+RDMA Support via Auxiliary Device
+=================================
+
+The ionic driver supports RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) functionality
+through the Linux auxiliary device framework when advertised by the firmware.
+RDMA capability is detected during device initialization, and if supported,
+the ethernet driver will create an auxiliary device that allows the RDMA
+driver to bind and provide InfiniBand/RoCE functionality.

+RDMA Driver for the AMD Pensando(R) Ethernet adapter family
+===========================================================
+
+AMD Pensando RDMA driver.
+Copyright (C) 2018-2025, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The ionic_rdma driver provides Remote Direct Memory Access functionality
+for AMD Pensando DSC (Distributed Services Card) devices. This driver
+implements RDMA capabilities as an auxiliary driver that operates in
+conjunction with the ionic ethernet driver.
+
+The ionic ethernet driver detects RDMA capability during device
+initialization and creates auxiliary devices that the ionic_rdma driver
+binds to, establishing the RDMA data path and control interfaces.
+
+Identifying the Adapter
+=======================
+
+See Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/pensando/ionic.rst
+for more information on identifying the adapter.
+
+Enabling the driver
+===================
+
+The ionic_rdma driver depends on the ionic ethernet driver.
+See Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/pensando/ionic.rst
+for detailed information on enabling and configuring the ionic driver.
+
+The ionic_rdma driver is enabled via the standard kernel configuration system,
+using the make command::
+
+ make oldconfig/menuconfig/etc.
+
+The driver is located in the menu structure at:
+
+ -> Device Drivers
+ -> InfiniBand support
+ -> AMD Pensando DSC RDMA/RoCE Support
+
+Support
+=======
+
+For general Linux RDMA support, please use the RDMA mailing
+list, which is monitored by AMD Pensando personnel::
+
+ linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org
