[RFC PATCH net-next v5 5/9] net/smc: Introduce an interface for getting DMB attribute

From: Wen Gu
Date: Sun Apr 23 2023 - 08:19:06 EST


On s390, since all OSs run on a kind of machine level hypervisor which
is a partitioning hypervisor without paging, the sndbufs and DMBs in
such case are unable to be mapped to the same physical memory.

However, in other scene, such as communication within the same OS instance
(loopback) or between guests of a paging hypervisor (eg. KVM), the sndbufs
and DMBs can be mapped to the same physical memory to avoid memory copy
from sndbufs to DMBs.

So this patch introduces an interface to smcd_ops for users to judge
whether DMB-map is available. And for reuse, the interface is designed
to return DMB attribute, not only mappability.
