[PATCH net-next 0/2] net/smc: transition to RDMA core CQ pooling

From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@linux.alibaba.com>
Date: 2026-05-28 08:48:27

This series transitions SMC-R completion handling to RDMA core CQ pooling
via the ib_cqe API. The new completion model improves scalability by
allowing per-link completion processing across multiple cores and enables
DIM-based interrupt moderation.

As a side effect, the increased concurrency can amplify contention for TX
slots on the shared wait queue. Patch 2 addresses this by switching TX slot
allocation from non-exclusive wait_event() to prepare_to_wait_exclusive(),
which avoids thundering-herd wakeups under contention.

Patch 1 replaces the global per-device CQ and manual tasklet polling model
with RDMA core CQ pooling.
Patch 2 reduces TX slot contention by using exclusive wait queue entries
during allocation.

Changes v1 -> v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260508063718.101622-1-alibuda@linux.alibaba.com/ (local)
1. remove unnecessary inline from static CQE init helpers.
2. Use ib_drain_qp() with +1 max_send_wr; 
3. Fix v2 state clearing.
4. Add re-check after schedule_timeout() to fix timeout/signal races.
