Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Expose transceiver overheat counter Amit says: An overheated transceiver can be the root cause of various network problems such as link flapping. Counting the number of times a transceiver's temperature was higher than its configured threshold can therefore help in debugging such issues. This patch set exposes a transceiver overheat counter via ethtool. This is achieved by configuring the Spectrum ASIC to generate events whenever a transceiver is overheated. The temperature thresholds are queried from the transceiver (if available) and set to the default otherwise. Example: ... transceiver_overheat: 2 Patch set overview: Patches #1-#3 add required device registers Patches #4-#5 add required infrastructure in mlxsw to configure and count overheat events Patches #6-#9 gradually add support for the transceiver overheat counter Patch #10 exposes the transceiver overheat counter via ethtool ==================== 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.
