Based on discussion with Kate Stewart this license is not a
BSD-2-Clause, but is now formally identified as Linux-OpenIB
by SPDX.
The key difference between the licenses is in the 'warranty'
paragraph.
if_infiniband.h refers to the 'OpenIB.org' license, but
does not include the text, instead it links to an obsolete
web site that contains a license that matches the BSD-2-Clause
SPX. There is no 'three clause' version of the OpenIB.org
license.

The new auditing standard for the subsystem will be to only use
__aligned_64 in uapi headers to try and prevent 32/64 compat bugs
from existing in the future.
Changing all existing usage will help ensure new developers copy the
right idea.
The before/after of this patch was tested using pahole on 32 and 64
bit compiles to confirm it has no change in the structure layout, so
this patch is a NOP.

With 32 bit compilation several of the fields become misaligned here.
Fixing this is an ABI break for 32 bit rxe and it is in well used
portions of the rxe ABI.
To handle this we bump the ABI version, as expected. However the user
space driver doesn't handle it properly today, so all existing user
space continues to work.
Updated userspace will start to require the necessary kernel version.
We don't expect there to be any 32 bit users of rxe. Most likely cases,
such as ARM 32 already generally don't work because rxe does not handle
the CPU cache properly on its shared with userspace pages.

To help automatic detection we want pahole to report the same struct
layouts for 32 and 64 bit compiles. These cases are all implicit
padding added at the end of embedded structs as part of a union.
The added reserved fields have no impact on the ABI.

Open coding pointer math is not acceptable for describing the uABI in
RDMA. Provide structs for all the cases.
The udata is casted to the struct as close to the verbs entry point
as possible for maximum clarity. Function signatures and so forth
are revised to allow for this.

Linux has two 'linux/socket.h' files - and only the one in the kernel
defines struct sockaddr - the user space one does not.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

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.
