This introduces a kind of Emulated-ISM device named loopback-ism for SMCv2.1. The loopback-ism device is currently exclusive for SMC usage, and aims to provide an SMC shortcut for sockets within the same kernel, leading to improved intra-OS traffic performance. Configuration of this feature is managed through the config SMC_LO.

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.
