Tariq Toukan says: ==================== net/mlx5: Convert mlx5 to netdev instance locking Cosmin Ratiu says: mlx5 manages multiple netdevices, from basic Ethernet to Infiniband netdevs. This patch series converts the driver to use netdev instance locking for everything in preparation for TCP devmem Zero Copy. Because mlx5 is tightly coupled with the ipoib driver, a series of changes first happen in ipoib to allow it to work with mlx5 netdevs that use instance locking: IB/IPoIB: Enqueue separate work_structs for each flushed interface IB/IPoIB: Replace vlan_rwsem with the netdev instance lock IB/IPoIB: Allow using netdevs that require the instance lock A small patch then avoids dropping RTNL during firmware update: net/mlx5e: Don't drop RTNL during firmware flash The main patch then converts all mlx5 netdevs to use instance locking: net/mlx5e: Convert mlx5 netdevs to instance locking ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/1747829342-1018757-1-git-send-email-tariqt@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
