Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-08-28 This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf only. Sebastian adds support for firmware NVM recovery mode, which logs a message when errors are detected and un-registers the device. Also fixed RSS type recognition with VF to VF communication. Shannon Nelson implements IPsec hardware offload for VF devices in Intel's 10GbE x540 family of Ethernet devices. The IPsec HW offload feature has been in the x540/Niantic family of network devices since their release in 2009, but there was no Linux kernel support for the offload until 2017. After the XFRM code added support for the offload last year, the HW offload was added to the ixgbe PF driver. Since the related x540 VF device uses same setup as the PF for implementing the offload, adding the feature to the ixgbevf seemed like a good idea. In this case, the PF owns the device registers, so the VF simply packages up the request information into a VF<->PF message and the PF does the device configuration. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
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.
