From Eli Britstein,
 Patches 1-10 adds remote mirroring support.
 Patches 1-4 refactor encap related code as pre-steps for using per
 destination encapsulation properties.
 Patches 5-7 use extended destination feature for single/multi
 destination scenarios that have a single encap destination.
 Patches 8-10 enable multiple encap destinations for a TC flow.
 
 From, Daniel Jurgens,
 Patch 11, Use CQE padding for Ethernet CQs, PPC showed up to a 24%
 improvement in small packet throughput
 
 From Eyal Davidovich,
 patches 12-14, FW monitor counter support
 FW monitor counters feature came to solve the delayed reporting of
 FW stats in the atomic get_stats64 ndo, since we can't access the
 FW at that stage, this feature will enable immediate FW stats updates
 in the driver via fw events on specific stats updates.
 
 Patch 12, cleanup to avoid querying a FW counter when it is not
 supported
 Patch 13, Monitor counters FW commands support
 Patch 14, Use monitor counters in ethernet netdevice to update FW
 stats reported in the atomic get_stats64 ndo.

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.
