cb990a45d7f6eb6dc495d2226a3005b284a5ee4f - dibs: Define dibs loopback

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 13:04:52 +0200

dibs: Define dibs loopbackThe first stage of loopback-ism was implemented as part of theSMC module [1]. Now that we have the dibs layer, provide access to adibs_loopback device to all dibs clients.This is the first step of moving loopback-ism from net/smc/smc_loopback.*to drivers/dibs/dibs_loopback.*. One global structure lo_dev is allocatedand 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 loopbackdevice. That could be a future improvement.When moving code to drivers/dibs, replace ism_ prefix with dibs_ prefix.As this is mostly a move of existing code, copyright and authors areunchanged.Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240428060738.60843-1-guwen@linux.alibaba.com/ [1]Signed-off-by: Alexandra Winter Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250918110500.1731261-7-wintera@linux.ibm.comSigned-off-by: Paolo Abeni List of files: /linux/drivers/dibs/Kconfig
