Linus Torvalds f3b5ad89de Second pull request for 4.15-rc
- Fix for SELinux on the umad SMI path. Some old hardware
   does not fill the PKey properly exposing another bug in the newer
   SELinux code.
 - Check the input port as we can exceed array bounds from this
   user supplied value
 - Users are unable to use the hash field support as they want due to
   incorrect checks on the field restrictions, correct that so the
   feature works as intended
 - User triggerable oops in the NETLINK_RDMA handler
 - cxgb4 driver fix for a bad interaction with CQ flushing in iser
   caused by patches in this merge window, and bad CQ flushing during
   normal close.
 - Unbalanced memalloc_noio in ipoib in an error path.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma

Pull rdma fixes from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "More fixes from testing done on the rc kernel, including more SELinux
  testing. Looking forward, lockdep found regression today in ipoib
  which is still being fixed.

  Summary:

   - Fix for SELinux on the umad SMI path. Some old hardware does not
     fill the PKey properly exposing another bug in the newer SELinux
     code.

   - Check the input port as we can exceed array bounds from this user
     supplied value

   - Users are unable to use the hash field support as they want due to
     incorrect checks on the field restrictions, correct that so the
     feature works as intended

   - User triggerable oops in the NETLINK_RDMA handler

   - cxgb4 driver fix for a bad interaction with CQ flushing in iser
     caused by patches in this merge window, and bad CQ flushing during
     normal close.

   - Unbalanced memalloc_noio in ipoib in an error path"

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.
