If RoCE PDUs being sent or received contain pad bytes, then the iCRC
is miscalculated, resulting in PDUs being emitted by RXE with an incorrect
iCRC, as well as ingress PDUs being dropped due to erroneously detecting
a bad iCRC in the PDU. The fix is to include the pad bytes, if any,
in iCRC computations.
Note: This bug has caused broken on-the-wire compatibility with actual
hardware RoCE devices since the soft-RoCE driver was first put into the
mainstream kernel. Fixing it will create an incompatibility with the
original soft-RoCE devices, but is necessary to be compatible with real
hardware devices.

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.
