====================
mlx5e-updates-2018-12-10 (gre)
This patch set adds GRE offloading support to Mellanox ethernet driver.
Patches 1-5 replace the existing egdev mechanism with the new TC indirect
block binds mechanism that was introduced by Netronome:
7f76fa3675 ("net: sched: register callbacks for indirect tc block binds")
Patches 6-9 add GRE offloading support along with some required
refactoring work.
Patch 10, Add netif_is_gretap()/netif_is_ip6gretap()
- Changed the is_gretap_dev and is_ip6gretap_dev logic from structure
comparison to string comparison of the rtnl_link_ops kind field.
Patch 11, add GRE offloading support to mlx5.
Patch 12 removes the egdev mechanism from TC as it is no longer used by
any of the drivers.

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.
