2da36d44a9 IB/rxe: add RXE_START_MASK for rxe_opcode IB_OPCODE_RC_SEND_ONLY_INV
w/o RXE_START_MASK, the last_psn of IB_OPCODE_RC_SEND_ONLY_INV
will not be updated in update_wqe_psn, and the corresponding
wqe will not be acked in rxe_completer due to its last_psn is
zero. Finally, the other wqe will also not be able to be acked,
because the wqe of IB_OPCODE_RC_SEND_ONLY_INV with last_psn 0
is still there. This causes large amount of io timeout when
nvmeof is over rxe.

Add RXE_START_MASK for IB_OPCODE_RC_SEND_ONLY_INV to fix this.

8700e3e7c4 Soft RoCE driver
Soft RoCE (RXE) - The software RoCE driver

ib_rxe implements the RDMA transport and registers to the RDMA core
device as a kernel verbs provider. It also implements the packet IO
layer. On the other hand ib_rxe registers to the Linux netdev stack
as a udp encapsulating protocol, in that case RDMA, for sending and
receiving packets over any Ethernet device.  This yields a RDMA
transport over the UDP/Ethernet network layer forming a RoCEv2
compatible device.

The configuration procedure of the Soft RoCE drivers requires
binding to any existing Ethernet network device. This is done with
/sys interface.

A userspace Soft RoCE library (librxe) provides user applications
the ability to run with Soft RoCE devices.  The use of rxe verbs ins
user space requires the inclusion of librxe as a device specifics
plug-in to libibverbs. librxe is packaged separately.
