There is a significant latency penalty when processing an ingress Receive if the Receive buffer resides in memory that is not on the same NUMA node as the the CPU handling completions for a CQ. The system administrator and the device driver determine which CPU handles completions. This CPU does not change during life of the CQ. Further the Upper Layer does not have any visibility of which CPU it is. Allocating Receive buffers in the Receive completion handler guarantees that Receive buffers are allocated on the preferred NUMA node for that CQ.

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.
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.
