Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Disable checks in hardware pipeline Amit says: The hardware pipeline contains some checks that, by default, are configured to drop packets. Since the software data path does not drop packets due to these reasons and since we are interested in offloading the software data path to hardware, then these checks should be disabled in the hardware pipeline as well. This patch set changes mlxsw to disable four of these checks and adds corresponding selftests. The tests pass both when the software data path is exercised (using veth pair) and when the hardware data path is exercised (using mlxsw ports in loopback). ==================== 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.
