Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-05-31 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only. Jesse provides a couple of fixes, starting with cleaning up duplicate lines of code. Fixed a missing line which enables RSS as a negotiated feature. Since the VF does not have any way of reporting FCoE enabled, so just force the code to always report FCoE as disabled. Jake provides several fixes and changes, starting with fixing a race condition in i40e. The hardware has a limitation on transmit PTP packets, which requires us to limit the driver to timestamping a single packet at once. This is done using a state bitlock which enforces that only one timestamp request is honored at a time, unfortunately this suffers from a race condition. Fixed a corner case where we failed to cleanup the bit lock after a failed transmit, and resulted in a state bit being locked forever. Added a new statistic which tracks when a transmit timestamp request is skipped/ignored, since the driver can only handle one transmit timestamp request at a time. Christophe Jaillet fixes a NULL pointer dereference if kzalloc fails. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

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.
