Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== devlink, mlx5: Add new parameters for link management and SRIOV/eSwitch configurations [part] This patch series introduces several devlink parameters improving device configuration capabilities, link management, and SRIOV/eSwitch, by adding NV config boot time parameters. Implement the following parameters: a) total_vfs Parameter: ----------------------- Adds support for managing the number of VFs (total_vfs) and enabling SR-IOV (enable_sriov for mlx5) through devlink. These additions enhance user control over virtualization features directly from standard kernel interfaces without relying on additional external tools. total_vfs functionality is critical for environments that require flexible num VF configuration. b) CQE Compression Type: ------------------------ Introduces a new devlink parameter, cqe_compress_type, to configure the rate of CQE compression based on PCIe bus conditions. This setting provides a balance between compression efficiency and overall NIC performance under different traffic loads. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250907012953.301746-1-saeed@kernel.org 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 reStructuredText 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.
