Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== Get rid of the switchdev transactional model Changes in v4: - Fixed build error in dsa_loop and build warning in hellcreek driver. - Scheduling the mlxsw SPAN work item regardless of the VLAN add return code, as per Ido's and Petr's request. Changes in v3: - Resolved a build warning in mv88e6xxx and tested that it actually works properly, which resulted in an extra patch (02/11). - Addressed Ido's minor feedback in commit 10/11 relating to a comment. Changes in v2: - Got rid of the vid_begin -> vid_end range too from the switchdev API. - Actually propagating errors from DSA MDB and VLAN notifiers. This series comes after the late realization that the prepare/commit separation imposed by switchdev does not help literally anybody: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20201212203901.351331-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ We should kill it before it inflicts even more damage to the error handling logic in drivers. Also remove the unused VLAN ranges feature from the switchdev VLAN objects, which simplifies all drivers by quite a bit. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210109000156.1246735-1-olteanv@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
