Creating rxe device on top of vlan interface will create a non-functional device that has an empty gids table and can't be used for rdma cm communication. This is caused by the logic in enum_all_gids_of_dev_cb()/is_eth_port_of_netdev(), which only considers networks connected to "upper devices" of the configured network device, resulting in an empty set of gids for a vlan interface, and attempts to connect via this rdma device fail in cm_init_av_for_response because no gids can be resolved. Apparently, this behavior was implemented to fit the HW-RoCE devices that create RoCE device per port, therefore RXE must behave the same like HW-RoCE devices and create rxe device per real device only. In order to communicate via a vlan interface, the user must use the gid index of the vlan address instead of creating rxe over vlan.

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.
