Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
 "This is the final round of mostly small fixes in our initial submit.

  It's mostly minor fixes and driver updates. The only change of note is
  adding a virt_boundary_mask to the SCSI host and host template to
  parametrise this for NVMe devices instead of having them do a call in
  slave_alloc. It's a fairly straightforward conversion except in the
  two NVMe handling drivers that didn't set it who now have a virtual
  infinity parameter added"

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is mostly update of the usual drivers: qla2xxx, hpsa, lpfc, ufs,
  mpt3sas, ibmvscsi, megaraid_sas, bnx2fc and hisi_sas as well as the
  removal of the osst driver (I heard from Willem privately that he
  would like the driver removed because all his test hardware has
  failed). Plus number of minor changes, spelling fixes and other
  trivia.

  The big merge conflict this time around is the SPDX licence tags.
  Following discussion on linux-next, we believe our version to be more
  accurate than the one in the tree, so the resolution is to take our
  version for all the SPDX conflicts"

Note on the SPDX license tag conversion conflicts: the SCSI tree had
done its own SPDX conversion, which in some cases conflicted with the
treewide ones done by Thomas &amp; co.

In almost all cases, the conflicts were purely syntactic: the SCSI tree
used the old-style SPDX tags ("GPL-2.0" and "GPL-2.0+") while the
treewide conversion had used the new-style ones ("GPL-2.0-only" and
"GPL-2.0-or-later").

In these cases I picked the new-style one.

In a few cases, the SPDX conversion was actually different, though.  As
explained by James above, and in more detail in a pre-pull-request
thread:

 "The other problem is actually substantive: In the libsas code Luben
  Tuikov originally specified gpl 2.0 only by dint of stating:

  * This file is licensed under GPLv2.

  In all the libsas files, but then muddied the water by quoting GPLv2
  verbatim (which includes the or later than language). So for these
  files Christoph did the conversion to v2 only SPDX tags and Thomas
  converted to v2 or later tags"

So in those cases, where the spdx tag substantially mattered, I took the
SCSI tree conversion of it, but then also took the opportunity to turn
the old-style "GPL-2.0" into a new-style "GPL-2.0-only" tag.

Similarly, when there were whitespace differences or other differences
to the comments around the copyright notices, I took the version from
the SCSI tree as being the more specific conversion.

Finally, in the spdx conversions that had no conflicts (because the
treewide ones hadn't been done for those files), I just took the SCSI
tree version as-is, even if it was old-style.  The old-style conversions
are perfectly valid, even if the "-only" and "-or-later" versions are
perhaps more descriptive.

<title>IB/ipoib: Add child to parent list only if device initialized</title>

<content type='text'>
Despite failure in ipoib_dev_init() we continue with initialization flow
and creation of child device. It causes to the situation where this child
device is added too early to parent device list.

Change the logic, so in case of failure we properly return error from
ipoib_dev_init() and add child only in success path.

vzalloc has already zeroed the memory.  So a memset is unneeded.

For dependencies in next patches.

Resolve conflicts:
- Use uverbs_get_cleared_udata() with new cq allocation flow
- Continue to delete nes despite SPDX conflict
- Resolve list appends in mlx5_command_str()
- Use u16 for vport_rule stuff
- Resolve list appends in struct ib_client

The InfiniBand docs are plain text with no markups.  So, all we needed to
do were to add the title markups and some markup sequences in order to
properly parse tables, lists and literal blocks.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the
main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

<title>RDMA/rw: Use IB_WR_REG_MR_INTEGRITY for PI handover</title>

Replace the old signature handover API with the new one. The new API
simplifes PI handover code complexity for ULPs and improve performance.
For RW API it will reduce the maximum number of work requests per task
and the need of dealing with multiple MRs (and their registrations and
invalidations) per task. All the mappings and registration of the data
and the protection buffers is done by the LLD using a single WR and a
special MR type (IB_MR_TYPE_INTEGRITY) for the PI handover operation.

The setup of the tested benchmark (using iSER ULP):
 - 2 servers with 24 cores (1 initiator and 1 target)
 - ConnectX-4/ConnectX-5 adapters
 - 24 target sessions with 1 LUN each
 - ramdisk backstore
 - PI active

Performance results running fio (24 jobs, 128 iodepth) using
write_generate=1 and read_verify=1 (w/w.o patch):

bs      IOPS(read)        IOPS(write)
----    ----------        ----------
512   1243.3K/1182.3K    1725.1K/1680.2K
4k    571233/528835      743293/748259
32k   72388/71086        71789/93573

Using write_generate=0 and read_verify=0 (w/w.o patch):
bs      IOPS(read)        IOPS(write)
----    ----------        ----------
512   1572.1K/1427.2K    1823.5K/1724.3K
4k    921992/916194      753772/768267
32k   75052/73960        73180/95484

There is a performance degradation when writing big block sizes.
Degradation is caused by the complexity of combining multiple
indirections and perform RDMA READ operation from it. This will be
fixed in the following patches by reducing the indirections if
possible.
