<content type='text'>
Introduce a new netlink command to allow rdma event monitoring.
The rdma events supported now are IB device
registration/unregistration and net device attachment/detachment.

Example output of rdma monitor and the commands which trigger
the events:

$ rdma monitor

Like other commits in the tree add __maybe_unused to a static inline in a
C file because some clang compilers will complain about unused code:

The header files in RDMA subsystem are dual licensed and can be
described by simple SPDX tag, so replace all of them at once
together with making them use the same coding style for header
guard defines.

<id>urn:sha1:1d2fedd8561dc469a7503855ee602f4bb3eccfa7</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that IB core supports RDMA device binding with specific net namespace,
enable IB core to accept netlink commands in non init_net namespaces.

This is done by having per net namespace netlink socket.

At present only netlink device handling client RDMA_NL_NLDEV supports
device handling in multiple net namespaces.  Hence do not accept netlink
messages for other clients in non init_net net namespaces.

<content type='text'>
For all string attributes for which we don't currently accept the element
as input, we only use it as output, set the string length to
RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_EMPTY_STRING which is defined as 1.  That way we will only
accept a null string for that element.  This will prevent someone from
writing a new input routine that uses the element without also updating
the policy to have a valid value.

Also while there, make sure the existing entries that are valid have the
correct policy, if not, correct the policy.  Remove unnecessary checks
for nla_strlcpy() overflow once the policy has been set correctly.

<id>urn:sha1:0e2d00eb6fd45f2a645f4874286bdc5b4b53782b</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow userspace to issue a netlink query against the ib_device for
something like "uverbs" and get back the char dev name, inode major/minor,
and interface ABI information for "uverbs0".

Since we are now in netlink this can also trigger a module autoload to
make the uverbs device come into existence.

Largely this will let us replace searching and reading inside sysfs to
setup devices, and provides an alternative (using driver_id) to device
name based provider binding for things like rxe.

<title>RDMA/core: Add RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_NEWLINK/DELLINK support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3856ec4b93c9463d36ee39098dde1fbbd29ec6dd</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for new LINK messages to allow adding and deleting rdma
interfaces.  This will be used initially for soft rdma drivers which
instantiate device instances dynamically by the admin specifying a netdev
device to use.  The rdma_rxe module will be the first user of these
messages.

The design is modeled after RTNL_NEWLINK/DELLINK: rdma drivers register
with the rdma core if they provide link add/delete functions.  Each driver
registers with a unique "type" string, that is used to dispatch messages
coming from user space.  A new RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR is defined for the "type"
string.  User mode will pass 3 attributes in a NEWLINK message:
RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_DEV_NAME for the desired rdma device name to be created,
RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_LINK_TYPE for the "type" of link being added, and
RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_NDEV_NAME for the net_device interface to use for this
link.  The DELLINK message will contain the RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_DEV_INDEX of
the device to delete.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

If a message comes in and we do not have the client in the table, then
try to load the module supplying that client using MODULE_ALIAS to find
it.

This duplicates the scheme seen in other netlink muxes (eg nfnetlink).
