[PATCH net-next 00/18] net/smc: implement virtual ISM extension and loopback-ism
From: Wen Gu
Date: Tue Sep 19 2023 - 10:42:23 EST
Hi, all
# 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-simulated virtual ISM device,
such as loopback-ism device here, to accelerate inter-process or inter-containers
communication within the same OS.
# Design
This patch set includes 4 parts:
- Patch #1-#3: decouple ISM device hard code from SMC-D stack.
- Patch #4-#8: implement virtual ISM extension defined in SMCv2.1.
- Patch #9-#13: implement loopback-ism device.
- Patch #14-#18: memory copy optimization for the case using loopback.
The loopback-ism device is designed as a kernel 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) will find that peer
shares the same loopback-ism device during the CLC handshake. Then loopback-ism
device will be chosen.

loopback-ism device allocs RMBs and sndbufs for each connection peer and 'moves'
data from sndbuf at one end to RMB at the other end. Since communication occurs
within the same kernel, the sndbuf can be mapped to peer RMB so that the data
copy in loopback-ism case can be avoided.
