net/smc: Introduce TCP ULP support
This implements TCP ULP for SMC, helps applications to replace TCP with SMC protocol in place. And we use it to implement transparent replacement. This replaces original TCP sockets with SMC, reuse TCP as clcsock when calling setsockopt with TCP_ULP option, and without any overhead. To replace TCP sockets with SMC, there are two approaches: - use setsockopt() syscall with TCP_ULP option, if error, it would fallback to TCP. - use BPF prog with types BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE or others to replace transparently. BPF hooks some points in create socket, bind and others, users can inject their BPF logics without modifying their applications, and choose which connections should be replaced with SMC by calling setsockopt() in BPF prog, based on rules, such as TCP tuples, PID, cgroup, etc... BPF doesn't support calling setsockopt with TCP_ULP now, I will send the patches after this accepted. Signed-off-by: Tony Lu <tonylu@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
