1) From Tariq, Two patches to Fix IPoIB issues introduced in
    "net/mlx5e: TX, Use actual WQE size for SQ edge fill"
 
 2) From Eran, Additional improvements to mlx5e statistics reporting
 
 3) From Maor, Increase aRFS flow tables size
 
 4) From Adi, Support MTU change for ethernet representors
 
 5) From Ilan and Adi, Handle QP error events in FPGA
 
 6) From Tariq, last 10 patches mainly deals with RX buffer scheme improvements for legacy RQ
    to use only order-0 pages and fragmented SKBs for large MTUs.
 
 -  Tariq starts with some refactoring and removing HW LRO support from traditional
    (legacy) RQ, since it complicates the buffer scheme and removing it makes it smoother
    to move to cyclic descriptor buffer for traditional RQ.
 
 - Use cyclic WQ in legacy RQ, which has many benefits and paves the way for fragmented SKBs
   for large MTUs.
 
 - Enhance legacy Receive Queue memory scheme, such that only order-0 pages are used.
   Whenever possible, prefer using a linear SKB, and build it wrapping the WQE buffer.
   Otherwise (for example, jumbo frames on x86), use non-linear SKB, with as many frags
   as needed. In this case, multiple WQE scatter entries are used, up to a maximum of 4
   frags and 10KB of MTU.
 
 - TX statistics access improvements.

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.
