Sunil Goutham says: ==================== octeontx2-af: NPC parser and NIX blocks initialization This patchset is a continuation to earlier submitted two patch series to add a new driver for Marvell's OcteonTX2 SOC's Resource virtualization unit (RVU) admin function driver. 1. octeontx2-af: Add RVU Admin Function driver https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg528272.html 2. octeontx2-af: NPA and NIX blocks initialization https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg529163.html This patch series adds more NIX block configuration logic and additionally adds NPC block parser profile configuration. In brief below is what this series adds. NIX block: - Support for PF/VF to allocate/free transmit scheduler queues, maintenance and their configuration. - Adds support for packet replication lists, only broadcast packets is covered for now. - Defines few RSS flow algorithms for HW to distribute packets. This is not the hash algorithsm (i.e toeplitz or crc32), here SW defines what fields in packet should HW take and calculate the hash. - Support for PF/VF to configure VTAG strip and capture capabilities. - Reset NIXLF statastics. NPC block: This block has multiple parser engines which support packet parsing at multiple layers and generates a parse result which is further used to generate a key. Based on packet field offsets in the key, SW can install packet forwarding rules. This patch series adds - Initial parser profile to be programmed into parser engines. - Default forwarding rules to forward packets to different logical interfaces having a NIXLF attached. - Support for promiscuous and multicast modes. Changes from v1: 1 Fixed kernel build failure when compiled with BIG_ENDIAN enabled. - Reported by Kbuild test robot 2 Fixed a warning observed when kernel is built with -Wunused-but-set-variable ==================== 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.
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.
