Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-updates-2017-06-11 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. ==================== 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.
