Re: [PATCH net-next] net/smc: Introduce TCP ULP support

This implements TCP ULP for SMC, helps applications to replace TCP with

This replaces original TCP sockets with SMC, reuse TCP as clcsock when
calling setsockopt with TCP_ULP option, and without any overhead.

This looks very interesting. Can you provide a simple userspace example about 
how to use ULP with smc?

And how do you make sure that the in-band CLC handshake doesn't interfere with the
previous TCP traffic, is the idea to put some kind of protocol around it so both
sides 'know' when the protocol ended and the CLC handshake starts?
