Tariq Toukan says:

====================
mlx4 XDP performance improvements

This patchset contains data-path improvements, mainly for XDP_DROP
and XDP_TX cases.

Main patches:
* Patch 2 by Saeed allows enabling optimized A0 RX steering (in HW) when
  setting a single RX ring.
  With this configuration, HW packet-rate dramatically improves,
  reaching 28.1 Mpps in XDP_DROP case for both IPv4 (37% gain)
  and IPv6 (53% gain).
* Patch 6 enhances the XDP xmit function. Among other changes, now we
  ring one doorbell per NAPI. Patch gives 17% gain in XDP_TX case.
* Patch 7 obsoletes the NAPI of XDP_TX completion queue and integrates its
  poll into the respective RX NAPI. Patch gives 15% gain in XDP_TX case.

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.
