Instead of using the write buffer for reading we will use a dedicated buffer only for reading ICM memory. Due to the new support for args, we can have a case with pending_wc being odd number, and with reading into the same write buffer, it is possible to overwrite next write on the same slot. For example: pending_wc is 17 so the buffer for write is: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | and we have requests as follows: r wr wr wr wr wr wr wr wr Now, the first read will be written into the last write because we use the same buffer for read and write, before it was written to the HW and we will have a wrong data in the ICM area.

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.
