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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.

When skb is sent, it will pass the following functions in soft roce.
rxe_send [rdma_rxe]
ip_local_out
__ip_local_out
ip_output
ip_finish_output
ip_finish_output2
dev_queue_xmit
__dev_queue_xmit
dev_hard_start_xmit
In the above functions, if error occurs in the above functions or
iptables rules drop skb after ip_local_out, kfree_skb will be called.
So it is not necessary to call kfree_skb in soft roce module again.
Or else crash will occur.
The steps to reproduce:
server client
--------- ---------
|1.1.1.1|<----rxe-channel--->|1.1.1.2|
--------- ---------
On server: rping -s -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 10000 -S 512
On client: rping -c -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 10000 -S 512
The kernel configs CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS are enabled on both server and client.
When rping runs, run the following command in server:
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 4791 -j DROP
Without this patch, crash will occur.
