Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Offload tc police action This patch set adds support for tc police action in mlxsw. Patches #1-#2 add defines for policer bandwidth limits and resource identifiers (e.g., maximum number of policers). Patch #3 adds a common policer core in mlxsw. Currently it is only used by the policy engine, but future patch sets will use it for trap policers and storm control policers. The common core allows us to share common logic between all policer types and abstract certain details from the various users in mlxsw. Patch #4 exposes the maximum number of supported policers and their current usage to user space via devlink-resource. This provides better visibility and also used for selftests purposes. Patches #5-#7 gradually add support for tc police action in the policy engine by calling into previously mentioned policer core. Patch #8 adds a generic selftest for tc-police that can be used with veth pairs or physical loopbacks. Patches #9-#11 add mlxsw-specific selftests. ==================== 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 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.
