Commit Message

Hsu, Chiahao Feb. 25, 2021, 12:29 p.m. UTC
In order to support live migration of guests between kernels
that do and do not support 'feature-ctrl-ring', we add a
module parameter that allows the feature to be disabled
at run time, instead of using hardcode value.
The default value is enable.

You should directly CC maintainers, and also I don't see netdev in the 
To list... Did you send it there? I suspect not, since I don't see 
'net-next' in the prefix.

I think it would be better to resend this series.

See Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.rst.
