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

Pull rdma fixes from Doug Ledford:
 "We had a few more items creep up over the last week. Given we are in
  -rc8, these are obviously limited to bugs that have a big downside and
  for which we are certain of the fix.

  The first is a straight up oops bug that all you have to do is read
  the code to see it's a guaranteed 100% oops bug.

  The second is a use-after-free issue. We get away lucky if the queue
  we are shutting down is empty, but if it isn't, we can end up oopsing.
  We really need to drain the queue before destroying it.

  The final one is an issue with bad user input causing us to access our
  port array out of bounds. While fixing the array out of bounds issue,
  it was noticed that the original code did the same thing twice (the
  call to rdma_ah_set_port_num()), so its removal is not balanced by a
  readd elsewhere, it was already where it needed to be in addition to
  where it didn't need to be.

  Summary:

   - Oops fix in hfi1 driver

   - use-after-free issue in iser-target

   - use of user supplied array index without proper checking"

README

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.
