Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma
Pull rdma updates from Jason Gunthorpe: "This has been a smaller cycle with many of the commits being smallish code fixes and improvements across the drivers. - Driver updates for bnxt_re, cxgb4, hfi1, hns, mlx5, nes, qedr, and rxe - Memory window support in hns - mlx5 user API 'flow mutate/steering' allows accessing the full packet mangling and matching machinery from user space - Support inter-working with verbs API calls in the 'devx' mlx5 user API, and provide options to use devx with less privilege - Modernize the use of syfs and the device interface to use attribute groups and cdev properly for uverbs, and clean up some of the core code's device list management - More progress on net namespaces for RDMA devices - Consolidate driver BAR mmapping support into core code helpers and rework how RDMA holds poitners to mm_struct for get_user_pages cases - First pass to use 'dev_name' instead of ib_device->name - Device renaming for RDMA devices" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma: (242 commits) IB/mlx5: Add support for extended atomic operations RDMA/core: Fix comment for hw stats init for port == 0 RDMA/core: Refactor ib_register_device() function RDMA/core: Fix unwinding flow in case of error to register device ib_srp: Remove WARN_ON in srp_terminate_io() IB/mlx5: Allow scatter to CQE without global signaled WRs IB/mlx5: Verify that driver supports user flags IB/mlx5: Support scatter to CQE for DC transport type RDMA/drivers: Use core provided API for registering device attributes RDMA/core: Allow existing drivers to set one sysfs group per device IB/rxe: Remove unnecessary enum values RDMA/umad: Use kernel API to allocate umad indexes RDMA/uverbs: Use kernel API to allocate uverbs indexes RDMA/core: Increase total number of RDMA ports across all devices IB/mlx4: Add port and TID to MAD debug print IB/mlx4: Enable debug print of SMPs RDMA/core: Rename ports_parent to ports_kobj RDMA/core: Do not expose unsupported counters IB/mlx4: Refer to the device kobject instead of ports_parent RDMA/nldev: Allow IB device rename through RDMA netlink ...

+Description:
+ Indicates the port number of this network device, formatted
+ as a decimal value. Some NICs have multiple independent ports
+ on the same PCI bus, device and function. This attribute allows
+ userspace to distinguish the respective interfaces.
+
+ Note: some device drivers started to use 'dev_id' for this
+ purpose since long before 3.15 and have not adopted the new
+ attribute ever since. To query the port number, some tools look
+ exclusively at 'dev_port', while others only consult 'dev_id'.
+ If a network device has multiple client adapter ports as
+ described in the previous paragraph and does not set this
+ attribute to its port number, it's a kernel bug.
