This series from Tariq includes micro data path optimization for mlx5e
 netdevice driver.
 
 Mainly Tariq introduces the following changes to NAPI and RX handling
 path of the driver:
  - RX ring structure reorganizing
  - Trivial code refactoring and optimization
  - NAPI busy-poll for when fast UMR is in progress
  - Non-atomic state operations in NAPI context
  - Remove unnecessary fields from fast path structures
  - page-cache micro optimization
  - Rely on NAPI to avoid missing an IRQ for RX/TX shared NAPI contexts
  - Stop NAPI when irq changes affinity
  - Distribute RSS table among all RX rings
 
 Thanks,
 Saeed.

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.
