Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next v5 0/9] net/smc: Introduce SMC-D-based OS internal communication acceleration
Hi, all
# Background
The background and previous discussion can be referred from [1]~[3].
We found SMC-D can be used to accelerate OS internal communication, such as
loopback or between two containers within the same OS instance. So this patch
set provides a kind of SMC-D dummy device (we call it the SMC-D loopback device)
to emulate an ISM device, so that SMC-D can also be used on architectures
other than s390. The SMC-D loopback device are designed as a system global
device, visible to all containers.
# Design
This patch set basically follows the design of the previous version.
Patch #1/9 ~ #3/9 attempt to decouple ISM-related structures from the SMC-D
generalized code and extract some helpers to make SMC-D protocol compatible
with devices other than s390 ISM device.
Patch #4/9 introduces a kind of loopback device, which is defined as SMC-Dv2
device and designed to provide communication between SMC sockets on the same
OS instance.

+-------------------------------------------+
Patch #5/9 ~ #8/9 expand SMC-D protocol interface (smcd_ops) for scenarios where
SMC-D is used to communicate within VM (loopback here) or between VMs on the same
host (based on virtio-ism device, see [4]). What these scenarios have in common
is that the local sndbuf and peer RMB can be mapped to same physical memory region,
so the data copy between the local sndbuf and peer RMB can be omitted. Performance
improvement brought by this extension can be found in # Benchmark Test.

Patch #9/9 realizes the support of loopback device for the above-mentioned expanded
SMC-D protocol interface.

v5->v4
1. The loopback device generates SEID in the same way as the ISM devices when coexisting
with ISM devices and uses a default fixed SEID in other cases.
2. Ensure each DMB token of the same loopback device is unique.
3. Fixe a crash caused by setting smcd_ops->signal_event interface to NULL.
4. Fixe a compilation warning complained by kernel test rebot.
v4->v3
1. Rebase to the latest net-next;
2. Introduce SEID helper. SMC-D loopback will return SMCD_DEFAULT_V2_SEID. And if it
coexist with ISM device, the SEID of ISM device will overwrite SMCD_DEFAULT_V2_SEID
as smc_ism_v2_system_eid.
3. Won't remove dmb_node from hashtable until no sndbuf attaching to it.
Something postponed in this version
1. Hierarchy perference of SMC-D devices when loopback and ISM devices coexist, which
will be determinated after comparing the performance of loopback and ISM.
v3->v2
1. Adapt new generalized interface provided by [2];
2. Select loopback device through SMC-D v2 protocol;
3. Split the loopback-related implementation and generic implementation into different
patches more reasonably.
v1->v2
1. Fix some build WARNINGs complained by kernel test rebot
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@...el.com>
2. Add iperf3 test data.
