A smaller cycle this time. Notably we see another new driver, 'Soft
iWarp', and the deletion of an ancient unused driver for nes.
- Revise and simplify the signature offload RDMA MR APIs
- More progress on hoisting object allocation boiler plate code out of the
drivers
- Driver bug fixes and revisions for hns, hfi1, efa, cxgb4, qib, i40iw
- Tree wide cleanups: struct_size, put_user_page, xarray, rst doc conversion
- Removal of obsolete ib_ucm chardev and nes driver
- netlink based discovery of chardevs and autoloading of the modules
providing them
- Move more of the rdamvt/hfi1 uapi to include/uapi/rdma
- New driver 'siw' for software based iWarp running on top of netdev,
much like rxe's software RoCE.
- mlx5 feature to report events in their raw devx format to userspace
- Expose per-object counters through rdma tool
- Adaptive interrupt moderation for RDMA (DIM), sharing the DIM core
from netdev

You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least

The Linux Kernel documentation
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree. Kernel
|
|
documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress;
|
|
that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
|
|
documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
|
|
documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if
|
|
you want to help out.
|
|
|
|
Licensing documentation
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The following describes the license of the Linux kernel source code
|
|
(GPLv2), how to properly mark the license of individual files in the source
|
|
tree, as well as links to the full license text.

|
User-oriented documentation
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following manuals are written for *users* of the kernel — those who are
|
|
trying to get it to work optimally on a given system.

Firmware-related documentation
|
|

|
|
The following holds information on the kernel's expectations regarding the
|
|
platform firmwares.

Application-developer documentation
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The user-space API manual gathers together documents describing aspects of
|
|
the kernel interface as seen by application developers.

Introduction to kernel development
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
These manuals contain overall information about how to develop the kernel.
|
|
The kernel community is quite large, with thousands of developers
|
|
contributing over the course of a year. As with any large community,
|
|
knowing how things are done will make the process of getting your changes
|
|
merged much easier.

Kernel API documentation
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
These books get into the details of how specific kernel subsystems work
|
|
from the point of view of a kernel developer. Much of the information here
|
|
is taken directly from the kernel source, with supplemental material added
|
|
as needed (or at least as we managed to add it — probably *not* all that is
|
|
needed).
