Rdma write with inline flag when sending small packages,
whose length is shorter than the qp's max_inline_data, can
help reducing latency.
In my test environment, which are 2 VMs running on the same
physical host and whose NICs(ConnectX-4Lx) are working on
SR-IOV mode, qperf shows 0.5us-0.7us improvement in latency.
Test command:
server: smc_run taskset -c 1 qperf
client: smc_run taskset -c 1 qperf <server ip> -oo \
msg_size:1:2K:*2 -t 30 -vu tcp_lat
The results shown below:
msgsize before after
1B 11.2 us 10.6 us (-0.6 us)
2B 11.2 us 10.7 us (-0.5 us)
4B 11.3 us 10.7 us (-0.6 us)
8B 11.2 us 10.6 us (-0.6 us)

256B 11.2 us 11.2 us (0 us)
512B 11.4 us 11.3 us (-0.1 us)
1KB 11.4 us 11.5 us (0.1 us)
2KB 11.5 us 11.5 us (0 us)
