Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-updates-2017-09-03 This series from Tariq includes micro data path optimization for mlx5e netdevice driver. Mainly Tariq introduces the following changes to NAPI and RX handling path of the driver: - RX ring structure reorganizing - Trivial code refactoring and optimization - NAPI busy-poll for when fast UMR is in progress - Non-atomic state operations in NAPI context - Remove unnecessary fields from fast path structures - page-cache micro optimization - Rely on NAPI to avoid missing an IRQ for RX/TX shared NAPI contexts - Stop NAPI when irq changes affinity - Distribute RSS table among all RX rings ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
