Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Add support for new multipath hash policies This patchset adds support for two new multipath hash policies in mlxsw. Patch #1 emits net events whenever the net.ipv{4,6}.fib_multipath_hash_fields sysctls are changed. This allows listeners to react to changes in the packet fields used for the computation of the multipath hash. Patches #2-#3 refactor the code in mlxsw that is responsible for the configuration of the multipath hash, so that it will be easier to extend for the two new policies. Patch #4 adds the register fields required to support the new policies. Patch #5-#7 add support for inner layer 3 and custom multipath hash policies. Tested using following forwarding selftests: * custom_multipath_hash.sh * gre_custom_multipath_hash.sh * gre_inner_v4_multipath.sh * gre_inner_v6_multipath.sh ====================
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.
