Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-12-20 This series contains updates to e100, igb, ixgbe, i40e and ice drivers. I replaced spinlocks for mutex locks to reduce the latency on CPU0 for igb when updating the statistics. This work was based off a patch provided by Jan Jablonsky, which was against an older version of the igb driver. Jesus adjusts the receive packet buffer size from 32K to 30K when running in QAV mode, to stay within 60K for total packet buffer size for igb. Vinicius adds igb kernel documentation regarding the CBS algorithm and its implementation in the i210 family of NICs. YueHaibing from Huawei fixed the e100 driver that was potentially passing a NULL pointer, so use the kernel macro IS_ERR_OR_NULL() instead. Konstantin Khorenko fixes i40e where we were not setting up the neigh_priv_len in our net_device, which caused the driver to read beyond the neighbor entry allocated memory. Miroslav Lichvar extends the PTP gettime() to read the system clock by adding support for PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED ioctl in i40e. Young Xiao fixed the ice driver to only enable NAPI on q_vectors that actually have transmit and receive rings. Kai-Heng Feng fixes an igb issue that when placed in suspend mode, the NIC does not wake up when a cable is plugged in. This was due to the driver not setting PME during runtime suspend. Stephen Douthit enables the ixgbe driver allow DSA devices to use the MII interface to talk to switches. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

README
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.
