Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH net-next v5 04/11] net/smc: implement some
unsupported operations of loopback-ism

Hi Wen,
I wonder if the these operations that are not supported by loopback-ism
should rather be marked "optional" in the struct smcd_ops, and the
calling code should call these only when they are implemented.
Of course this would mean more changes to net/smc/smc_core.c - but
loopback-ism could omit these "boiler-plate" functions.

Just a pattern that I saw elsewhere in the kernel...
Thanks,
