx5e existing infrastructure
             for managing a multi-queue RX RSS tables.
 
 From Alaa Hleihel:
 7) Cache the system image guid, The system image guid is a read-only field
    Read this once and save it on the core device.

README

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.
