Pull rdma updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
"This has been a smaller cycle with many of the commits being smallish
code fixes and improvements across the drivers.
- Driver updates for bnxt_re, cxgb4, hfi1, hns, mlx5, nes, qedr, and
rxe
- Memory window support in hns
- mlx5 user API 'flow mutate/steering' allows accessing the full
packet mangling and matching machinery from user space
- Support inter-working with verbs API calls in the 'devx' mlx5 user
API, and provide options to use devx with less privilege
- Modernize the use of syfs and the device interface to use attribute
groups and cdev properly for uverbs, and clean up some of the core
code's device list management
- More progress on net namespaces for RDMA devices
- Consolidate driver BAR mmapping support into core code helpers and
rework how RDMA holds poitners to mm_struct for get_user_pages
cases
- First pass to use 'dev_name' instead of ib_device->name
- Device renaming for RDMA devices"

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.
