In some scenarios using Emulated-ISM device, sndbuf can share the same
physical memory region with peer DMB to avoid data copy from one side
to the other. In such case the sndbuf is only a descriptor that
describes the shared memory and does not actually occupy memory, it's
more like a ghost buffer.
+----------+ +----------+
| socket A | | socket B |
+----------+ +----------+
| |
+--------+ +--------+
| sndbuf | | DMB |
| desc | | desc |
+--------+ +--------+
| |
| +----v-----+
+--------------------------> memory |
+----------+
So here introduces three new SMC-D device operations to check if this
feature is supported by device, and to {attach|detach} ghost sndbuf to
peer DMB. For now only loopback-ism supports this.

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 reStructuredText 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.
