Linus Torvalds 2a3c389a0f 5.3 Merge window RDMA pull request
A smaller cycle this time. Notably we see another new driver, 'Soft
 iWarp', and the deletion of an ancient unused driver for nes.
 
 - Revise and simplify the signature offload RDMA MR APIs
 
 - More progress on hoisting object allocation boiler plate code out of the
   drivers
 
 - Driver bug fixes and revisions for hns, hfi1, efa, cxgb4, qib, i40iw
 
 - Tree wide cleanups: struct_size, put_user_page, xarray, rst doc conversion
 
 - Removal of obsolete ib_ucm chardev and nes driver
 
 - netlink based discovery of chardevs and autoloading of the modules
   providing them
 
 - Move more of the rdamvt/hfi1 uapi to include/uapi/rdma
 
 - New driver 'siw' for software based iWarp running on top of netdev,
   much like rxe's software RoCE.
 
 - mlx5 feature to report events in their raw devx format to userspace
 
 - Expose per-object counters through rdma tool
 
 - Adaptive interrupt moderation for RDMA (DIM), sharing the DIM core
   from netdev

README

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.
