mlx5 connection tracking offloads updates:
 
 1)  Restore CT state from lookup in zone instead of tupleid
 
     On a miss, Use this zone + 5 tuple taken from the skb, to lookup the CT
     entry and restore it, instead of the driver allocated tuple id.
 
     This improves flow insertion rate by avoiding the allocation of a header
     rewrite context to maintain the tupleid.
 
 2) Re-use modify header HW objects for identical modify actions.
 
 3) Expand tunnel register mappings
    Reg_c1 is 32 bits wide. Before this patchset, 24 bit were allocated
    for the tuple_id,  6 bits for tunnel mapping and 2 bits for tunnel
    options mappings.
 
    Restoring the ct state from zone lookup instead of tuple id requires
    reg_c1 to store 8 bits mapping the ct zone, leaving 24 bits for tunnel
    mappings.
 
    Expand tunnel and tunnel options register mappings to 12 bit each.
 
 4) Trivial cleanup and fixes.

====================
mlx5-updates-2020-07-09

This series provides updates to mlx5 CT (connection tracking) offloads
For more information please see tag log below.

Please pull and let me know if there is any problem.

The following conflict is expected when net is merged into net-next:
to resolve just use the hunks from net-next.

<<<<<<< HEAD (net-next)

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.
