Hi:
This series tries to improve the performance of SMC in datapath.
- patch #1, add sysctl interface to support tuning the behaviour of
SMC in container environment.
- patch #2/#3, add autocorking support which is very efficient for small
messages without trade-off for latency.
- patch #4, send directly on setting TCP_NODELAY, without wake up the
TX worker, this make it consistent with clearing TCP_CORK.
- patch #5, this correct the setting of RMB window update limit, so
we don't send CDC messages to update peer's RMB window too frequently
in some cases.
- patch #6, implemented something like NAPI in SMC, decrease the number
of hardirq when busy.
- patch #7, this moves TX work doing in the BH to the user context when
sock_lock is hold by user.
With this patchset applied, we can get a good performance gain:
- qperf tcp_bw test has shown a great improvement. Other benchmarks like
'netperf TCP_STREAM' or 'sockperf throughput' has similar result.
- In my testing environment, running qperf tcp_bw and tcp_lat, SMC behaves
better then TCP in most all message size.
Here are some test results with the following testing command:
client: smc_run taskset -c 1 qperf smc-server -oo msg_size:1:64K:*2 \
-t 30 -vu tcp_{bw|lat}
server: smc_run taskset -c 1 qperf

Test environment notes:
1. Testing is run on 2 VMs within the same physical host
2. The NIC is ConnectX-4Lx, using SRIOV, and passing through 2 VFs to the
2 VMs respectively.
3. To decrease jitter, VM's vCPU are binded to each physical CPU, and those
physical CPUs are all isolated using boot parameter `isolcpus=xxx`
4. The queue number are set to 1, and interrupt from the queue is binded to
CPU0 in the guest
