Jeff Kirsher says:
====================
10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-01-26
This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf.
Emil updates ixgbevf to match ixgbe functionality, starting with the
consolidating of functions that represent logical steps in the receive
process so we can later update them more easily. Updated ixgbevf to
only synchronize the length of the frame, which will typically be the
MTU or smaller. Updated the VF driver to use the length of the packet
instead of the DD status bit to determine if a new descriptor is ready
to be processed, which saves on reads and we can save time on
initialization. Added support for DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC/WEAK_ORDERING
to help improve performance on some platforms. Updated the VF driver to
do bulk updates of the page reference count instead of just incrementing
it by one reference at a time. Updated the VF driver to only go through
the region of the receive ring that was designated to be cleaned up,
rather than process the entire ring.
Colin Ian King adds the use of ARRAY_SIZE() on various arrays.
Miroslav Lichvar fixes an issue where ethtool was reporting timestamping
filters unsupported for X550, which is incorrect.
Paul adds support for reporting 5G link speed for some devices.
Dan Carpenter fixes a typo where && was used when it should have been
||.
