Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-03-05 This series contains fixes to e1000e only. Benjamin Poirier provides all but one fix in this series, starting with workaround for a VMWare e1000e emulation issue where ICR reads 0x0 on the emulated device. Partially reverted a previous commit dealing with the "Other" interrupt throttling to avoid unforeseen fallout from these changes that are not strictly necessary. Restored the ICS write for receive and transmit queue interrupts in the case that txq or rxq bits were set in ICR and the Other interrupt handler read and cleared ICR before the queue interrupt was raised. Fixed an bug where interrupts may be missed if ICR is read while INT_ASSERTED is not set, so avoid the problem by setting all bits related to events that can trigger the Other interrupt in IMS. Fixed the return value for check_for_link() when auto-negotiation is off. Pierre-Yves Kerbrat fixes e1000e to use dma_zalloc_coherent() to make sure the ring is memset to 0 to prevent the area from containing garbage. v2: added an additional e1000e fix to the series ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
