Pull RDMA subsystem updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
"Overall this cycle did not have any major excitement, and did not
require any shared branch with netdev.
Lots of driver updates, particularly of the scale-up and performance
variety. The largest body of core work was Parav's patches fixing and
restructing some of the core code to make way for future RDMA
containerization.
Summary:
- misc small driver fixups to
bnxt_re/hfi1/qib/hns/ocrdma/rdmavt/vmw_pvrdma/nes
- several major feature adds to bnxt_re driver: SRIOV VF RoCE
support, HugePages support, extended hardware stats support, and
SRQ support
- a notable number of fixes to the i40iw driver from debugging scale
up testing
- more work to enable the new hip08 chip in the hns driver
- misc small ULP fixups to srp/srpt//ipoib
- preparation for srp initiator and target to support the RDMA-CM
protocol for connections
- add RDMA-CM support to srp initiator, srp target is still a WIP
- fixes for a couple of places where ipoib could spam the dmesg log
- fix encode/decode of FDR/EDR data rates in the core
- many patches from Parav with ongoing work to clean up
inconsistencies and bugs in RoCE support around the rdma_cm
- mlx5 driver support for the userspace features 'thread domain',
'wallclock timestamps' and 'DV Direct Connected transport'. Support
for the firmware dual port rocee capability
- core support for more than 32 rdma devices in the char dev
allocation
- kernel doc updates from Randy Dunlap
- new netlink uAPI for inspecting RDMA objects similar in spirit to 'ss'
- one minor change to the kobject code acked by Greg KH"

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.
