Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma

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.
