Petr Machata says: ==================== mlxsw: Cleanups in router code This patchset moves some router-related code from spectrum.c to spectrum_router.c where it should be. It also simplifies handlers of netevent notifications. - Patch #1 caches router pointer in a dedicated variable. This obviates the need to access the same as mlxsw_sp->router, making lines shorter, and permitting a future patch to add code that fits within 80 character limit. - Patch #2 moves IP / IPv6 validation notifier blocks from spectrum.c to spectrum_router, where the handlers are anyway. - In patch #3, pass router pointer to scheduler of deferred work directly, instead of having it deduce it on its own. - This makes the router pointer available in the handler function mlxsw_sp_router_netevent_event(), so in patch #4, use it directly, instead of finding it through mlxsw_sp_port. - In patch #5, extend mlxsw_sp_router_schedule_work() so that the NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE handler can use it directly instead of inlining equivalent code. - In patches #6 and #7, add helpers for two common operations involving a backing netdev of a RIF. This makes it unnecessary for the function mlxsw_sp_rif_dev() to be visible outside of the router module, so in patch #8, hide it. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
