Eric Dumazet says: ==================== mlx4: order-0 allocations and page recycling As mentioned half a year ago, we better switch mlx4 driver to order-0 allocations and page recycling. This reduces vulnerability surface thanks to better skb->truesize tracking and provides better performance in most cases. (33 Gbit for one TCP flow on my lab hosts) I will provide for linux-4.13 a patch on top of this series, trying to improve data locality as described in https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg422258.html v2 provides an ethtool -S new counter (rx_alloc_pages) and code factorization, plus Tariq fix. v3 includes various fixes based on Tariq tests and feedback from Saeed and Tariq. v4 rebased on net-next for inclusion in linux-4.12, as requested by Tariq. Worth noting this patch series deletes ~250 lines of code ;) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
