Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-08-24 This series contains fixes to e1000, igb, ixgb, ixgbe and i40e. YueHaibing from Huawei provides a change to use dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of calls to allocator followed by a memset for ixgb. Bo Chen provides a couple of fixes for e1000, first by adding a check to prevent a NULL pointer dereference. The second change is to clean up a possible resource leak on old transmit and receive rings when the device is not up. Jesus fixes an issue in the usage of an advanced transmit context descriptor for retrieving the timestamp of a packet for AF_PACKET if the IGB_TX_FLAGS_VLAN is not set in igb. Jia-Ju Bai provides several patches which replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL, when using kzalloc() and kcalloc() which is not necessary. Also found an instance of mdelay() call which could be replaced with msleep(). Tony fixes ixgbe to allow MTU changes with XDP, by adding checks to ensure only supported values and return -EINVAL for when it is not supported. Sebastian fixed an issue that was not clearing VF mailbox memory and ensure queues are re-enabled correctly. Martyna fixes a transmit timeout when DCB is configured when bringing up an interface. Jake fixes a previous commit which accidentally reversed the check of the data pointer, so we can accurately count the size of the stats. ==================== 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.
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.
