Edward Cree says: ==================== sfc: encapsulated filters This series adds support for setting up filters for encapsulated traffic on SFC 8000-series adapters, which recognise VXLAN, GENEVE and NVGRE packets by parsing packet headers. (VXLAN and GENEVE will only be recognised if the driver on the primary PF has notified the firmware of relevant UDP ports, which this driver does not yet do.) While the driver currently has no way of using these filters for flow steering, it is nonetheless necessary to insert catch-all (aka 'default') filters to direct this traffic, similar to the existing unencapsulated uni- and multi-cast catch-all filters, as otherwise the traffic will be dropped by the NIC - implementation details of the hardware filtering mean that the traffic will not get matched on outer MAC address to unencapsulated catch- all filters. (Yes, this is a mess.) Although this is, therefore, fixing a bug in the existing driver, it's a bug which has existed since 8000 series support was added, and the fix involves quite a big patch with an 'adding features' flavour to it, hence why this is for net-next rather than net and stable. v2: move netif_cond_dbg into netdevice.h and its own patch ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
