Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 3/3] net/smc: Fallback when handshake workqueue congested

From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@...ux.alibaba.com>

This patch intends to provide a mechanism to allow automatic fallback to
TCP according to the pressure of SMC handshake process. At present,
frequent visits will cause the incoming connections to be backlogged in
SMC handshake queue, raise the connections established time. Which is
quite unacceptable for those applications who base on short lived
connections.

It should be optional for applications that don't care about connection
established time. For now, this patch only provides the switch at the
compile time.

There are two ways to implement this mechanism:

1. Fallback when TCP established.
2. Fallback before TCP established.

In the first way, we need to wait and receive CLC messages that the
client will potentially send, and then actively reply with a decline
message, in a sense, which is also a sort of SMC handshake, affect the
connections established time on its way.

In the second way, the only problem is that we need to inject SMC logic
into TCP when it is about to reply the incoming SYN, since we already do
that, it's seems not a problem anymore. And advantage is obvious, few
additional processes are required to complete the fallback.

This patch use the second way.
