Hi Christoph,

We have been posting SMC-R patches on netdev since 2015, there was never 
any secrecy about it. Still sorry for omitting linux-rdma, will include 
with future postings from now on. 
Of course, we are open to any further code reviews, so if you can point 
out specific issues, we will be happy to work with you to get them 
addressed!

Regards, Ursula
