A few large, long discussed works this time. The RNBD block driver has
been posted for nearly two years now, and the removal of FMR has been a
recurring discussion theme for a long time. The usual smattering of
features and bug fixes.
- Various small driver bugs fixes in rxe, mlx5, hfi1, and efa
- Continuing driver cleanups in bnxt_re, hns
- Big cleanup of mlx5 QP creation flows
- More consistent use of src port and flow label when LAG is used and a
mlx5 implementation
- Additional set of cleanups for IB CM
- 'RNBD' network block driver and target. This is a network block RDMA
device specific to ionos's cloud environment. It brings strong multipath
and resiliency capabilities.
- Accelerated IPoIB for HFI1
- QP/WQ/SRQ ioctl migration for uverbs, and support for multiple async fds
- Support for exchanging the new IBTA defiend ECE data during RDMA CM
exchanges
- Removal of the very old and insecure FMR interface from all ULPs and
drivers. FRWR should be preferred for at least a decade now.

"A more active cycle than most of the recent past, with a few large,
long discussed works this time.
The RNBD block driver has been posted for nearly two years now, and
flowing through RDMA due to it also introducing a new ULP.
The removal of FMR has been a recurring discussion theme for a long
time.
And the usual smattering of features and bug fixes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
