====================
smc fixes from 2018-04-17 - v3
in the mean time we challenged the benefit of these CLC handshake
optimizations for the sockopts TCP_NODELAY and TCP_CORK.
We decided to give up on them for now, since SMC still works
properly without.
There is now version 3 of the patch series with patches 2-4 implementing
sockopts that require special handling in SMC.
Version 3 changes
* no deferring of setsockopts TCP_NODELAY and TCP_CORK anymore
* allow fallback for some sockopts eliminating SMC usage
* when setting TCP_NODELAY always enforce data transmission
(not only together with corked data)
Version 2 changes of Patch 2/4 (and 3/4):
* return error -EOPNOTSUPP for TCP_FASTOPEN sockopts
* fix a kernel_setsockopt() usage bug by switching parameter
variable from type "u8" to "int"
* add return code validation when calling kernel_setsockopt()
* propagate a setsockopt error on the internal CLC socket
to the SMC socket.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
