Firstly, thanks for your detailed diagrams :-) And the original decision to use user-provided values rather than value/2 to follow the instructions of the socket manual [1]. SO_RCVBUF Sets or gets the maximum socket receive buffer in bytes. The kernel doubles this value (to allow space for bookkeeping overhead) when it is set using setsockopt(2), and this doubled value is returned by getsockopt(2). The default value is set by the /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default file, and the maximum allowed value is set by the /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max file. The minimum (doubled) value for this option is 256. [1] https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html The user of SMC should know that setsockopt() with SO_{RCV|SND}BUF will double the values in kernel, and getsockopt() will return the doubled values. So that they should use half of the values which are passed to setsockopt(). The original patch tries to make things easier in SMC and let user-space to handle them following the socket manual. > SMC historically decided to use the explicit value given by the user > to allocate the memory.

Yep, let back to the patch which introduced smc_{w|r}mem knobs, it's a trade-off to follow original logic of SMC, or follow the socket manual. We decides to follow the instruction of manuals in the end.
