Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-05-30 This series contains updates to ice driver only. Brett continues his work with interrupt handling by fixing an issue where were writing to the incorrect register to disable all VF interrupts. Tony consolidates the unicast and multicast MAC filters into a single new function. Anirudh adds support for virtual channel vector mapping to receive and transmit queues. This uses a bitmap to associate indicated queues with the specified vector. Makes several cosmetic code cleanups, as well as update the driver to align with the current specification for managing MAC operation codes (opcodes). Paul adds support for Forward Error Correction (FEC) and also adds the ethtool get and set handlers to modify FEC parameters. Bruce cleans up the driver code to fix a number of issues, such as, reducing the scope of some local variables, reduce the number of de-references by changing a local variable and reorder the code to remove unnecessary "goto's". Dave adds switch rules to be able to handle LLDP packets and in the process, fix a couple of issues found, like stop treating DCBx state of "not started" as an error and stop hard coding the filter information flag to transmit. Jacob updates the driver to allow for more granular debugging by developers by using a distinct separate bit for dumping firmware logs. ==================== 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.
