 Receiving MADs
 
-  MADs are received using read().  The buffer passed to read() must be
-  large enough to hold at least one struct ib_user_mad.  For example:
+  MADs are received using read().  The receive side now supports
+  RMPP. The buffer passed to read() must be at least one
+  struct ib_user_mad + 256 bytes. For example:
 
-	struct ib_user_mad mad;
-	ret = read(fd, &mad, sizeof mad);
-	if (ret != sizeof mad)
+  If the buffer passed is not large enough to hold the received
+  MAD (RMPP), the errno is set to ENOSPC and the length of the
+  buffer needed is set in mad.length.
+
+  Example for normal MAD (non RMPP) reads:
+	struct ib_user_mad *mad;
+	mad = malloc(sizeof *mad + 256);
+	ret = read(fd, mad, sizeof *mad + 256);
+	if (ret != sizeof mad + 256) {
 		perror("read");
+		free(mad);
+	}
+
+  Example for RMPP reads:
+	struct ib_user_mad *mad;
+	mad = malloc(sizeof *mad + 256);
+	ret = read(fd, mad, sizeof *mad + 256);

   MADs are sent using write().  The agent ID for sending should be
