Wen Gu 4398888268 net/smc: add operations to merge sndbuf with peer DMB
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.

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 reStructuredText 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.
