Linus Torvalds 5d24ae67a9 4.21 merge window pull request
This has been a fairly typical cycle, with the usual sorts of driver
 updates. Several series continue to come through which improve and
 modernize various parts of the core code, and we finally are starting to
 get the uAPI command interface cleaned up.
 
 - Various driver fixes for bnxt_re, cxgb3/4, hfi1, hns, i40iw, mlx4, mlx5,
   qib, rxe, usnic
 
 - Rework the entire syscall flow for uverbs to be able to run over
   ioctl(). Finally getting past the historic bad choice to use write()
   for command execution
 
 - More functional coverage with the mlx5 'devx' user API
 
 - Start of the HFI1 series for 'TID RDMA'
 
 - SRQ support in the hns driver
 
 - Support for new IBTA defined 2x lane widths
 
 - A big series to consolidate all the driver function pointers into
   a big struct and have drivers provide a 'static const' version of the
   struct instead of open coding initialization
 
 - New 'advise_mr' uAPI to control device caching/loading of page tables
 
 - Support for inline data in SRPT
 
 - Modernize how umad uses the driver core and creates cdev's and sysfs
   files
 
 - First steps toward removing 'uobject' from the view of the drivers

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.
