Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/14] net/dibs: Define dibs loopback
Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2025 16:54:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250905145428.1962105-7-wintera@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250905145428.1962105-1-wintera@linux.ibm.com>
The first stage of loopback-ism was implemented as part of the
SMC module [1]. Now that we have the dibs layer, provide access to a
dibs_loopback device to all dibs clients.
This is the first step of moving loopback-ism from net/smc/smc_loopback.*
to net/dibs/dibs_loopback.*. One global structure lo_dev is allocated
and added to the dibs devices. Follow-on patches will move functionality.
Same as smc_loopback, dibs_loopback is provided by a config option.
Note that there is no way to dynamically add or remove the loopback
device. That could be a future improvement.
When moving code to net/dibs, replace ism_ prefix with dibs_ prefix.
As this is mostly a move of existing code, copyright and authors are
unchanged.
