Alexander Duyck says: ==================== Add support for passing more information in mqprio offload This patch series lays the groundwork for future work to allow us to make full use of the mqprio options when offloading them to hardware. Currently when we specify the hardware offload for mqprio the queue configuration is completely ignored and the hardware is only notified of the total number of traffic classes. The problem is this leads to multiple issues, one specific issue being you can pass the queue configuration you want and it is totally ignored by the hardware. What I am planning to do is add support for "hw" values in the configuration greater than 1. So for example we might have one mode of mqprio offload that uses 1 and only offloads the TC counts like we currently do. Then we might look at adding an option 2 which would factor in the TCs and the queue count information. This way we can select between the type of offload we actually want and existing drivers that don't support this can just fall back to their legacy configuration. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

README
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.
