The feature depends on the CQE size and if the CQE size is 64B, it will work for payload smaller than 32. If the CQE size is 128B, it will work for payload smaller than 64. The feature works for responder and requestor: 1. For responder, if the payload is small as required above, the data will be part of the CQE, and thus we save another PCI transaction the recv buffers. 2. For requestor, this can be used to get the RDMA_READ response and RDMA_ATOMIC response in the CQE. This feature is already supported in upstream. As part of this series, we are adding support for DC transport type and ability to enable the feature (force enable) in the requestor when SQ is not configured to signal all WRs.
