Gustavo A. R. Silva 28b5b3a23b RDMA/core: Document confusing code
While looking into Coverity ID 1351047 I ran into the following
piece of code at
drivers/infiniband/core/verbs.c:496:

ret = rdma_addr_find_l2_eth_by_grh(&dgid, &sgid,
                                   ah_attr->dmac,
                                   wc->wc_flags & IB_WC_WITH_VLAN ?
                                   NULL : &vlan_id,
                                   &if_index, &hoplimit);

The issue here is that the position of arguments in the call to
rdma_addr_find_l2_eth_by_grh() function do not match the order of
the parameters:

&dgid is passed to sgid
&sgid is passed to dgid

This is the function prototype:

int rdma_addr_find_l2_eth_by_grh(const union ib_gid *sgid,
 				 const union ib_gid *dgid,
 				 u8 *dmac, u16 *vlan_id, int *if_index,
 				 int *hoplimit)

My question here is if this is intentional?

Answer:
Yes. ib_init_ah_from_wc() creates ah from the incoming packet.
Incoming packet has dgid of the receiver node on which this code is
getting executed and sgid contains the GID of the sender.

When resolving mac address of destination, you use arrived dgid as
sgid and use sgid as dgid because sgid contains destinations GID whom to
respond to.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
