Linus Torvalds 242b233198 RDMA 5.8 merge window pull request
A few large, long discussed works this time. The RNBD block driver has
 been posted for nearly two years now, and the removal of FMR has been a
 recurring discussion theme for a long time. The usual smattering of
 features and bug fixes.
 
 - Various small driver bugs fixes in rxe, mlx5, hfi1, and efa
 
 - Continuing driver cleanups in bnxt_re, hns
 
 - Big cleanup of mlx5 QP creation flows
 
 - More consistent use of src port and flow label when LAG is used and a
   mlx5 implementation
 
 - Additional set of cleanups for IB CM
 
 - 'RNBD' network block driver and target. This is a network block RDMA
   device specific to ionos's cloud environment. It brings strong multipath
   and resiliency capabilities.
 
 - Accelerated IPoIB for HFI1
 
 - QP/WQ/SRQ ioctl migration for uverbs, and support for multiple async fds
 
 - Support for exchanging the new IBTA defiend ECE data during RDMA CM
   exchanges
 
 - Removal of the very old and insecure FMR interface from all ULPs and
   drivers. FRWR should be preferred for at least a decade now.

Pull rdma updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "A more active cycle than most of the recent past, with a few large,
  long discussed works this time.

  The RNBD block driver has been posted for nearly two years now, and
  flowing through RDMA due to it also introducing a new ULP.

  The removal of FMR has been a recurring discussion theme for a long
  time.

  And the usual smattering of features and bug fixes.

  Summary:

   - Various small driver bugs fixes in rxe, mlx5, hfi1, and efa

   - Continuing driver cleanups in bnxt_re, hns

   - Big cleanup of mlx5 QP creation flows

   - More consistent use of src port and flow label when LAG is used and
     a mlx5 implementation

   - Additional set of cleanups for IB CM

   - 'RNBD' network block driver and target. This is a network block
     RDMA device specific to ionos's cloud environment. It brings strong

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.
