3050b99850 IB/rxe: Fix race condition between requester and completer
rxe_requester() is sending a pkt with rxe_xmit_packet() and
then calls rxe_update() to update the wqe and qp's psn values.
But sometimes the response is received before the requester
had time to update the wqe in which case the completer
acts on errornous wqe values.
This fix updates the wqe and qp before actually sending
the request and rolls back when xmit fails.

8700e3e7c4 Soft RoCE driver
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.
