The commit referenced below can take a reference to the AH which is never
dropped. This only happens in the UD request path. This patch optionally
passes that AH back to the caller so that it can hold the reference while
the AV is being accessed and then drop it. Code to do this is added to
rxe_req.c. The AV is also passed to rxe_prepare in rxe_net.c as an
optimization.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
