The first seven patches from Or Gerlitz in this series further enhances
 the mlx5 SRIOV switchdev mode to support offloading IPv6 tunnels using the
 TC tunnel key set (encap) and unset (decap) actions.
 
 Or Gerlitz says:
 ========================
 As part of doing this change, few cleanups are done in the IPv4 code,
 later we move to use the full tunnel key info provided to the driver as
 the key for our internal hashing which is used to identify cases where
 the same tunnel is used for encapsulating multiple flows. As done in the
 IPv4 case, the control path for offloading IPv6 tunnels uses route/neigh
 lookups and construction of the IPv6 tunnel headers on the encap path and
 matching on the outer hears in the decap path.
 
 The last patch of the series enlarges the HW FDB size for the switchdev mode,
 so it has now room to contain offloaded flows as many as min(max number
 of HW flow counters supported, max HW table size supported).
 ========================
 
 Next to Or's series you can find several patches handling several topics.
 
 From Mohamad, add support for SRIOV VF min rate guarantee by using the
 TSAR BW share weights mechanism.
 
 From Or, Two patches to enable Eth VFs to query their min-inline value for
 user-space.
 for that we move a mlx5 low level min inline helper function from mlx5
 ethernet driver into the core driver and then use it in mlx5_ib to expose
 the inline mode to rdma applications through libmlx5.
 
 From Kamal Heib, Reduce memory consumption on kdump kernel.
 
 From Shaker Daibes, code reuse in CQE compression control logic
 
 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.
