I likely don't understand nor I reviewed the patches.
Part that I don't understand is GID index 0 for RoCE.
RoCE traffic runs over all the GID entries and for all practical purposes from non_zero index.
How will it work?
It is better if you explain it in the commit log, why its done this way, 'what' part is already present the patch.
