This series provides updates to mlx5 header rewrite feature, from Or Gerlitz.
 and three more small updates From maor and eran.
 
 -------
 Or says:
 
 Packets belonging to flows which are different by matching may still need
 to go through the same header re-writes (e.g set the current routing hop
 MACs and issue TTL decrement).  To minimize the number of modify header
 IDs, we add a cache for header re-write IDs which is keyed by the binary
 chain of modify header actions.
 
 The caching is supported for both eswitch and NIC use-cases, where the
 actual conversion of the code to use caching comes in separate patches,
 one per use-case.
 
 Using a per field mask field, the TC pedit action supports modifying
 partial fields. The last patch enables offloading that.
 -------
 
 From Maor, update flow table commands layout to the latest HW spec.
 From Eran, ethtool connector type reporting updates.
 
 Thanks,
 Saeed.

README

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.
