Martin Habets says: ==================== Move Siena into a separate subdirectory The Siena NICs (SFN5000 and SFN6000 series) went EOL in November 2021. Most of these adapters have been remove from our test labs, and testing has been reduced to a minimum. This patch series creates a separate kernel module for the Siena architecture, analogous to what was done for Falcon some years ago. This reduces our maintenance for the sfc.ko module, and allows us to enhance the EF10 and EF100 drivers without the risk of breaking Siena NICs. After this series further enhancements are needed to differentiate the new kernel module from sfc.ko, and the Siena code can be removed from sfc.ko. Thes will be posted as a small follow-up series. The Siena module is not built by default, but can be enabled using Kconfig option SFC_SIENA. This will create module sfc-siena.ko. Patches Patches 1-3 establish the code base for the Siena driver. Patches 4-10 ensure the allyesconfig build succeeds. Patch 11 adds the basic Siena module. I do not expect patch 1 through 3 to be reviewed, they are FYI only. No checkpatch issues were resolved as part of these, but they were fixed in the subsequent patches. Testing Various build tests were done such as allyesconfig, W=1 and sparse. The new sfc-siena.ko and sfc.ko modules were tested on a machine with both these NICs in them, and several tests were run on both drivers. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/165211018297.5289.9658523545298485394.stgit@palantir17.mph.net Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

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.
