mlx5-next 2022-22-02
The following PR includes updates to mlx5-next branch:
Headlines:
==========
1) Jakub cleans up unused static inline functions
2) I did some low level firmware command interface return status changes to
provide the caller with full visibility on the error/status returned by
the Firmware.
3) Use the new command interface in RDMA DEVX usecases to avoid flooding
dmesg with some "expected" user error prone use cases.
4) Moshe also uses the new command interface to grab the specific error
code from MFRL register command to provide the exact error reason for
why SW reset couldn't perform internally in FW.
5) From Mark Bloch: Lag, drop packets in hardware when possible
In active-backup mode the inactive interface's packets are dropped by the
bond device. In switchdev where TC rules are offloaded to the FDB
this can lead to packets being hit in the FDB where without offload
they would have been dropped before reaching TC rules in the kernel.
Create a drop rule to make sure packets on inactive ports are dropped
before reaching the FDB.
Listen on NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER / NETDEV_CHANGEINFODATA events and record
the inactive state and offload accordingly.

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.
