====================
Introduce IPPROTO_SMC
This patch allows to create smc socket via AF_INET,
similar to the following code,
/* create v4 smc sock */
v4 = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_SMC);
/* create v6 smc sock */
v6 = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_SMC);
There are several reasons why we believe it is appropriate here:
1. For smc sockets, it actually use IPv4 (AF-INET) or IPv6 (AF-INET6)
address. There is no AF_SMC address at all.
2. Create smc socket in the AF_INET(6) path, which allows us to reuse
the infrastructure of AF_INET(6) path, such as common ebpf hooks.
Otherwise, smc have to implement it again in AF_SMC path. Such as:
1. Replace IPPROTO_TCP with IPPROTO_SMC in the socket() syscall
initiated by the user, without the use of LD-PRELOAD.
2. Select whether immediate fallback is required based on peer's port/ip
before connect().
A very significant result is that we can now use eBPF to implement smc_run
instead of LD_PRELOAD, who is completely ineffective in scenarios of static
linking.
Another potential value is that we are attempting to optimize the
performance of fallback socks, where merging socks is an important part,
and it relies on the creation of SMC sockets under the AF_INET path.

v2 -> v1:
- Code formatting, mainly including alignment and annotation repair.
- move inet_smc proto ops to inet_smc.c, avoiding af_smc.c becoming too bulky.
- Fix the issue where refactoring affects the initialization order.
- Fix compile warning (unused out_inet_prot) while CONFIG_IPV6 was not set.
v3 -> v2:
- Add Alibaba's copyright information to the newfile
v4 -> v3:
- Fix some spelling errors
- Align function naming style with smc_sock_init() to smc_sk_init()
- Reversing the order of the conditional checks on clcsock to make the code more intuitive
v5 -> v4:
- Fix some spelling errors
- Added comment, "/* CONFIG_IPV6 */", after the final #endif directive.
- Rename smc_inet.h and smc_inet.c to smc_inet.h and smc_inet.c
- Encapsulate the initialization and destruction of inet_smc in inet_smc.c,
rather than implementing it directly in af_smc.c.
- Remove useless header files in smc_inet.h
- Make smc_inet_prot_xxx and smc_inet_sock_init() to be static, since it's
only used in smc_inet.c
v6 -> v5:
- Wrapping lines to not exceed 80 characters
- Combine initialization and error handling of smc_inet6 into the same #if
macro block.
v7 -> v6:
- Modify the value of IPPROTO_SMC to 256 so that it does not affect IPPROTO-MAX
v8 -> v7:
- Remove useless declarations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
