  SRU Justification:
  ==

  [Impact]

  * Connections from later-level SMC (protocol) versions to an SMC-
  enabled server on Linux hang.

  * Later-level versions of SMC (although backwards-compatible) present
  a higher version number and use larger messages during the CLC
  handshake.

  * The solution to avoid such hangs is to introduce toleration for
  later version numbers, and support CLC messages of arbitrary length.

  [Fix]

  * fb4f79264c0fc6fd5a68ffe3e31bfff97311e1f1 fb4f79264c0f "net/smc:
  tolerate future SMCD versions"

  [Test Case]

  * Requires two IBM z13/z13s GA2 or LinuxONE Rockhopper/Emperor systems
  with RoCE Express adapter v2(.1) for SMC-D usage.

  * One system needs to run the initial SMC-D version, the other a newer
  version.

  * Establish a connection between both system and monitor/verify if
  it's reliable or if it hangs.

  [Regression Potential]

  * The regression can be considered as medium to low:

  * Since SMC-D is a pretty special way of doing shared memory
  communications and not that wide-spread.

  * However, the code that is changed is common code.

  * But the patch is straight forward and only modifies
  /net/smc/smc_clc.c and /net/smc/smc_clc.h

  * It largely bumps limits (allows larger messages), adds a check and
  introduces toleration, rather than changing control or flow.

  [Other]

  * The above fix is currently in 'linux-next' and tagged with
  next-20200709.

  * It is still assumed that it gets accepted for 5.8.

  * However, since this is not guaranteed this SRU request is for focal
  and groovy - to make sure that no potential regressions are introduced
  in case the patch will not end up in 5.8.

The patch was posted upstream, see 
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg666808.html, and accepted by Dave 
Miller. I just checked his net-next tree, didn't see it there yet, but I would 
assume it will appear there soon.

As I wrote in a previous comment, it's not so much a question 'if' we can post 
it upstream, but rather 'at which time': We assume that we get a lot of 
resistance upstream if we post any code for v2 in absence of an RFC right now, 
plus we cannot talk about v2 yet for legal reasons yet.
Once a new IETF RFC detailing v2 is out, we can post our full implementation of 
v2 upstream, and these patches will be part of that effort.

That's a very valid question.
The problem is that we cannot talk about v2 yet for legal reasons. We're 
pending some internal processing and especially a new RFC on v2. We assume that 
we get a lot of resistance upstream if we post any code for v2 in absence of an 
RFC.

Title:
  [UBUNTU 20.04] smc: SMC connections hang with later-level
  implementations

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in linux source package in Focal:
  New

Bug description:
  Description:   smc: SMC connections hang with later-level implementations
  Symptom:   Connections from later-level SMC versions to an SMC-enabled
 server on Linux hang.
  Problem:   Later-level versions of SMC present, although backwards-
 compatible, a higher version number, and use larger messages
 during the CLC handshake.
  Solution:  Adjust for tolerating later version numbers, and support CLC
 messages of arbitrary length.
  Reproduction:  Enable a server on Linux for SMC, and connect using a later-
 level version of SMC

  Applicable for: Ubuntu 20.04

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1882088] Comment bridged from LTC Bugzilla

Note: This patch is currently not upstream. It will be part of the full SMC-D 
v2 implementation (see LP1853291), and was successfully tested with a reference 
implementation. However, we still have some way to go with our SMC-D v2 code, 
yet other providers of SMC-D v2 implementations asked us to ship this 
toleration patch early, so that users have a chance to have their systems up to 
date by the time they deliver their versions.
