Merge branch '10GbE' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/next-queue
Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-06-13 This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf only. Jake completes his fix ups for our drivers with the ixgbe changes to resolve a race condition in processing timestamp requests. These fixes are the same fixes Jake applied earlier to the other drivers, including the added statistic to help administrators know when an application timestamp request is ignored. With all the recent ixgbe/ixgbevf changes and fixes, Tony bumps the the driver versions. Then Tony provides a fix to resolve a static analysis warning by changing a variable to unsigned integer since the value can never be negative. Emil fixes an issue for X550 devices where the qde parameter was being ignored, so PFQDE.HIDE_VLAN was not being set. Jeff Mahoney from SuSE fixes a possible kernel crash, where there was a small window where tasks writing to the sriov_numvfs sysfs attribute can sneak in after we call register_netdev(). So we need to call pci_set_drvdata() before and not after register_netdev() to preserve the intent of commit 0fb6a55c ("ixgbe: fix crash on rmmod after probe fail"). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
