[net-next,v3,01/10] net/smc: remove locks smc_client_lgr_pending and smc_server_lgr_pending

Commit Message

From: "D. Wythe" <[e-mail]>

This patch attempts to remove locks named smc_client_lgr_pending and
smc_server_lgr_pending, which aim to serialize the creation of link
group. However, once link group existed already, those locks are
meaningless, worse still, they make incoming connections have to be
queued one after the other.

Now, the creation of link group is no longer generated by competition,
but allocated through following strategy.

1. Try to find a suitable link group, if successd, current connection
is considered as NON first contact connection. ends.

2. Check the number of connections currently waiting for a suitable
link group to be created, if it is not less that the number of link
groups to be created multiplied by (SMC_RMBS_PER_LGR_MAX - 1), then
increase the number of link groups to be created, current connection
is considered as the first contact connection. ends.

3. Increase the number of connections currently waiting, and wait
for woken up.

4. Decrease the number of connections currently waiting, goto 1.

We wake up the connection that was put to sleep in stage 3 through
the SMC link state change event. Once the link moves out of the
SMC_LNK_ACTIVATING state, decrease the number of link groups to
be created, and then wake up at most (SMC_RMBS_PER_LGR_MAX - 1)
connections.
