[PATCH v2 0/5] implement nvmf read/write queue maps

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

 



This set implements read/write queue maps to nvmf (implemented in tcp
and rdma). We basically allow the users to pass in nr_write_queues
argument that will basically maps a separate set of queues to host
write I/O (or more correctly non-read I/O) and a set of queues to
hold read I/O (which is now controlled by the known nr_io_queues).

A patchset that restores nvme-rdma polling is in the pipe.
The polling is less trivial because:
1. we can find non I/O completions in the cq (i.e. memreg)
2. we need to start with non-polling for a sane connect and
   then switch to polling which is not trivial behind the
   cq API we use.

Note that read/write separation for rdma but especially tcp this can be
very clear win as we minimize the risk for head-of-queue blocking for
mixed workloads over a single tcp byte stream.

Changes from v1:
- simplified map_queues in nvme-tcp and nvme-rdma
- improved change logs
- collected review tags
- added nr-write-queues entry in nvme-cli docuementation

Sagi Grimberg (5):
  blk-mq-rdma: pass in queue map to blk_mq_rdma_map_queues
  nvme-fabrics: add missing nvmf_ctrl_options documentation
  nvme-fabrics: allow user to set nr_write_queues for separate queue
    maps
  nvme-tcp: support separate queue maps for read and write
  nvme-rdma: support separate queue maps for read and write
