Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Fixes 2018-12-12 This series contains fixes to i40e and ixgbe. Stefan Assmann fixes an issue created by a previous fix, where ether_addr_copy() was moved to avoid a race but did not take into account that it alters the MAC address being handed to i40e_del_mac_filter(). Michał Mirosław provides 2 fixes for i40e, first resolves issues in the hardware VLAN offload where VLAN.TCI equal to 0 was being dropped and a race between disabling VLAN receive feature in hardware and processing the receive queue, where packets could have their VLAN information dropped. Ross Lagerwall fixes a racy condition during a ixgbe VF reset, where writing the register to issue a reset and sending the reset message via the mailbox API could result of the mailbox memory getting cleared during the reset before the message gets successfully sent which results in a VF driver malfunction. ==================== 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 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.
