This series provides some updates to the mlx5 core and netdevice drivers.
Three patches from Tariq, Introduces page reuse mechanism in non-Striding
RQ RX datapath, we allow the the RX descriptor to reuse its allocated page
as much as it could, until the page is fully consumed. RX page reuse
reduces the stress on page allocator and improves RX performance especially
with high speeds (100Gb/s).
Next four patches of the series from Or allows to offload tc flower matching
on ttl/hoplimit and header re-write of hoplimit.
The rest of the series from Yotam and Or enhances mlx5 to support FW flashing
through the mlxfw module, in a similar manner done by the mlxsw driver.
Currently, only ethtool based flashing is implemented, where both Eth and IB ports
are supported.
Thanks,
Saeed.
