This patch attempts to remove locks named smc_client_lgr_pending and
smc_server_lgr_pending, which aim to serialize the creation of link
group. However, once link group existed already, those locks are
meaningless, worse still, they make incoming connections have to be
queued one after the other.
Now, the creation of link group is no longer generated by competition,
but allocated through following strategy.
Hi, all
I have noticed that there may be some difficulties in the advancement of
this series of patches.
I guess the main problem is to try remove the global lock in this patch,
the risks of removing locks
do harm to SMC-D, at the same time, this patch of removing locks is also
a little too complex.
So, I am considering that we can temporarily delay the advancement of
this patch. We can works on
other patches first. Other patches are either simple enough or have no
obvious impact on SMC-D.
What do you think?
Best wishes.

Hi D. Wythe,
that sounds good. Thank you for your consideration about SMC-D!
Removing locks is indeed a big issue, those patches make us difficult to
accept without thoroughly testing in every corner.
