Hi Dave,
This series contains two sets of patches to the mlx5 driver,
1. Nine patches (mostly from Hadar) to add 'mlx5 neigh update' feature.
2. Six misc patches.
For more details please see below.
Sorry for the last minute submission, originally I planned to submit before
weekend, but in order to provide clean patches, we had to deal with some
auto build issues first.
Please pull and let me know if there's any problem.

Or says:
================
mlx5 neigh update
This series (whose code name is 'neigh update') from Hadar, enhances the
mlx5 TC IP tunnel offloads to deal with changes to tunnel destination
neighbours used in offloaded flows which involved encapsulation.
In order to keep track on the validity state of such neighbours, we register
a netevent notifier callback and act on NEIGH_UPDATE events: if a neighbour
becomes valid, offload the related flows to HW (the other way around when
neigh becomes invalid) and similarly when a neigh mac addresses changes.
Since this traffic is offloaded from the host OS, the neighbour for the IP
tunnel destination can mistakenly become STALE and deleted by the kernel
since its 'used' value wasn't changed. To address that, we proactively
update the neighbour 'used' value every DELAY_PROBE_TIME seconds, using
time stamps generated by the existing driver code for HW flow counters.
We use the DELAY_PROBE_TIME_UPDATE event to adjust the frequency of the updates.
Prior to the core of the series, there's a patch from Saeed that introduces an
extendable vport representor implementation scheme. It provides a separation
between the eswitch to the netdev related aspects of the representors.
We would like to thank Ido Schimmel and Ilya Lesokhin for their coaching &&
advice
through the long design and review cycles while we struggled to understand and
(hopefully correctly) implement the locking around the different driver
flows(..) .

=================
Misc Updates:
>From Tariq:
Some small performance and trivial code optimization for mlx5 netdev driver
- Optimize poll ICOSQ completion queue
- Use prefetchw when a write is to follow
- Use u8 as ownership type in mlx5e_get_cqe()
>From Eran:
- Disable LRO by default on specific setups
>From Eli:
- Small cleanup for E-Switch to avoid redundant allocation
Thanks,
Saeed.
