mainlining shenanigans
b1f7071469
On some platforms, the current logic of relying on finding new packet
solely based on signature pattern can lead to driver reading stale
packets. Though this is a bug in those platforms, reduce such exposures by
limiting reading packets until the IN pointer.
Two module parameters are introduced:
ql2xrspq_follow_inptr:
When set, on newer adapters that has queue pointer shadowing, look for
response packets only until response queue in pointer.
When reset, response packets are read based on a signature pattern
logic (old way).
ql2xrspq_follow_inptr_legacy:
Like ql2xrspq_follow_inptr, but for those adapters where there is no
queue pointer shadowing.

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.
