Michal Kubecek says: ==================== ethtool netlink interface, preliminary part As Jakub Kicinski suggested in ethtool netlink v7 discussion, this submission consists only of preliminary patches which raised no objections; first four patches already have Acked-by or Reviewed-by. - patch 1 exposes permanent hardware address (as shown by "ethtool -P") via rtnetlink - patch 2 is renames existing netlink helper to a better name - patch 3 and 4 reorganize existing ethtool code (no functional change) - patch 5 makes the table of link mode names available as an ethtool string set (will be needed for the netlink interface) Once we get these out of the way, v8 of the first part of the ethtool netlink interface will follow. Changes from v2 to v3: fix SPDX licence identifiers (patch 3 and 5). Changes from v1 to v2: restore build time check that all link modes have assigned a name (patch 5). ==================== Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
