Thomas Falcon says: ==================== ibmvnic: LPM bug fixes This series of small patches is meant to resolve a number of bugs, mostly occurring during an ibmvnic driver reset when recovering from a logical partition migration (LPM). The first patch ensures that RX buffer pools are properly activated following an adapter reset by setting the proper flag in the pool data structure. The second patch uses netif_tx_disable to stop TX queues when closing the device during a reset. Third, fixup a typo that resulted in partial sanitization of TX/RX descriptor queues following a device reset. Fourth, remove an ambiguous conditional check that was resulting in a kernel panic as null RX/TX completion descriptors were being processed during napi polling while the device is closing. Finally, fix a condition where the napi polling routine exits before it has completed its work budget without notifying the upper network layers. This omission could result in the napi_disable function sleeping indefinitely under certain conditions. v2: Attempt to provide a proper cover letter ==================== 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.
