mainlining shenanigans
a550409378
This patch series contains various fixes, additions and improvements to
mlx5 software steering.
Patch 1:
adds support for REMOVE_HEADER packet reformat - a new reformat type
that is supported starting with ConnectX-6 DX, and allows removing an
arbitrary size packet segment at a selected position.
Patches 2 and 3:
add support for VLAN pop on TX and VLAN push on RX flows.
Patch 4:
enables retransmission mechanism for the SW Steering RC QP.
Patch 5:
does some improvements to error flow in building STE array and adds
a more informative printout of an invalid actions sequence.
Patch 6:
improves error flow on SW Steering QP error.
Patch 7:
reduces the log level of a message that is printed when a table is
connected to a lower/same level destination table, as this case proves to
be not as rare as it was in the past.
Patch 8:
adds missing support for matching on IPv6 flow label for devices
older than ConnectX-6 DX.
Patch 9:
replaces uintN_t types with kernel-style types.
Patch 10:
allows for using the right API for updating flow tables - if it is
a FW-owned table, then FW API will be used.
Patch 11:
adds support for 'ignore_flow_level' on multi-destination flow
tables that are created by SW Steering.
Patch 12:
optimizes FDB RX steering rule by skipping matching on source port,
as the source port for all incoming packets equals to wire.
Patch 13:
is a small code refactoring - it merges several DR_STE_SIZE enums
into a single enum.
Patch 14:
does some additional refactoring and removes HW-specific STE type
from NIC domain.
Patch 15:
removes rehash ctrl struct from dr_htbl struct and saves some memory.
Patch 16:
does a more significant improvement in terms of memory consumption
and was able to save about 1.6 Gb for 8M rules.
Patch 17:
adds support for update FTE, which is needed for cases where there
are multiple rules with the same match.

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.
