This patch prepares init and teardown flows so we can call them through ipoib_options function pointers. It arranges that area of code as the following: * All operations which deal with the resource allocation/deletion are performed in one place. * All operations that are control oriented, meaning that they are not connected to a specific hardware, are performed in a separate place. The operations for allocation of hardware resources are now in the function ipoib_dev_init_default, and the deletion of all the resources are in ipoib_dev_uninit_default The only exception is the creation of the PD object, which is used both for resource allocation (create QP etc.) and for control flows like creating AH. It also does: * Move creation of rx_ring and tx_ring to be in the resources allocation area. * Move the function ipoib_ib_dev_open that does the open device to the control area instead of the dev_init which creates resources.

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.
