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

Pull rdma fixes from Doug Ledford:
 "Nothing in this is overly interesting, it's mostly your garden variety
  fixes.

  There was some work in this merge cycle around the new ioctl kABI, so
  there are fixes in here related to that (probably with more to come).

  We've also recently added new netlink support with a goal of moving
  the primary means of configuring the entire subsystem to netlink
  (eventually, this is a long term project), so there are fixes for
  that.

  Then a few bnxt_re driver fixes, and a few minor WARN_ON removals, and
  that covers this pull request. There are already a few more fixes on
  the list as of this morning, so there will certainly be more to come
  in this rc cycle ;-)

  Summary:

   - Lots of fixes for the new IOCTL interface and general uverbs flow.
     Found through testing and syzkaller

   - Bugfixes for the new resource track netlink reporting

   - Remove some unneeded WARN_ONs that were triggering for some users
     in IPoIB

   - Various fixes for the bnxt_re driver"

README

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.
