William Tu says: ==================== net: erspan: add support for openvswitch The first patch refactors the erspan header definitions. Originally, the erspan fields are defined as a group into a __be16 field, and use mask and offset to access each field. This is more costly due to calling ntohs/htons and error-prone. The first patch changes it to use bitfields. The second patch creates erspan.h in UAPI and move the definition 'struct erspan_metadata' to it for later openvswitch to use. The final patch introduces the new OVS tunnel key attribute, OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_ERSPAN_OPTS, to program both v1 and v2 erspan tunnel for openvswitch. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
