Merge tag 'for-linus-ioctl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma
Pull rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
"This is a big pull request.
Of note is that I'm sending you the new ioctl API for the rdma
subsystem. We put it up on linux-api@, but didn't get much response.
The API is complex, but it solves two different problems in one go:
1) The bi-directional nature of the RDMA file write calls, which
created the security hole we had to handle (and for which the fix
is now causing problems for systems in production, we were a bit
over zealous in the fix and the ability to open a device, then
fork, then create new queue pairs on the device and use them is
broken).
2) The bloat caused by different vendors implementing extensions to
the base verbs API. Each vendor's hardware is slightly different,
and the hardware might be suitable for one extension but not
another.
By the time we add generic extensions for all the different ways
that the different hardware can offload things, the API becomes
bloated. Things like our completion structs have started to exceed
a cache line in size because of all the elements needed to support
this. That in turn shows up heavily in the performance graphs with
a noticable drop in performance on 100Gigabit links as our
completion structs go from occupying one cache line to 1+.
This API makes things like the completion structs modular in a
very similar way to netlink so that your structs can only include
the items needed for the offloads/features you are actually using
on a given queue pair. In that way we support everything, but only
use what we need, and our structs stay smaller.
The ioctl API is better explained by the posting on linux-api@ than I
can explain it here, so I'll just leave it at that.
The rest of the pull request is typical stuff.

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.
