The cma is currently using a hard-coded value, CMA_IBOE_PACKET_LIFETIME, for the PacketLifeTime, as it can not be determined from the network. This value might not be optimal for all networks. The cma module supports the function rdma_set_ack_timeout to set the ACK timeout for a QP associated with a connection. As per IBTA 12.7.34 local ACK timeout = (2 * PacketLifeTime + Local CA’s ACK delay). Assuming a negligible local ACK delay, we can use PacketLifeTime = local ACK timeout/2 as a reasonable approximation for RoCE networks.

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.
