[RFC PATCH net-next v5 08/11] net/smc: add operations to merge sndbuf with peer DMB

From: Wen Gu
Date: Sun Mar 24 2024 - 09:58:57 EST


In some scenarios using Emulated-ISM device, sndbuf can share the same
physical memory region with peer DMB to avoid data copy from one side
to the other. In such case the sndbuf is only a descriptor that
describes the shared memory and does not actually occupy memory, it's
more like a ghost buffer.

+----------+ +----------+
| socket A | | socket B |
+----------+ +----------+
| |
+--------+ +--------+
| sndbuf | | DMB |
| desc | | desc |
+--------+ +--------+
| |
| +----v-----+
+--------------------------> memory |
+----------+

So here introduces three new SMC-D device operations to check if this
feature is supported by device, and to {attach|detach} ghost sndbuf to
peer DMB. For now only loopback-ism supports this.
