    Bug Fix(es):

    * Backport TCP follow-up for small buffers (BZ#1739184)

    * TCP performance regression after CVE-2019-11478 bug fix (BZ#1743170)

    * RHEL8.0 - bnx2x link down, caused by transmit timeouts during load test (Marvell/Cavium/QLogic) (L3:)     (BZ#1743548)

    * block: blk-mq improvement (BZ#1780567)

    * RHEL8.0 - Regression to RHEL7.6 by changing force_latency found during RHEL8.0 validation for SAP HANA     on POWER (BZ#1781111)

    * blk-mq: overwirte performance drops on real MQ device (BZ#1782183)

    * RHEL8: creating vport takes lot of memory i.e 2GB per vport which leads to drain out system memory     quickly. (BZ#1782705)
