Linux kernel source tree

Many arrays in priv are statically allocated with a pre-defined maximum (for num channels, num TCs, etc...), that is in some cases significantly larger than the actual maximum. Examples: - The more VFs are supported, the less MSIX vectors each of them could have. This limits the max_nch for each. - Systems with limited number of cores or MSIX (< 64). - Netdev profiles that do not support: QoS (DCB / HTB), PTP TX port timestamping. Here we save some amount of memory by moving several structures and arrays to follow the actual maximum instead. This patch also prepares the code for even more savings to follow. For example, on a system where the maximum num of channel is 8, the channels stats structs alone go down from 3648*64 = 228 KB to 3648*8 = 28.5 KB per interface. This is important for environments with high number of VFs/SFs or limited 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.
