Added the interface in the infiniband driver that applies the rdma_dim adaptive moderation. There is now a special function for allocating an ib_cq that uses rdma_dim. Performance improvement (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86) running FIO benchmark over NVMf between two equal end-hosts with 56 cores across a Mellanox switch using null_blk device: READS without DIM: blk size | BW | IOPS | 99th percentile latency | 99.99th latency 512B | 3.8GiB/s | 7.7M | 1401 usec | 2442 usec 4k | 7.0GiB/s | 1.8M | 4817 usec | 6587 usec 64k | 10.7GiB/s| 175k | 9896 usec | 10028 usec IO WRITES without DIM: blk size | BW | IOPS | 99th percentile latency | 99.99th latency 512B | 3.6GiB/s | 7.5M | 1434 usec | 2474 usec 4k | 6.3GiB/s | 1.6M | 938 usec | 1221 usec 64k | 10.7GiB/s| 175k | 8979 usec | 12780 usec IO READS with DIM: blk size | BW | IOPS | 99th percentile latency | 99.99th latency 512B | 4GiB/s | 8.2M | 816 usec | 889 usec 4k | 10.1GiB/s| 2.65M| 3359 usec | 5080 usec 64k | 10.7GiB/s| 175k | 9896 usec | 10028 usec IO WRITES with DIM: blk size | BW | IOPS | 99th percentile latency | 99.99th latency 512B | 3.9GiB/s | 8.1M | 799 usec | 922 usec 4k | 9.6GiB/s | 2.5M | 717 usec | 1004 usec 64k | 10.7GiB/s| 176k | 8586 usec | 12256 usec The rdma_dim algorithm was designed to measure the effectiveness of moderation on the flow in a general way and thus should be appropriate for all RDMA storage protocols. rdma_dim is configured to be the default option based on performance improvement seen after extensive tests.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
