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

Pull hdi1 rdma driver updates from Doug Ledford:
 "This is the first pull request of the 4.9 merge window for the RDMA
  subsystem. It is only the hfi1 driver. It had dependencies on code
  that only landed late in the 4.7-rc cycle (around 4.7-rc7), so putting
  this with my other for-next code would have create an ugly merge of
  lot of 4.7-rc stuff. For that reason, it's being submitted
  individually. It's been through 0day and linux-next"

+	The new interface will give the user control on the affinity settings
+	for the hfi1 device.
+	As an example, to set an sdma engine irq affinity and thread affinity
+	of a user processes to use the sdma engine, which is "near" in terms
+	of NUMA configuration, or physical cpu location, the user will do:
+
+	echo "3" > /proc/irq/<N>/smp_affinity_list
+	echo "4-7" > /sys/devices/.../sdma3/cpu_list
+	cat /sys/devices/.../sdma3/vl

+	cat /sys/devices/.../sdma4/vl

+
+	to make sure that when a process runs on cpus 4,5,6, or 7,
+	and uses vl=0, then sdma engine 3 is selected by the driver,
+	and also the interrupt of the sdma engine 3 is steered to cpu 3.
+	Similarly, when a process runs on cpus 9,10,11, or 12 and sets vl=1,
+	then engine 4 will be selected and the irq of the sdma engine 4 is
+	steered to cpu 8.
+	This assumes that in the above N is the irq number of "sdma3",
+	and M is irq number of "sdma4" in the /proc/interrupts file.
