net/smc: reduce unnecessary blocking in smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs()
Unlike smc_buf_create() and smcr_buf_unuse(), smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs() is exclusive when assigned rmb_desc was not registered, although it can be executed in parallel when assigned rmb_desc was registered already and only performs read semtamics on it. Hence, we can not simply replace it with read semaphore. The idea here is that if the assigned rmb_desc was registered already, use read semaphore to protect the critical section, once the assigned rmb_desc was not registered, keep using keep write semaphore still to keep its exclusivity. Thanks to the reusable features of rmb_desc, which allows us to execute in parallel in most cases. Signed-off-by: D. Wythe <alibuda@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
