Pull rdma updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
"This has been a smaller cycle than normal. One new driver was
accepted, which is unusual, and at least one more driver remains in
review on the list.
Summary:
- Driver fixes for hns, hfi1, nes, rxe, i40iw, mlx5, cxgb4,
vmw_pvrdma
- Many patches from MatthewW converting radix tree and IDR users to
use xarray
- Introduction of tracepoints to the MAD layer
- Build large SGLs at the start for DMA mapping and get the driver to
split them
- Generally clean SGL handling code throughout the subsystem
- Support for restricting RDMA devices to net namespaces for
containers
- Progress to remove object allocation boilerplate code from drivers
- Change in how the mlx5 driver shows representor ports linked to VFs
- mlx5 uapi feature to access the on chip SW ICM memory
- Add a new driver for 'EFA'. This is HW that supports user space
packet processing through QPs in Amazon's cloud"

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.
