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.
