====================
Mellanox, mlx5 E-Switch chains and prios
This series has two parts,
1) A merge commit with mlx5-next branch that include updates for mlx5
HW layouts needed for this and upcoming submissions.
2) From Paul, Increase the number of chains and prios
Currently the Mellanox driver supports offloading tc rules that
are defined on the first 4 chains and the first 16 priorities.
The restriction stems from the firmware flow level enforcement
requiring a flow table of a certain level to point to a flow
table of a higher level. This limitation may be ignored by setting
the ignore_flow_level bit when creating flow table entries.
Use unmanaged tables and ignore flow level to create more tables than
declared by fs_core steering. Manually manage the connections between the
tables themselves.
HW table is instantiated for every tc <chain,prio> tuple. The miss rule
of every table either jumps to the next <chain,prio> table, or continues
to slow_fdb. This logic is realized by following this sequence:
1. Create an auto-grouped flow table for the specified priority with
reserved entries
Reserved entries are allocated at the end of the flow table.
Flow groups are evaluated in sequence and therefore it is guaranteed
that the flow group defined on the last FTEs will be the last to evaluate.
Define a "match all" flow group on the reserved entries, providing
the platform to add table miss actions.
2. Set the miss rule action to jump to the next <chain,prio> table
or the slow_fdb.
3. Link the previous priority table to point to the new table by
updating its miss rule.
Please pull and let me know if there's any problem.

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.
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.
