mainlining shenanigans
354e1f9d88
The following patchset provides two separate mlx5 updates
1) Ethtool RSS context and MQPRIO channel mode support:
1.1) enable mlx5e netdev driver to allow creating Transport Interface RX
(TIRs) objects on the fly to be used for ethtool RSS contexts and
TX MQPRIO channel mode
1.2) Introduce mlx5e_rss object to manage such TIRs.
1.3) Ethtool support for RSS context
1.4) Support MQPRIO channel mode
2) Bridge offloads Lag support:
to allow adding bond net devices to mlx5 bridge
2.1) Address bridge port by (vport_num, esw_owner_vhca_id) pair
since vport_num is only unique per eswitch and in lag mode we
need to manage ports from both eswitches.
2.2) Allow connectivity between representors of different eswitch
instances that are attached to same bridge
2.3) Bridge LAG, Require representors to be in shared FDB mode and
introduce local and peer ports representors,
match on paired eswitch metadata in peer FDB entries,
And finally support addition/deletion and aging of peer flows.

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.
