Petr Machata says: ==================== selftests: mlxsw: Fixes This patch set carries fixes to selftest issues that we have hit in our nightly regression run. Almost all are in mlxsw selftests, though one is in a generic forwarding selftest. - In patch #1, in an ERSPAN test, install an FDB entry as static instead of (implicitly) as local. - In the mlxsw resource-scale test, an if statement overrides the value of $?, which is supposed to contain the result of the test. As a result, the resource scale test can spuriously pass. In patches #2 and #3, remove the if statements to fix the issue in, respectively, port_scale test and tc_flower_scale tests. - Again in the mlxsw resource-scale test, when more then one sub-test is run, a successful sub-test overrides any previous failures. This causes a spurious pass of the overall test. This is fixed in patch #4. - In patch #5, increase a tolerance in a mlxsw-specific RED backlog test. This test is very noisy, due to rounding errors and the unpredictability of software traffic generation. By bumping the tolerance from 5 % to 10, get the failure rate to zero. This shouldn't impact the accuracy, mistakes in backlog configuration (e.g. due to wrong cell size) are likely to cause a much larger discrepancy. - In patch #6, fix mausezahn invocation in the mlxsw ERSPAN scale test. The test failed because of the wrong invocation. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
