[PATCH v2 00/14] TCP transport binding for NVMe over Fabrics

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Changes from v1:
- unified skb_copy_datagram_iter and skb_copy_and_csum_datagram (and the
  new skb_hash_and_copy_datagram_iter) to a single code path
- removed nvmet modparam budgets (made them a define set to their default
  values)
- fixed nvme-tcp host chained r2t transfers reported off-list
- made .install_queue callout return nvme status code
- Added some review tags
- rebased on top of nvme-4.21 branch (nvme tree) + sqflow disable patches

This patch set implements the NVMe over Fabrics TCP host and the target
drivers. Now NVMe over Fabrics can run on every Ethernet port in the world.
The implementation conforms to NVMe over Fabrics 1.1 specification (which
will include already publicly available NVMe/TCP transport binding, TP 8000).

The host driver hooks into the NVMe host stack and implements the TCP
transport binding for NVMe over Fabrics. The NVMe over Fabrics TCP host
driver is responsible for establishing a NVMe/TCP connection, TCP event
and error handling and data-plane messaging and stream processing.

The target driver hooks into the NVMe target core stack and implements
the TCP transport binding. The NVMe over Fabrics target driver is
responsible for accepting and establishing NVMe/TCP connections, TCP
event and error handling, and data-plane messaging and stream processing.

The implementation of both the host and target are fairly simple and
straight-forward. Every NVMe queue is backed by a TCP socket that provides
us reliable, in-order delivery of fabrics capsules and/or data.

All NVMe queues are sharded over a private bound workqueue such that we
always have a single context handling the byte stream and we don't need
to worry about any locking/serialization. In addition, close attention
was paid to a completely non-blocking data plane to minimize context
switching and/or unforced scheduling.

I piggybacked nvme-cli patches to the set for completeness.

Also, @netdev mailing list is cc'd as this patch set contains generic
helpers for online digest calculation (patches 1-3).

The patchset structure:
- patches 1-6 are prep to add a helper for digest calculation online with data placement
- patches 7-11 are preparatory patches for NVMe/TCP
- patches 12-14 implements NVMe/TCP
- patches 15-17 are nvme-cli additions for NVMe/TCP

Thanks to the members of the Fabrics Linux Driver team that helped development,
testing and benchmarking this work.
