I have resent this patch a few days ago with '[PATCH net-next]' prefix.
It contains more detailed function time-consuming and nginx test data.
You can find some test data in that email. :)

Let me summarize it here:
1. The function 'smc_buf_get_slot' takes less time when a new SMC link is established,
5us->100ns (when there are 200 active links), 30us->100ns (when there are 1000 active links).

2. Using wrk and nginx to test multi-threaded short connection performance
has significantly improved.

Environment: QEMU emulator version 1.5.3 @ Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz
Test with SMC loopback-ism.
