====================
mlx5 TLS TX HW offload support
This series from Eran and me, adds TLS TX HW offload support to
the mlx5 driver.
This offloads the kTLS encryption process from kernel to the
Mellanox NIC, saving CPU cycles and improving utilization.
Upon a new TLS connection request, driver is responsible to create
a dedicated HW context and configure it according to the crypto info,
so HW can do the encryption itself.
When the HW context gets out-of-sync (i.e. due to packets retransmission),
driver is responsible for the re-sync process.
This is done by posting special resync descriptors to the HW.
Feature is supported on Mellanox Connect-X 6DX, and newer.
Series was tested on SimX simulator.

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.
