Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== net: sched: add extack support for cls offloads I've dropped the tests from the series because test_offloads.py changes will conflict with bpf-next patches. I will send four more patches with tests once bpf-next is merged back, hopefully still making it into 4.16 :) v4: - rebase on top of Alex's changes. --- Quentin says: This series tries to improve user experience when eBPF hardware offload hits error paths at load time. In particular, it introduces netlink extended ack support in the nfp driver. To that aim, transmission of the pointer to the extack object is piped through the `change()` operation of the existing classifiers (patch 1 to 6). Then it is used for TC offload in the nfp driver (patch 8) and in netdevsim (patch 9, selftest in patch 10). Patch 7 adds a helper to handle extack messages in the core when TC offload is disabled on the net device. For completeness extack is propagated for classifiers other than cls_bpf, but it's up to the drivers to make use of it. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

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.
