Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2020-05-27 This series contains updates to the ice driver only. Jesse fixes a number of issues, starting with fixing the remaining signed versus unsigned comparison issues. Cleaned up an unused code define. Fixed the implementation of the manage MAC write command, to simplify it by using a simple array to represent the MAC address when writing it. Paul fixes the setting of the VF default LAN address, by removing a check that assumed that the address had been deleted and zeroed. Surabhi prevents a memory leak on filter management initialization failures and during queue initialization and buffer allocation failures. Brett adds additional receive error counters that are reported by ethtool. Fixed the enabling and disabling of VLAN stripping when the PVID has been set. Evan fixes a race condition between the firmware and software, which can occur between the admin queue setup and the first command sent. Marta fixes the driver when XDP transmit rings are destroyed, also make sure the XDP transmit queues are also destroyed. Update the statistics when XDP transmit programs are loaded and packets are sent. Changed the number of XDP transmit queues to match the number of receive queues, instead of matching the number of transmit queues. Bruce avoids undefined behavior by not writing the 8-bit element init_q_state with the associated internal-to-hardware field which is 122-bits. Anirudh (Ani) refactors the receive checksum checks. Krzysztof notifies the user if the fill queue is not long enough to prepare all buffers before packet processing starts and allocates the buffers during the NAPI poll. ==================== 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.
