This patch set attempts to optimize the parallelism of SMC-R connections,
mainly to reduce unnecessary blocking on locks, and to fix exceptions that
occur after thoses optimization.
Thank you again for your submission!
Let me give you a quick update from our side:
We tested your patches on top of the net-next kernel on our s390 systems. They did crash our systems. After verifying our environment we pulled console logs and now we can tell that there is indeed a problem with your patches regarding SMC-D. So please do not integrate this change as of right now. I'm going to do more in depth reviews of your patches but i need some time for them so here is a quick a description of the problem:
Sorry for the late reply, and thanks a lot for your comment.
I'm sorry for the low-level mistake. In the early design, I hoped that lnkc can also work on SMC-D,
but in later tests I found out that we don't have SMC-D environment to test, so I have to canceled this logic.
But dues to the rollback isn't thorough enough, leaving this issues, we are very sorry for that.
It is a SMC-D problem, that occurs while building up the connection. In smc_conn_create you set struct smc_lnk_cluster *lnkc = NULL. For the SMC-R path you do grab the pointer, for SMC-D that never happens. Still you are using this refernce for SMC-D => Crash. This problem can be reproduced using the SMC-D path. Here is an example console output:

I'm going to send the review for the first patch right away (which is the one causing the crash), so far I'm done with it. The others are going to follow. Maybe you can look over the problem and come up with a solution, otherwise we are going to decide if we want to look into it as soon as I'm done with the reviews. Thank you for your patience.
In the next revision, I will add additional judgment to protect the SMC-D environment,
thanks for your comments.
And Looking forward to your other comments, thanks again.
