40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-03-27
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.
Alex updates the driver code so that we can do bulk updates of the page
reference count instead of just incrementing it by one reference at a
time. Fixed an issue where we were not resetting skb back to NULL when
we have freed it. Cleaned up the i40e_process_skb_fields() to align with
other Intel drivers. Removed FCoE code, since it is not supported in any
of the Fortville/Fortpark hardware, so there is not much point of carrying
the code around, especially if it is broken and untested.
Harshitha fixes a bug in the driver where the calculation of the RSS size
was not taking into account the number of traffic classes enabled.
Robert fixes a potential race condition during VF reset by eliminating
IOMMU DMAR Faults caused by VF hardware and when the OS initiates a VF
reset and before the reset is finished we modify the VF's settings.
Bimmy removes a delay that is no longer needed, since it was only needed
for preproduction hardware.
Colin King fixes null pointer dereference, where VSI was being
dereferenced before the VSI NULL check.
Jake fixes an issue with the recent addition of the "client code" to the
driver, where we attempt to use an uninitialized variable, so correctly
initialize the params variable by calling i40e_client_get_params().
v2: dropped patch 5 of the original series from Carolyn since we need
more documentation and reason why the added delay, so Carolyn is
taking the time to update the patch before we re-submit it for
kernel inclusion.

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.
