This introduces a kind of Emulated-ISM device named loopback-ism for SMCv2.1. The loopback-ism device is currently exclusive for SMC usage, and aims to provide an SMC shortcut for sockets within the same kernel, leading to improved intra-OS traffic performance. Configuration of this feature is managed through the config SMC_LO.

SMC-R provides a "sockets over RDMA" solution making use of

RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) technology to upgrade

AF_INET TCP connections transparently.

The Linux implementation of the SMC-R solution is designed as

a separate socket family SMC.

SMC_LO enables the creation of an Emulated-ISM device named
|
|
loopback-ism in SMC and makes use of it for transferring data
|
|
when communication occurs within the same OS. This helps in
|
|
convenient testing of SMC-D since loopback-ism is independent
|
|
of architecture or hardware.
