Maxime Chevallier says: ==================== Introduce PHY listing and link_topology tracking This is V11 for the link topology addition, allowing to track all PHYs that are linked to netdevices. This V11 addresses the various netlink-related issues that were raised by Jakub, and fixes some typos in the documentation. As a remainder, here's what the PHY listings would look like : - eth0 has a 88x3310 acting as media converter, and an SFP module with an embedded 88e1111 PHY - eth2 has a 88e1510 PHY PHY for eth0: PHY index: 1 Driver name: mv88x3310 PHY device name: f212a600.mdio-mii:00 Downstream SFP bus name: sfp-eth0 PHY id: 0 Upstream type: MAC PHY for eth0: PHY index: 2 Driver name: Marvell 88E1111 PHY device name: i2c:sfp-eth0:16 PHY id: 21040322 Upstream type: PHY Upstream PHY index: 1 Upstream SFP name: sfp-eth0 PHY for eth2: PHY index: 1 Driver name: Marvell 88E1510 PHY device name: f212a200.mdio-mii:00 PHY id: 21040593 Upstream type: MAC Ethtool patches : https://github.com/minimaxwell/ethtool/tree/link-topo-v6 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
