====================
mlx5-updates-2021-04-19
This patchset provides some updates to mlx5e and mlx5 SW steering drivers:
1) Tariq and Vladyslav they both provide some trivial update to mlx5e netdev.
The next 12 patches in the patchset are focused toward mlx5 SW steering:
2) 3 trivial cleanup patches
3) Dynamic Flex parser support:
Flex parser is a HW parser that can support protocols that are not
natively supported by the HCA, such as Geneve (TLV options) and GTP-U.
There are 8 such parsers, and each of them can be assigned to parse a
specific set of protocols.
4) Enable matching on Geneve TLV options
5) Use Flex parser for MPLS over UDP/GRE
6) Enable matching on tunnel GTP-U and GTP-U first extension
header using
7) Improved QoS for SW steering internal QPair for a better insertion rate

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.
