Hi Wen Gu,
thanks for the updated patch. Please givr me some time to review and
test the latest version.
Thanks

- Background
SMC-D is now used in IBM z with ISM function to optimize network interconnect
for intra-CPC communications. Inspired by this, we try to make SMC-D available
on the non-s390 architecture through a software-implemented Emulated-ISM device,
that is the loopback-ism device here, to accelerate inter-process or
inter-containers communication within the same OS instance.
- Design
This patch set includes 3 parts:
- Patch #1-#2: some prepare work for loopback-ism.
- Patch #3-#7: implement loopback-ism device. Noted that loopback-ism now
serves only SMC and no userspace interface exposed.
- Patch #10-#15: memory copy optimization for intra-OS scenario.
The loopback-ism device is designed as an ISMv2 device and not be limited to
a specific net namespace, ends of both inter-process connection (1/1' in diagram
below) or inter-container connection (2/2' in diagram below) can find the same
available loopback-ism and choose it during the CLC handshake.

loopback-ism device creates DMBs (shared memory) for each connection peer.
Since data transfer occurs within the same kernel, the sndbuf of each peer
is only a descriptor and point to the same memory region as peer DMB, so that
the data copy from sndbuf to peer DMB can be avoided in loopback-ism case.

Change log:
v2->v1:
- All the patches: changed the term virtual-ISM to Emulated-ISM as defined by SMCv2.1.
- Patch #3: optimized the description of SMC_LO config. Avoid exposing loopback-ism
to sysfs and remove all the knobs until future definition clear.
- Patch #3: try to make lockdep happy by using read_lock_bh() in smc_lo_move_data().
- Patch #6: defaultly use physical contiguous DMB buffers.
- Patch #11: defaultly enable DMB no-copy for loopback-ism and free the DMB in
unregister_dmb or detach_dmb when dmb_node->refcnt reaches 0, instead of using
wait_event to keep waiting in unregister_dmb.
v1->RFC:
- Patch #9: merge rx_bytes and tx_bytes as xfer_bytes statistics:
/sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/xfer_bytes
- Patch #10: add support_dmb_nocopy operation to check if SMC-D device supports
merging sndbuf with peer DMB.
- Patch #13 & #14: introduce loopback-ism device control of DMB memory type and
control of whether to merge sndbuf and DMB. They can be respectively set by:
/sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/dmb_type
/sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/dmb_copy
The motivation for these two control is that a performance bottleneck was
found when using vzalloced DMB and sndbuf is merged with DMB, and there are
many CPUs and CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is set [4]. The bottleneck is caused
by the lock contention in vmap_area_lock [5] which is involved in memcpy_from_msg()
or memcpy_to_msg(). Currently, Uladzislau Rezki is working on mitigating the
vmap lock contention [6]. It has significant effects, but using virtual memory
still has additional overhead compared to using physical memory.
So this new version provides controls of dmb_type and dmb_copy to suit
different scenarios.
- Some minor changes and comments improvements.

- Patch #3: introduce the smc_ism_set_v2_capable() helper and set
smc_ism_v2_capable when ISMv2 or virtual ISM is registered,
regardless of whether there is already a device in smcd device list.

- Patch #8: introduce the runtime switch /sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/active
to activate or deactivate the loopback-ism.
- Patch #9: introduce the statistics of loopback-ism by
/sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/{{tx|rx}_tytes|dmbs_cnt}.
- Some minor changes and comments improvements.
