Michal Kalderon says: ==================== qed*: Improve performance on 100G link for offload protocols This patch series modifies the current implementation of PF selection. The refactoring of the llh code enables setting additional filters (mac / protocol) per PF, and improves performance for offload protocols (RoCE, iWARP, iSCSI, fcoe) on 100G link (was capped at 90G per single PF). Improved performance on 100G link is achieved by configuring engine affinty to each PF. The engine affinity is read from the Management FW and hw is configured accordingly. A new hw resource called PPFID is exposed and an API is introduced to utilize it. This additional resource enables setting the affinity of a PF and providing more classification rules per PF. qedr,qedi,qedf are also modified as part of the series. Without the changes functionality is broken. v1 --> v2 --------- - Remove iWARP module parameter. Instead use devlink param infrastructure for setting the iwarp_cmt mode. Additional patch added to the series for adding the devlink support. - Fix kbuild test robot warning on qed_llh_filter initialization. - Remove comments inside function calls ==================== 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.
