Toke Høiland-Jørgensen says: ==================== netdevsim: support setting a permanent address Network management daemons that match on the device permanent address currently have no virtual interface types to test against. NetworkManager, in particular, has carried an out of tree patch to set the permanent address on netdevsim devices to use in its CI for this purpose. This series adds support to netdevsim to set a permanent address on port creation, and adds a test script to test setting and getting of the different L2 address types. v3: https://lore.kernel.org/20250706-netdevsim-perm_addr-v3-0-88123e2b2027@redhat.com v2: https://lore.kernel.org/20250702-netdevsim-perm_addr-v2-0-66359a6288f0@redhat.com v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20250203-netdevsim-perm_addr-v1-1-10084bc93044@redhat.com ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250710-netdevsim-perm_addr-v4-0-c9db2fecf3bf@redhat.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 reStructuredText 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.
