In commit 48b6190a0042 ("net/smc: Limit SMC visits when handshake
workqueue congested"),
we introduce a mechanism to put constraint on SMC connections visit
according to the pressure of SMC handshake process.
At that time, we believed that controlling the feature through netlink
was sufficient. However, most people have realized now that netlink is
not convenient in container scenarios, and sysctl is a more suitable
approach.
Not blocking this patch, but could you please describe why/how NL is
less convenient? is possibly just a matter of lack of command line
tool to operate on NL? yaml to the rescue ;)

Hi Paolo,
Based on the information I've gathered, there are several aspects:
1. There is a lack of support for YAML on NL in popular products.
2. The infrastructure related to NLwas not yet sound enough. For
example, how to disable
settings for certain NL in container, while we can do it within sysctls.
Also, regular synchronization.
NL may be able to implement it (maybe via Yaml ), but it still be waiting
for support in popular products.
Best wishes,
D. Wythe
