Mauro Carvalho Chehab 97162a1ee8 docs: infiniband: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
The InfiniBand docs are plain text with no markups.  So, all we needed to
do were to add the title markups and some markup sequences in order to
properly parse tables, lists and literal blocks.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the
main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

config INFINIBAND_IPOIB
tristate "IP-over-InfiniBand"
depends on NETDEVICES && INET && (IPV6 || IPV6=n)
---help---
Support for the IP-over-InfiniBand protocol (IPoIB). This
transports IP packets over InfiniBand so you can use your IB
device as a fancy NIC.
See Documentation/infiniband/ipoib.rst for more information
config INFINIBAND_IPOIB_CM
bool "IP-over-InfiniBand Connected Mode support"
depends on INFINIBAND_IPOIB
default n
---help---
This option enables support for IPoIB connected mode. After
enabling this option, you need to switch to connected mode
through /sys/class/net/ibXXX/mode to actually create
connections, and then increase the interface MTU with
e.g. ifconfig ib0 mtu 65520.
WARNING: Enabling connected mode will trigger some packet
drops for multicast and UD mode traffic from this interface,
unless you limit mtu for these destinations to 2044.
config INFINIBAND_IPOIB_DEBUG
bool "IP-over-InfiniBand debugging" if EXPERT
depends on INFINIBAND_IPOIB
default y
---help---
This option causes debugging code to be compiled into the
IPoIB driver. The output can be turned on via the
debug_level and mcast_debug_level module parameters (which
can also be set after the driver is loaded through sysfs).
This option also creates a directory tree under ipoib/ in
debugfs, which contains files that expose debugging
information about IB multicast groups used by the IPoIB
driver.
config INFINIBAND_IPOIB_DEBUG_DATA
bool "IP-over-InfiniBand data path debugging"
depends on INFINIBAND_IPOIB_DEBUG
---help---
This option compiles debugging code into the data path
of the IPoIB driver. The output can be turned on via the
data_debug_level module parameter; however, even with output
turned off, this debugging code will have some performance
impact.
