Hello Wen Gu,

I applied and built your patches and noticed some things that you may want to consider in the next version:

Series should be split up [2]

Several lines exceed 80 columns [1][3]

'git clang-format HEAD~18' finds several formatting issues.
	Maybe not all of them need to be fixed.

codespell *.patch
0006-net-smc-extend-GID-to-128bits-only-for-virtual-ISM-d.patch:7: protocal ==> protocol

With your patches applied I get some new warnings [4]:
Seems there are some ntoh conversions missing

When I installed the patches, I noticed that 

smcd info

showed an SEID, even though I had no ISM device --> good

smcd device

FID  Type  PCI-ID        PCHID  InUse  #LGs  PNET-ID
0000 0                   0000   Yes       2

This needs some improvements.., but I'm not sure what is the best way to display virtual smcd interfaces in the smc-tools.


I was able to do SMC transfers via the smcd-loopback feature :-D
