Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== Fixes for Ocelot driver statistics This series contains bug fixes for the ocelot drivers (both switchdev and DSA). Some concern the counters exposed to ethtool -S, and others to the counters exposed to ifconfig. I'm aware that the changes are fairly large, but I wanted to prioritize on a proper approach to addressing the issues rather than a quick hack. Some of the noticed problems: - bad register offsets for some counters - unhandled concurrency leading to corrupted counters - unhandled 32-bit wraparound of ifconfig counters The issues on the ocelot switchdev driver were noticed through code inspection, I do not have the hardware to test. This patch set necessarily converts ocelot->stats_lock from a mutex to a spinlock. I know this affects Colin Foster's development with the SPI controlled VSC7512. I have other changes prepared for net-next that convert this back into a mutex (along with other changes in this area). ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220816135352.1431497-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.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 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.
