2	tristate "Software RDMA over TCP/IP (iWARP) driver"
3	depends on INET && INFINIBAND && LIBCRC32C
4	depends on INFINIBAND_VIRT_DMA
5	help
6	This driver implements the iWARP RDMA transport over
7	the Linux TCP/IP network stack. It enables a system with a
8	standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a iWARP
9	adapter or with another system running the SIW driver.
10	(See also RXE which is a similar software driver for RoCE.)
11
12	The driver interfaces with the Linux RDMA stack and
13	implements both a kernel and user space RDMA verbs API.
14	The user space verbs API requires a support
15	library named libsiw which is loaded by the generic user
16	space verbs API, libibverbs. To implement RDMA over
17	TCP/IP, the driver further interfaces with the Linux
18	in-kernel TCP socket layer.
