The rxe send path currently counts the number of skbs outstanding between the rxe driver and the ethernet driver to prevent too many packets to accumulate waiting to send. This patch makes the local loopback path behave the same way. The loopback path forwards the packets to the receive path which will eventually call kfree_skb on all packets and drop the qp references. This makes the loopback path more useful for software testing.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
