Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array
(typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy
from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the
fast path (i.e. few iovec elements).
The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used
the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between
the too. Let's just add a kernel doc to clarify what the semantics are
for each function.

Pull rdma qedr RoCE driver from Doug Ledford:
"Early on in the merge window I mentioned I had a backlog of new
drivers waiting to be reviewed and that, in addition to the hns-roce
driver, I wanted to get possible a couple more reviewed. I ended up
only having the time to complete one of the additional drivers.
During Dave Miller's pull request this go around, there were a series
of 9 patches to the QLogic qed net driver that add basic support for a
paired RoCE driver. That support is currently not functional because
it is missing the matching RoCE driver in the RDMA subsystem. I
managed to finish that review. However, because it goes against part
of Dave's net pull, and a part that was accepted a day or two after
the merge window opened, to apply cleanly it has to be applied to
either the tip of Dave's net branch, or as I did in this case, I just
applied it to your master after you had taken Dave's pull request."

Merge tag 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma
Pull more rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
"This merge window was the first where Huawei had to try and coordinate
their patches between their net driver and their new roce driver
(similar to mlx4 and mlx5).
They didn't do horribly, but there were some issues (and we knew that
because they simply didn't know what to do in the beginning). As a
result, I had a set of patches that depended on some patches that
normally would have come to you via Dave's tree. Those patches have
been on netdev@ for a while, so I got Dave to give me his approval to
send them to you. As such, the other 29 patches I had behind them are
also now ready to go.
This catches the hns and hns-roce drivers up to current, and for
future patches we are working with them to get them up to speed on how
to do joint driver development so that they don't have these sorts of
cross tree dependency issues again. BTW, Dave gave me permission to
add his Acked-by: to the patches against the net tree, but I've had
this branch through 0day (but not linux-next since it was off by
itself) and I didn't want to rebase the series just to add Dave's ack
for the 8 patches in the net area.

- Small patch set for hns net driver that the roce patches depend on
- Various fixes to the hns-roce driver

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This includes a couple of fixes for cpufreq regressions introduced in
4.8, a rework of the intel_pstate algorithm used on Atom processors
(that took some time to test) plus a fix and a couple of cleanups in
that driver, a CPPC cpufreq driver fix, and a some devfreq fixes and
cleanups (core and exynos-nocp).
Specifics:
- Fix two cpufreq regressions causing undesirable changes in behavior
to appear (one in the core and one in the conservative governor)
introduced during the 4.8 cycle (Aaro Koskinen, Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix the way the intel_pstate driver accesses MSRs related to the
hardware-managed P-states (HWP) feature during the initialization
which currently is unsafe and may cause the processor to generate a
general protection fault (Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Rework the intel_pstate's P-state selection algorithm used on Atom
processors to avoid known problems with the current one and to make
the computation more straightforward, which also happens to improve
performance in multiple benchmarks a bit (Rafael Wysocki).
- Improve two comments in the intel_pstate driver (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix the desired performance computation in the CPPC cpufreq driver
(Hoan Tran).
- Fix the devfreq core to avoid printing misleading error messages in

New mount option "idsfromsid" indicates to cifs.ko that
it should try to retrieve the uid and gid owner fields
from special sids. This patch adds the code to parse the owner
sids in the ACL to see if they match, and if so populate the
uid and/or gid from them. This is faster than upcalling for
them and asking winbind, and is a fairly common case, and is
also helpful when cifs.upcall and idmapping is not configured.

The timeout loop terminates when the loop count is zero, but the decrement
of the count variable is post check. So count is -1 when we check for the
timeout and therefor the error message is supressed.
Change it to predecrement, so the error message is emitted.

The J-Core AIC does not have separate interrupt numbers reserved for
cpu-local vs global interrupts. Instead, the driver requesting the irq
is expected to know whether its device uses per-cpu interrupts or not.
Previously it was assumed that handle_simple_irq could work for both
cases, but it intentionally drops interrupts for an irq number that
already has a handler running. This resulted in the timer interrupt
for one cpu being lost when multiple cpus' timers were set for
approximately the same expiration time, leading to stalls. In theory
the same could also happen with IPIs.
To solve the problem, instead of registering handle_simple_irq as the
handler, register a wrapper function which checks whether the irq to
be handled was requested as per-cpu or not, and passes it to
handle_simple_irq or handle_percpu_irq accordingly.

Reschedule interrupt may be called in cpu idle state. This causes lockdep

Add irq_enter/exit() in smp_reschedule_interrupt(), irq_enter() tells the RCU
subsystems to end the extended quiescent state, so the following trace call in
ack_APIC_irq() works correctly.
