====================
mlx5-updates-2018-10-03
mlx5 core driver and ethernet netdev updates, please note there is a small
devlink releated update to allow extack argument to eswitch operations.
From Eli Britstein,
1) devlink: Add extack argument to the eswitch related operations
2) net/mlx5e: E-Switch, return extack messages for failures in the e-switch devlink callbacks
3) net/mlx5e: Add extack messages for TC offload failures
From Eran Ben Elisha,
4) mlx5e: Add counter for aRFS rule insertion failures
From Feras Daoud
5) Fast teardown support for mlx5 device
This change introduces the enhanced version of the "Force teardown" that
allows SW to perform teardown in a faster way without the need to reclaim
all the FW pages.
Fast teardown provides the following advantages:
1- Fix a FW race condition that could cause command timeout
2- Avoid moving to polling mode
3- Close the vport to prevent PCI ACK to be sent without been scatter
to memory

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.
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.
