net: Disable NETIF_F_HW_TLS_RX when RXCSUM is disabled

2021-01-19T23:58:05+00:00

With NETIF_F_HW_TLS_RX packets are decrypted in HW. This cannot be
logically done when RXCSUM offload is off.

net: Allow NETIF_F_HW_TLS_TX if IP_CSUM && IPV6_CSUM

2021-01-14T18:56:13+00:00

Cited patch below blocked the TLS TX device offload unless HW_CSUM
is set. This broke devices that use IP_CSUM && IP6_CSUM.
Here we fix it.

Note that the single HW_TLS_TX feature flag indicates support for
both IPv4/6, hence it should still be disabled in case only one of
(IP_CSUM | IPV6_CSUM) is set.

docs: octeontx2: tune rst markup

2021-01-07T20:47:31+00:00

Commit 80b9414832a1 ("docs: octeontx2: Add Documentation for NPA health
reporters") added new documentation with improper formatting for rst, and
caused a few new warnings for make htmldocs in octeontx2.rst:169--202.

Tune markup and formatting for better presentation in the HTML view.

docs: networking: packet_mmap: fix old config reference

2021-01-04T21:21:46+00:00

Before commit 889b8f964f2f ("packet: Kill CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP.") there
used to be a CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP config symbol that depended on
CONFIG_PACKET. The text still implies that PACKET_MMAP can be disabled.
Remove that from the text, as well as reference to old kernel versions.

Also, drop reference to broken link to information for pre 2.6.5
kernels.

Make a slight working improvement (s/In/On/) while at it.

docs: netdev-FAQ: fix question headers formatting

2020-12-23T03:28:24+00:00

Join adjacent questions to a single question line. This fixes the
formatting of questions that were not part of the heading.

Also, drop Q: and A: prefixes. We don't need them now that questions and
answers are visually separated.
