Hi all,
Here is v12 of the RTRS (former IBTRS) RDMA Transport Library and the
corresponding RNBD (former IBNBD) RDMA Network Block Device, which includes
changes to address comments from the community.
Introduction
-------------
RTRS (RDMA Transport) is a reliable high speed transport library
which allows for establishing connection between client and server
machines via RDMA. It is based on RDMA-CM, so expect also to support RoCE
and iWARP, but we mainly tested in IB environment. It is optimized to
transfer (read/write) IO blocks in the sense that it follows the BIO
semantics of providing the possibility to either write data from a
scatter-gather list to the remote side or to request ("read") data
transfer from the remote side into a given set of buffers.
RTRS is multipath capable and provides I/O fail-over and load-balancing
functionality, i.e. in RTRS terminology, an RTRS path is a set of RDMA
connections and particular path is selected according to the load-balancing
policy. It can be used for other components beside RNBD.
Module parameter always_invalidate is introduced for the security problem
discussed in LPC RDMA MC 2019. When always_invalidate=Y, on the server side we
invalidate each rdma buffer before we hand it over to RNBD server and
then pass it to the block layer. A new rkey is generated and registered for the
buffer after it returns back from the block layer and RNBD server.
The new rkey is sent back to the client along with the IO result.
The procedure is the default behaviour of the driver. This invalidation and
registration on each IO causes performance drop of up to 20%. A user of the
driver may choose to load the modules with this mechanism switched off
(always_invalidate=N), if he understands and can take the risk of a malicious
client being able to corrupt memory of a server it is connected to. This might
be a reasonable option in a scenario where all the clients and all the servers
are located within a secure datacenter.
RNBD (RDMA Network Block Device) is a pair of kernel modules
(client and server) that allow for remote access of a block device on
the server over RTRS protocol. After being mapped, the remote block
devices can be accessed on the client side as local block devices.
Internally RNBD uses RTRS as an RDMA transport library.

Testing
-------
All the changes have been tested with our regression testsuite in our staging environment
in IONOS data center. it's around 200 testcases, for both always_invalidate=N and
always_invalidate=Y configurations.
