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.

[ Upstream commit 9e311820 ] The SONIC can sometimes advance its rx buffer pointer (RRP register) without advancing its rx descriptor pointer (CRDA register). As a result the index of the current rx descriptor may not equal that of the current rx buffer. The driver mistakenly assumes that they are always equal. This assumption leads to incorrect packet lengths and possible packet duplication. Avoid this by calling a new function to locate the buffer corresponding to a given descriptor.
