This code is far from a TCP stack. It's main purpose is to exchange
RDMA MPA request/response messages that are required by the iWarp specs
and therefore needed by our hardware. All RNIC hardware vendors need
this MPA message exchange, including those already accepted into
kernel.org. Do you have an alternative suggestion?
For the record, the existing linux RNICS don't exactly work this way:
Ammasso handles all TCP connection setup and MPA negotiation in HW/FW.
The connection setup interface between the RNIC and host driver are
strictly for RDMA connections.
Chelsio has a message based interface to the HW/FW for establishing
TCP connections and exchanging data in streaming mode. No TCP
processing is done in the driver.
