This patch set acts as the second part of the new version of [1] (The first
part can be referred from [2]), the updated things of this version are listed
at the end.

- 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-implemented Emulated-ISM device,
that is the loopback-ism device here, to accelerate inter-process or
inter-containers communication within the same OS instance.

- Design

This patch set includes 3 parts:

 - Patch #1-#2: some prepare work for loopback-ism.
 - Patch #3-#7: implement loopback-ism device. Noted that loopback-ism now
   serves only SMC and no userspace interface exposed.
 - Patch #10-#15: memory copy optimization for intra-OS scenario.

The loopback-ism device is designed as an ISMv2 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) can find the same
available loopback-ism and choose it during the CLC handshake.

loopback-ism device creates DMBs (shared memory) for each connection peer.
Since data transfer occurs within the same kernel, the sndbuf of each peer
is only a descriptor and point to the same memory region as peer DMB, so that
the data copy from sndbuf to peer DMB can be avoided in loopback-ism case.

Change log:

v3->v2:
- Patch #11: use tasklet_schedule(&conn->rx_tsklet) instead of smcd_cdc_rx_handler()
  to avoid possible recursive locking of conn->send_lock and use {read|write}_lock_bh()
  to acquire dmb_ht_lock.

v2->v1:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240307095536.29648-1-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/
- All the patches: changed the term virtual-ISM to Emulated-ISM as defined by SMCv2.1.
- Patch #3: optimized the description of SMC_LO config. Avoid exposing loopback-ism
  to sysfs and remove all the knobs until future definition clear.
- Patch #3: try to make lockdep happy by using read_lock_bh() in smc_lo_move_data().
- Patch #6: defaultly use physical contiguous DMB buffers.
- Patch #11: defaultly enable DMB no-copy for loopback-ism and free the DMB in
  unregister_dmb or detach_dmb when dmb_node->refcnt reaches 0, instead of using
  wait_event to keep waiting in unregister_dmb.

v1->RFC:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240111120036.109903-1-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/
- Patch #9: merge rx_bytes and tx_bytes as xfer_bytes statistics:
  /sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/xfer_bytes
- Patch #10: add support_dmb_nocopy operation to check if SMC-D device supports
  merging sndbuf with peer DMB.
- Patch #13 & #14: introduce loopback-ism device control of DMB memory type and
  control of whether to merge sndbuf and DMB. They can be respectively set by:
  /sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/dmb_type
  /sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/dmb_copy
  The motivation for these two control is that a performance bottleneck was
  found when using vzalloced DMB and sndbuf is merged with DMB, and there are
  many CPUs and CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is set [4]. The bottleneck is caused
  by the lock contention in vmap_area_lock [5] which is involved in memcpy_from_msg()
  or memcpy_to_msg(). Currently, Uladzislau Rezki is working on mitigating the
  vmap lock contention [6]. It has significant effects, but using virtual memory
  still has additional overhead compared to using physical memory.
  So this new version provides controls of dmb_type and dmb_copy to suit
  different scenarios.
- Some minor changes and comments improvements.

RFC->old version([1]):
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/1702214654-32069-1-git-send-email-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/
- Patch #1: improve the loopback-ism dump, it shows as follows now:
  # smcd d
  FID  Type  PCI-ID        PCHID  InUse  #LGs  PNET-ID
  0000 0     loopback-ism  ffff   No        0
- Patch #3: introduce the smc_ism_set_v2_capable() helper and set
  smc_ism_v2_capable when ISMv2 or virtual ISM is registered,
  regardless of whether there is already a device in smcd device list.
- Patch #3: loopback-ism will be added into /sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/.
- Patch #8: introduce the runtime switch /sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/active
  to activate or deactivate the loopback-ism.
- Patch #9: introduce the statistics of loopback-ism by
  /sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/{{tx|rx}_tytes|dmbs_cnt}.
- Some minor changes and comments improvements.
