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.

In case of striding RQ, we use MPWRQ (Multi Packet WQE RQ), which means that WQE (RX descriptor) can be used for many packets and so the WQE is much bigger than MTU. In virtualization setups where the port mtu can be larger than the vf mtu, if received packet is bigger than MTU, it won't be dropped by HW on too small receive WQE. If we use linear SKB in striding RQ, since each stride has room for mtu size payload and skb info, an oversized packet can lead to crash for crossing allocated page boundary upon the call to build_skb. So driver needs to check packet size and drop it. Introduce new SW rx counter, rx_oversize_pkts_sw_drop, which counts the number of packets dropped by the driver for being too large. As a new field is added to the RQ struct, re-open the channels whenever this field is being used in datapath (i.e., in the case of linear Striding RQ).
