[PATCH net-next 0/1] net/smc: Optimize rmbs/sndbufs lock

[liqiang]

This patch changes the global lock used by the buf_desc linked list
array in the smc link group to a smaller granularity, which can
reduce competition between links using different bufsizes and make
them perform better.

After applying this patch, the main scenarios that generate benefits
are as follows: multiple threads use different socket buffers
(sk->sk_sndbuf/sk_rcvbuf) to establish connections concurrently.

I constructed the above scenario and compared the performance of
socket buffer distribution in 4 sizes when multi-threaded in
parallel (tested using nginx/wrk):

On server:
smc_run nginx

On client:
smc_run wrk -t <2~128> -c 200 -H "Connection: close" http://127.0.0.1
