Soft RoCE (RXE) - The software RoCE driver
ib_rxe implements the RDMA transport and registers to the RDMA core
device as a kernel verbs provider. It also implements the packet IO
layer. On the other hand ib_rxe registers to the Linux netdev stack
as a udp encapsulating protocol, in that case RDMA, for sending and
receiving packets over any Ethernet device. This yields a RDMA
transport over the UDP/Ethernet network layer forming a RoCEv2
compatible device.
The configuration procedure of the Soft RoCE drivers requires
binding to any existing Ethernet network device. This is done with
/sys interface.
A userspace Soft RoCE library (librxe) provides user applications
the ability to run with Soft RoCE devices. The use of rxe verbs ins
user space requires the inclusion of librxe as a device specifics
plug-in to libibverbs. librxe is packaged separately.

Userspace InfiniBand Management Datagram (MAD) support. This

is the kernel side of the userspace MAD support, which allows

userspace processes to send and receive MADs. You will also

Userspace InfiniBand access support. This enables the
|

kernel side of userspace verbs and the userspace
|
|
communication manager (CM). This allows userspace processes
|
|
to set up connections and directly access InfiniBand

hardware for fast-path operations. You will also need
|
|
libibverbs, libibcm and a hardware driver library from
|

<http://www.openfabrics.org/git/>.
