====================
40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-08-27
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.
Sudheer updates code comments and state variable so that adminq_subtask
will have accutate information whenever it gets scheduled.
Mariusz stores information about FEC modes, to be used to printing link
states information, so that we do not need to call admin queue when
reporting link status. Adds VF support for controlling VLAN tag
stripping via ethtool.
Jake provides the majority of changes in this series, starting with
increasing the size of the prefix buffer so that it can hold enough
characters for every possible input, which prevents snprintf truncation.
Fixed other string truncation errors/warnings produced by GCC 7.x.
Removed an unnecessary workaround for resetting XPS. Fixed an issue
where there is a mismatched affinity mask value, so initialize the value
to cpu_possible_mask and invert the logic for checking incorrect CPU vs
IRQ affinity so that the exceptional case is handled at the check.
Removed ULTRA latency mode due to several issues found and will be
looking at better solution for small packet workloads.
Akeem fixes an issue where the incorrect flag was being used to set
promiscuous mode for unicast, which was enabling promiscuous mode only
for multicast instead of unicast.
Carolyn fixes an issue where an error return value is set, but this
value can be overwritten before we actually do exit the function. So
remove the error code assignment and add code comments for better
understanding on why we do not need to set and return the error.
