[ Upstream commit bfc6c67ec2 ]
When using smc_pnet in SMC, it will only search the pnetid in the
base_ndev of the netdev hierarchy(both HW PNETID and User-defined
sw pnetid). This may not work for some scenarios when using SMC in
container on cloud environment.
In container, there have choices of different container network,
such as directly using host network, virtual network IPVLAN, veth,
etc. Different choices of container network have different netdev
hierarchy. Examples of netdev hierarchy show below. (eth0 and eth1
in host below is the netdev directly related to the physical device).

---------------------------------
netdev hierarchy if using veth
Due to some reasons, the eth1 in host is not RDMA attached netdevice,
pnetid is needed to map the eth1(in host) with RDMA device so that POD
can do SMC-R. Because the eth1(in host) is managed by CNI plugin(such
as Terway, network management plugin in container environment), and in
cloud environment the eth(in host) can dynamically be inserted by CNI
when POD create and dynamically be removed by CNI when POD destroy and
no POD related to the eth(in host) anymore. It is hard to config the
pnetid to the eth1(in host). But it is easy to config the pnetid to the
netdevice which can be seen in POD. When do SMC-R, both the container
directly using host network and the container using veth network can
successfully match the RDMA device, because the configured pnetid netdev
is a base_ndev. But the container using IPVLAN can not successfully
match the RDMA device and 0x03030000 fallback happens, because the
configured pnetid netdev is not a base_ndev. Additionally, if config
pnetid to the eth1(in host) also can not work for matching RDMA device
when using veth network and doing SMC-R in POD.
To resolve the problems list above, this patch extends to search user
-defined sw pnetid in the clc handshake ndev when no pnetid can be found
in the base_ndev, and the base_ndev take precedence over ndev for backward
compatibility. This patch also can unify the pnetid setup of different
network choices list above in container(Config user-defined sw pnetid in
the netdevice can be seen in POD).
