When posting a packet on the ll2 tx, we can provide a cookie that will be returned upon tx completion. This cookie is the ll2 iwarp buffer which is then reposted to the rx ring. Part of the unaligned mpa flow is determining when a buffer can be reposted. Each buffer needs to be sent only once as a cookie for on the tx ring. In packed fpdu case, only the last packet will be sent with the buffer, meaning we need to handle the case that a cookie can be NULL on tx complete. In addition, when a fpdu splits over two buffers, but there are no more fpdus on the second buffer, two buffers need to be provided as a cookie. To avoid changing the ll2 interface to provide two cookies, we introduce a piggy buf pointer, relevant for iWARP only, that holds a pointer to a second buffer that needs to be released during tx completion.

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.
