Hello blktests users,

As of today, software RDMA driver "siw" or "rdma_rxe" is used to run "nvme"
group with nvme_trtype=rdma or "srp" (scsi rdma protocol) group. Now it is
suggested to run the test groups with real RDMA hardware to run tests in
more realistic conditions. A GitHub pull request is under review to support
it [1]. If you are interested in, please take a look and comment.

When I wrote the SRP tests, my goal was to test the SRP initiator
driver, SRP target driver and dm-multipath drivers and also to allow
users who do not have RDMA hardware to run these tests. Running these
tests against a real RDMA adapter tests other functionality than block
layer code. I see this as a use case that falls outside the original
scope of the blktests test suite. Running NVMe tests against a real
storage array also falls outside the scope of testing block driver
functionality. I'm fine with adding this functionality but I hope that
it does not become a burden for blktests contributors who are not
interested in maintaining functionality that falls outside the original
scope of blktests.

Bart.
