If SMC client and server connections are both established at the same time, smc_connect_rdma() cannot send a CLC confirm message while smc_listen_work() is waiting for one due to lock contention. This can result in timeouts in smc_clc_wait_msg() and failed SMC connections. In case of SMC-R, there are two types of LGRs (client and server LGRs) which can be protected by separate locks. So, this patch splits the LGR pending lock into two separate locks for client and server to avoid the locking issue for SMC-R.

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.
