Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma
Pull rdma fixes from Doug Ledford: "Final set of -rc fixes for 4.6. I've collected up a number of patches that are all pretty small with the exception of only a couple. The hfi1 driver has a number of important patches, and it is what really drives the line count of this pull request up. These are all small and I've got this kernel built and running in the test lab (I have most of the hardware, I think nes is the only thing in this patch set that I can't say I've personally tested and have up and running). Summary: - A number of collected fixes for oopses, memory corruptions, deadlocks, etc. All of these fixes are small (many only 5-10 lines), obvious, and tested. - Fix for the security issue related to the use of write for bi-directional communications" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma: RDMA/nes: don't leak skb if carrier down IB/security: Restrict use of the write() interface IB/hfi1: Use kernel default llseek for ui device IB/hfi1: Don't attempt to free resources if initialization failed IB/hfi1: Fix missing lock/unlock in verbs drain callback IB/rdmavt: Fix send scheduling IB/hfi1: Prevent unpinning of wrong pages IB/hfi1: Fix deadlock caused by locking with wrong scope IB/hfi1: Prevent NULL pointer deferences in caching code MAINTAINERS: Update iser/isert maintainer contact info IB/mlx5: Expose correct max_sge_rd limit RDMA/iw_cxgb4: Fix bar2 virt addr calculation for T4 chips iw_cxgb4: handle draining an idle qp iw_cxgb3: initialize ibdev.iwcm->ifname for port mapping iw_cxgb4: initialize ibdev.iwcm->ifname for port mapping IB/core: Don't drain non-existent rq queue-pair IB/core: Fix oops in ib_cache_gid_set_default_gid
