IPoIB netlink support and mlx5e pre-allocated netdevice initialization
 
 IP link was broken due to the changes in IPoIB for the rdma_netdev
 support after commit cd565b4b51
 ("IB/IPoIB: Support acceleration options callbacks").
 
 This patchset fixes IPoIB pkey creation and removal using rtnetlink by
 adding support in both IPoIB ULP layer and mlx5 layer:
 
 From Jason and Denis:
 1) Introduces changes in the RDMA netdev code in order to
    allow allocation of the netdev to be done by the rtnl netdev code.
 2) Reworks IPoIB initialization to use the two step rdma_netdev
    creation.
 
 From Feras and Saeed, mlx5e netdev layer refactoring to allow accepting
 pre-allocated netdevs:
 3) Adds support to initialize/cleanup netdevs that are not created
    by mlx5 driver.
 4) Change mlx5e netdevice layer to accept the pre-allocated netdevice
    queue number.
 5) Initialize mlx5e generic structures in one place to be used for all
    netdevs types NIC/representors/IPoIB (both mlx5 allocated and
    pre-allocted).

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.
