When using IPv4 addresses in RoCEv2, the GID format for the mapped
IPv4 address should be: ::ffff:<4-byte IPv4 address>.

In the cited commit, IPv4 mapped IPV6 addresses had the 3 upper dwords
zeroed out by memset, which resulted in deleting the ffff field.

However, since procedure ipv6_addr_v4mapped() already verifies that the
gid has format ::ffff:<ipv4 address>, no change is needed for the gid,
and the memset can simply be removed.

============

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.
