devlink: convert driver-specific files to reStructuredText

2020-01-11T01:06:59+00:00

Several drivers document what parameters they support in a devlink-params-*.txt file. This file is supposed to contain both the list of generic parameters implemented by the driver, as well as a list of driver-specific parameters and their descriptions. It would also be good if the driver documentation included other driver-specific implementations, such as info versions, devlink regions, and so forth. Convert all of these documentation files to reStructuredText, and rename them to just the driver name. Future changes will include other driver-specific implementations. Each file will contain a table for the generic parameters implemented, as well as a separate table for the driver-specific parameters. Future sections such as for devlink info versions will be added to these files. This avoids creating additional devlink-- files for each devlink feature, reducing clutter in the documentation folder.

Documentation: networking: Add stmmac to device drivers list

2020-01-07T21:38:56+00:00

Add the stmmac RST file to the index. Signed-off-by: Jose Abreu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Documentation: networking: Convert stmmac documentation to RST format

2020-01-07T21:38:56+00:00

Convert the documentation of the driver to RST format and delete the old txt and old information that no longer applies. Also, add some new information. Signed-off-by: Jose Abreu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

nfp: add support for TLV device stats

2019-12-11T01:34:43+00:00

Device stats are currently hard coded in the PCI BAR0 layout. Add a ability to read them from the TLV area instead. Names for the stats are maintained by the driver, and their meaning documented. This allows us to more easily add and remove device stats. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Merge tag 'docs-5.5a' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

2019-12-02T19:51:02+00:00

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Here are the main documentation changes for 5.5: - Various kerneldoc script enhancements. - More RST conversions; those are slowing down as we run out of things to convert, but we're a ways from done still. - Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last. Now we just need to get maintainers to fill in the profiles... - A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a variety of systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in particular). - The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build. Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need to load a lot of paper. - A script and documentation making it easy for maintainers to add Link: tags at commit time. Also included is the removal of a bunch of spurious CR characters" * tag 'docs-5.5a' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (91 commits) docs: remove a bunch of stray CRs docs: fix up the maintainer profile document libnvdimm, MAINTAINERS: Maintainer Entry Profile Maintainer Handbook: Maintainer Entry Profile MAINTAINERS: Reclaim the P: tag for Maintainer Entry Profile docs, parallelism: Rearrange how jobserver reservations are made docs, parallelism: Do not leak blocking mode to other readers docs, parallelism: Fix failure path and add comment Documentation: Remove bootmem_debug from kernel-parameters.txt Documentation: security: core.rst: fix warnings Documentation/process/howto/kokr: Update for 4.x -> 5.x versioning Documentation/translation: Use Korean for Korean translation title docs/memory-barriers.txt: Remove remaining references to mmiowb() docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Update I/O section to be clearer about CPU vs thread docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Fix style, spacing and grammar in I/O section Documentation/kokr: Kill all references to mmiowb() docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Rewrite "KERNEL I/O BARRIER EFFECTS" section docs: Add initial documentation for devfreq Documentation: Document how to get links with git am docs: Add request_irq() documentation ...

docs: remove a bunch of stray CRs

2019-12-01T15:45:54+00:00

A pair of documentation patches introduced a bunch of unwanted carriage-return characters into the docs. Remove them, and chase away the ghost of DOS for another day.

2019-11-13T22:24:58+00:00

1) New generic devlink param "enable_roce", for downstream devlink reload support 2) Do vport ACL configuration on per vport basis when enabling/disabling a vport. This enables to have vports enabled/disabled outside of eswitch config for future 3) Split the code for legacy vs offloads mode and make it clear 4) Tide up vport locking and workqueue usage 5) Fix metadata enablement for ECPF 6) Make explicit use of VF property to publish IB_DEVICE_VIRTUAL_FUNCTION 7) E-Switch and flow steering core low level support and refactoring for netfilter flowtables offload Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed
