Linus Torvalds 19fd08b85b Merge candidates for 4.17 merge window
- Fix RDMA uapi headers to actually compile in userspace and be more
   complete
 
 - Three shared with netdev pull requests from Mellanox:
 
    * 7 patches, mostly to net with 1 IB related one at the back). This
      series addresses an IRQ performance issue (patch 1), cleanups related to
      the fix for the IRQ performance problem (patches 2-6), and then extends
      the fragmented completion queue support that already exists in the net
      side of the driver to the ib side of the driver (patch 7).
 
    * Mostly IB, with 5 patches to net that are needed to support the remaining
      10 patches to the IB subsystem. This series extends the current
      'representor' framework when the mlx5 driver is in switchdev mode from
      being a netdev only construct to being a netdev/IB dev construct. The IB
      dev is limited to raw Eth queue pairs only, but by having an IB dev of
      this type attached to the representor for a switchdev port, it enables
      DPDK to work on the switchdev device.
 
    * All net related, but needed as infrastructure for the rdma driver
 
 - Updates for the hns, i40iw, bnxt_re, cxgb3, cxgb4, hns drivers
 
 - SRP performance updates
 
 - IB uverbs write path cleanup patch series from Leon
 
 - Add RDMA_CM support to ib_srpt. This is disabled by default.  Users need to
   set the port for ib_srpt to listen on in configfs in order for it to be
   enabled (/sys/kernel/config/target/srpt/discovery_auth/rdma_cm_port)
 
 - TSO and Scatter FCS support in mlx4
 
 - Refactor of modify_qp routine to resolve problems seen while working on new
   code that is forthcoming
 
 - More refactoring and updates of RDMA CM for containers support from Parav
 
 - mlx5 'fine grained packet pacing', 'ipsec offload' and 'device memory'
   user API features
 
 - Infrastructure updates for the new IOCTL interface, based on increased usage
 
 - ABI compatibility bug fixes to fully support 32 bit userspace on 64 bit
   kernel as was originally intended. See the commit messages for
   extensive details
 
 - Syzkaller bugs and code cleanups motivated by them

Pull rdma updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "Doug and I are at a conference next week so if another PR is sent I
  expect it to only be bug fixes. Parav noted yesterday that there are
  some fringe case behavior changes in his work that he would like to
  fix, and I see that Intel has a number of rc looking patches for HFI1
  they posted yesterday.

  Parav is again the biggest contributor by patch count with his ongoing
  work to enable container support in the RDMA stack, followed by Leon
  doing syzkaller inspired cleanups, though most of the actual fixing
  went to RC.

  There is one uncomfortable series here fixing the user ABI to actually
  work as intended in 32 bit mode. There are lots of notes in the commit
  messages, but the basic summary is we don't think there is an actual
  32 bit kernel user of drivers/infiniband for several good reasons.

  However we are seeing people want to use a 32 bit user space with 64
  bit kernel, which didn't completely work today. So in fixing it we
  required a 32 bit rxe user to upgrade their userspace. rxe users are
  still already quite rare and we think a 32 bit one is non-existing.

   - Fix RDMA uapi headers to actually compile in userspace and be more
     complete

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.
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.
