Hi Hannes,

Implement NVMe-oF In-Band authentication according to NVMe TPAR 8006.
This patch adds two new fabric options 'dhchap_secret' to specify the
pre-shared key (in ASCII respresentation according to NVMe 2.0 section
8.13.5.8 'Secret representation') and 'dhchap_ctrl_secret' to specify
the pre-shared controller key for bi-directional authentication of both
the host and the controller.
Re-authentication can be triggered by writing the PSK into the new
controller sysfs attribute 'dhchap_secret' or 'dhchap_ctrl_secret'.

Can you please add to commit log an example of the process ?

 From target configuration through the 'nvme connect' cmd.



Please check:

That contains the blktest scripts I'm using to validate the implementation.

blktest is great but for features in this magnitude I think we need to add a simple usage example in the commit log or in the cover letter.

for someone that is not familiar with blktests, one should start reverse engineering 4000 LOC to use it.


Right.
Essentially it boils down to this:

nvme gen-dhchap-key > host_key.txt
nvme gen-dhchap-key > target_key.txt
mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nvmet/hosts/<hostnqn>
cd /sys/kernel/config/nvmet/hosts/<hostnqn>
cat host_key.txt > dhchap_key
cat target_key.txt > dhchap_ctrl_key
<link 'hostnqn' to the target subsystem>

And then one the host you need to call

'nvme connect ... --dhchap-key=$(cat host_key)'

And things should work.

But I can put a more detailed description in the commit log.

Note, I'm waiting for Herbert Xu to merge his 'cryptodev' tree with upstream; once that's done I'll be submitting these patches.

Cheers,

Hannes
