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.
