This patch should definitely appear in the upstream kernel, because all Linux distributions will need it at some point. If IBM engineers are not allowed to post the patch, Frank (or I) can probably take care of it in upstream.

Problem: Later-level versions of SMC present, although backwards- compatible, a higher version number, and use larger messages during the CLC handshake. Solution: Adjust for tolerating later version numbers, and support CLC messages of arbitrary length. Reproduction: Enable a server on Linux for SMC, and connect using a later- level version of SMC Applicable for: Ubuntu 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1882088/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
