Linux kernel source tree
8ab38ed779
Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== DSA cross-chip notifier cleanups This patch set makes the following improvements: - Cross-chip notifiers pass a switch index, port index, sometimes tree index, all as integers. Sometimes we need to recover the struct dsa_port based on those integers. That recovery involves traversing a list. By passing directly a pointer to the struct dsa_port we can avoid that, and the indices passed previously can still be obtained from the passed struct dsa_port. - Resetting VLAN filtering on a switch has explicit code to make it run on a single switch, so it has no place to stay in the cross-chip notifier code. Move it out. - Changing the MTU on a user port affects only that single port, yet the code passes through the cross-chip notifier layer where all switches are notified. Avoid that. - Other related cosmetic changes in the MTU changing procedure. Apart from the slight improvement in performance given by (a) doing less work in cross-chip notifiers (b) emitting less cross-chip notifiers we also end up with about 100 less lines of code. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
