In some scenarios a separate consumer cursor update is necessary.
The decision is made in smc_tx_consumer_cursor_update(). The
sender_free computation could be wrong:
The rx confirmed cursor is always smaller than or equal to the
rx producer cursor. The parameters in the smc_curs_diff() call
have to be exchanged, otherwise sender_free might even be negative.
And if more data arrives local_rx_ctrl.prod might be updated, enabling
a cursor difference between local_rx_ctrl.prod and rx confirmed cursor
larger than the RMB size. This case is not covered by smc_curs_diff().
Thus function smc_curs_diff_large() is introduced here.
If a recvmsg() is processed in parallel, local_tx_ctrl.cons might
change during smc_cdc_msg_send. Make sure rx_curs_confirmed is updated
with the actually sent local_tx_ctrl.cons value.

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.
