[ Upstream commit 2030abddec6884aaf5892f5724c48fc340e6826f ]
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 ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
