Wen Gu says: ==================== net/smc: implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support The fourth edition of SMCv2 adds the SMC version 2.1 feature updates for SMC-Dv2 with virtual ISM. Virtual ISM are created and supported mainly by OS or hypervisor software, comparable to IBM ISM which is based on platform firmware or hardware. With the introduction of virtual ISM, SMCv2.1 makes some updates: - Introduce feature bitmask to indicate supplemental features. - Reserve a range of CHIDs for virtual ISM. - Support extended GIDs (128 bits) in CLC handshake. So this patch set aims to implement these updates in Linux kernel. And it acts as the first part of SMC-D virtual ISM extension & loopback-ism [1]. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/1695568613-125057-1-git-send-email-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/ v8->v7: - Patch #7: v7 mistakenly changed the type of gid_ext in smc_clc_msg_accept_confirm to u64 instead of __be64 as previous versions when fixing the rebase conflicts. So fix this mistake. v7->v6: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20231219084536.8158-1-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/ - Collect the Reviewed-by tag in v6; - Patch #3: redefine the struct smc_clc_msg_accept_confirm; - Patch #7: Because that the Patch #3 already adds '__packed' to smc_clc_msg_accept_confirm, so Patch #7 doesn't need to do the same thing. But this is a minor change, so I kept the 'Reviewed-by' tag. Other changes in previous versions but not yet acked: - Patch #1: Some minor changes in subject and fix the format issue (length exceeds 80 columns) compared to v3. - Patch #5: removes useless ini->feature_mask assignment in __smc_connect() and smc_listen_v2_check() compared to v4. - Patch #8: new added, compared to v3. v6->v5: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/1702371151-125258-1-git-send-email-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/ - Add 'Reviewed-by' label given in the previous versions: * Patch #4, #6, #9, #10 have nothing changed since v3; - Patch #2: * fix the format issue (Alignment should match open parenthesis) compared to v5; * remove useless clc->hdr.length assignment in smcr_clc_prep_confirm_accept() compared to v5; - Patch #3: new added compared to v5. - Patch #7: some minor changes like aclc_v2->aclc or clc_v2->clc compared to v5 due to the introduction of Patch #3. Since there were no major changes, I kept the 'Reviewed-by' label. Other changes in previous versions but not yet acked: - Patch #1: Some minor changes in subject and fix the format issue (length exceeds 80 columns) compared to v3. - Patch #5: removes useless ini->feature_mask assignment in __smc_connect() and smc_listen_v2_check() compared to v4. - Patch #8: new added, compared to v3. v5->v4: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/1702021259-41504-1-git-send-email-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/ - Patch #6: improve the comment of SMCD_CLC_MAX_V2_GID_ENTRIES; - Patch #4: remove useless ini->feature_mask assignment; v4->v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/1701920994-73705-1-git-send-email-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/ - Patch #6: use SMCD_CLC_MAX_V2_GID_ENTRIES to indicate the max gid entries in CLC proposal and using SMC_MAX_V2_ISM_DEVS to indicate the max devices to propose; - Patch #6: use i and i+1 in smc_find_ism_v2_device_serv(); - Patch #2: replace the large if-else block in smc_clc_send_confirm_accept() with 2 subfunctions; - Fix missing byte order conversion of GID and token in CLC handshake, which is in a separate patch sending to net: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/1701882157-87956-1-git-send-email-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/ - Patch #7: add extended GID in SMC-D lgr netlink attribute; v3->v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/1701343695-122657-1-git-send-email-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/ - Rename smc_clc_fill_fce as smc_clc_fill_fce_v2x; - Remove ISM_IDENT_MASK from drivers/s390/net/ism.h; - Add explicitly assigning 'false' to ism_v2_capable in ism_dev_init(); - Remove smc_ism_set_v2_capable() helper for now, and introduce it in later loopback-ism implementation; v2->v1: - Fix sparse complaint; - Rebase to the latest net-next; ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
