Zhu Yanjun e0e6d06282 net: rds: add service level support in rds-info
>From IB specific 7.6.5 SERVICE LEVEL, Service Level (SL)
is used to identify different flows within an IBA subnet.
It is carried in the local route header of the packet.

Before this commit, run "rds-info -I". The outputs are as
below:
"
RDS IB Connections:
 LocalAddr  RemoteAddr Tos SL  LocalDev               RemoteDev
192.2.95.3  192.2.95.1  2   0  fe80::21:28:1a:39  fe80::21:28:10:b9

The commit fe3475af3b ("net: rds: add per rds connection cache
statistics") adds cache_allocs in struct rds_info_rdma_connection
as below:
struct rds_info_rdma_connection {
...
        __u32           rdma_mr_max;
        __u32           rdma_mr_size;
        __u8            tos;
        __u32           cache_allocs;
 };
The peer struct in rds-tools of struct rds_info_rdma_connection is as
below:
struct rds_info_rdma_connection {
...
        uint32_t        rdma_mr_max;
        uint32_t        rdma_mr_size;
        uint8_t         tos;
        uint8_t         sl;
        uint32_t        cache_allocs;
};
The difference between userspace and kernel is the member variable sl.
In the kernel struct, the member variable sl is missing. This will
introduce risks. So it is necessary to use this commit to avoid this risk.

README

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.
