Currently, buffers are cleared when smc connections are created and buffers are reused. This slows down the speed of establishing new connections. In most cases, the applications want to establish connections as quickly as possible. This patch moves memset() from connection creation path to release and buffer unuse path, this trades off between speed of establishing and release. Test environments: - CPU Intel Xeon Platinum 8 core, mem 32 GiB, nic Mellanox CX4 - socket sndbuf / rcvbuf: 16384 / 131072 bytes - w/o first round, 5 rounds, avg, 100 conns batch per round - smc_buf_create() use bpftrace kprobe, introduces extra latency Latency benchmarks for smc_buf_create(): w/o patch : 19040.0 ns w/ patch : 1932.6 ns ratio : 10.2% (-89.8%) Latency benchmarks for socket create and connect: w/o patch : 143.3 us w/ patch : 102.2 us ratio : 71.3% (-28.7%) The latency of establishing connections is reduced by 28.7%.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
