When a new ib device is up smc will send an add link invitation to the peer if needed. This is currently done with rudimentary flow control. Under high workload these add link invitations can disturb other llc flows because they arrive unexpected. Fix this by integrating the invitations into the normal llc event flow and handle them as a flow. While at it, check for already assigned requests in the flow before the new add link request is assigned.

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.
