Soft RoCE driver

Soft RoCE (RXE) - The software RoCE driver ib_rxe implements the RDMA transport and registers to the RDMA core device as a kernel verbs provider. It also implements the packet IO layer. On the other hand ib_rxe registers to the Linux netdev stack as a udp encapsulating protocol, in that case RDMA, for sending and receiving packets over any Ethernet device. This yields a RDMA transport over the UDP/Ethernet network layer forming a RoCEv2 compatible device. The configuration procedure of the Soft RoCE drivers requires binding to any existing Ethernet network device. This is done with /sys interface. A userspace Soft RoCE library (librxe) provides user applications the ability to run with Soft RoCE devices. The use of rxe verbs ins user space requires the inclusion of librxe as a device specifics plug-in to libibverbs. librxe is packaged separately.

+	tristate "Software RDMA over Ethernet (RoCE) driver"
+	depends on INET && PCI && INFINIBAND
+	depends on NET_UDP_TUNNEL
+	---help---
+	This driver implements the InfiniBand RDMA transport over
+	the Linux network stack. It enables a system with a
+	standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a RoCE
+	adapter or with another system running the RXE driver.
+	Documentation on InfiniBand and RoCE can be downloaded at
+	www.infinibandta.org and www.openfabrics.org. (See also
+	siw which is a similar software driver for iWARP.)
+
+	The driver is split into two layers, one interfaces with the
+	Linux RDMA stack and implements a kernel or user space
+	verbs API. The user space verbs API requires a support
+	library named librxe which is loaded by the generic user
+	space verbs API, libibverbs. The other layer interfaces
+	with the Linux network stack at layer 3.
+
+	To configure and work with soft-RoCE driver please use the
+	following wiki page under "configure Soft-RoCE (RXE)" section:
