The descriptions have been collected from git commit logs, reading

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma
Pull more rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
"This is the second group of code for the 4.7 merge window. It looks
large, but only in one sense. I'll get to that in a minute. The list
of changes here breaks down as follows:
- Dynamic counter infrastructure in the IB drivers
This is a sysfs based code to allow free form access to the
hardware counters RDMA devices might support so drivers don't need
to code this up repeatedly themselves
- SendOnlyFullMember multicast support
- IB router support
- A couple misc fixes
- The big item on the list: hfi1 driver updates, plus moving the hfi1
driver out of staging
There was a group of 15 patches in the hfi1 list that I thought I had
in the first pull request but they weren't. So that added to the
length of the hfi1 section here.
As far as these go, everything but the hfi1 is pretty straight
forward.
The hfi1 is, if you recall, the driver that Al had complaints about
how it used the write/writev interfaces in an overloaded fashion. The
write portion of their interface behaved like the write handler in the
IB stack proper and did bi-directional communications. The writev
interface, on the other hand, only accepts SDMA request structures.
The completions for those structures are sent back via an entirely
different event mechanism.
With the security patch, we put security checks on the write
interface, however, we also knew they would be going away soon. Now,
we've converted the write handler in the hfi1 driver to use ioctls
from the IB reserved magic area for its bidirectional communications.
With that change, Intel has addressed all of the items originally on
their TODO when they went into staging (as well as many items added to
the list later).
As such, I moved them out, and since they were the last item in the
staging/rdma directory, and I don't have immediate plans to use the
staging area again, I removed the staging/rdma area.
Because of the move out of staging, as well as a series of 5 patches
in the hfi1 driver that removed code people thought should be done in
a different way and was optional to begin with (a snoop debug
interface, an eeprom driver for an eeprom connected directory to their
hfi1 chip and not via an i2c bus, and a few other things like that),
the line count, especially the removal count, is high"
* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma: (56 commits)

...
In practice, each RDMA device has a unique set of counters that the
hardware implements. Having a central set of counters that they must
all adhere to is limiting and causes many useful counters to not be
available.
Therefore we create a dynamic counter registration infrastructure.
The driver must implement a stats structure allocation routine, in
which the driver must place the directory name it wants, a list of
names for all of the counters, an array of u64 counters themselves,
plus a few generic configuration options.
We then implement a core routine to create a sysfs file for each
of the named stats elements, and a core routine to retrieve the
stats when any of the sysfs attribute files are read.
To avoid excessive beating on the stats generation routine in the
drivers, the core code also caches the stats for a short period of
time so that someone attempting to read all of the stats in a
given device's directory will not result in a stats generation
call per file read.
Future work will attempt to standardize just the shared stats
elements, and possibly add a method to get the stats via netlink
in addition to sysfs.

Add rtnl_link_ops to IPoIB, with the first usage being child device
create/delete through them. Childs devices are now either legacy ones,
created/deleted through the ipoib sysfs entries, or RTNL ones.
Adding support for RTNL childs involved refactoring of ipoib_vlan_add
which is now used by both the sysfs and the link_ops code.
Also, added ndo_uninit entry to support calling unregister_netdevice_queue
from the rtnl dellink entry. This required removal of calls to
ipoib_dev_cleanup from the driver in flows which use unregister_netdevice,
since the networking core will invoke ipoib_uninit which does exactly that.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Add support for setting the P_Key index of sent MADs and getting the
P_Key index of received MADs. This requires a change to the layout of
the ABI structure struct ib_user_mad_hdr, so to avoid breaking
compatibility, we default to the old (unchanged) ABI and add a new
ioctl IB_USER_MAD_ENABLE_PKEY that allows applications that are aware
of the new ABI to opt into using it.
We plan on switching to the new ABI by default in a year or so, and
this patch adds a warning that is printed when an application uses the
old ABI, to push people towards converting to the new ABI.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
