Benjamin Poirier 745d0bd3af e1000e: Remove Other from EIAC
It was reported that emulated e1000e devices in vmware esxi 6.5 Build
7526125 do not link up after commit 4aea7a5c5e ("e1000e: Avoid receiver
overrun interrupt bursts", v4.15-rc1). Some tracing shows that after
e1000e_trigger_lsc() is called, ICR reads out as 0x0 in e1000_msix_other()
on emulated e1000e devices. In comparison, on real e1000e 82574 hardware,
icr=0x80000004 (_INT_ASSERTED | _LSC) in the same situation.

Some experimentation showed that this flaw in vmware e1000e emulation can
be worked around by not setting Other in EIAC. This is how it was before
16ecba59bc ("e1000e: Do not read ICR in Other interrupt", v4.5-rc1).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
