Hi Alexandra and Matthew,

Thank you very much for detailed description.

I tried to reproduce this with loopback-ism, cut some checks so that the remote-system
handshake can be done. After a while debug I found an elementary mistake of mine in
b40584d ("net/smc: compatible with 128-bits extended GID of virtual ISM device")..

The operator order in smcd_lgr_match() is not as expected. It will always return
'true' in remote-system case.

  static bool smcd_lgr_match(struct smc_link_group *lgr,
-                          struct smcd_dev *smcismdev, u64 peer_gid)
+                          struct smcd_dev *smcismdev,
+                          struct smcd_gid *peer_gid)
  {
-       return lgr->peer_gid == peer_gid && lgr->smcd == smcismdev;
+       return lgr->peer_gid.gid == peer_gid->gid && lgr->smcd == smcismdev &&
+               smc_ism_is_virtual(smcismdev) ?
+               (lgr->peer_gid.gid_ext == peer_gid->gid_ext) : 1;
  }

Could you please try again with this patch? to see if this is the root cause.
Really sorry for the inconvenience.
