1) From Shay Drory: Devlink user knobs to control device's EQ size
 
 This series provides knobs which will enable users to
 minimize memory consumption of mlx5 Functions (PF/VF/SF).
 mlx5 exposes two new generic devlink params for EQ size
 configuration and uses devlink generic param max_macs.

 2) From Tariq and Lama, allocate software channel objects and statistics
   of a mlx5 netdevice private data dynamically upon first demand to save on
   memory.

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.
