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.

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.
