We create a configfs attribute in each nvme-fabrics target port to
enable p2p memory use. When enabled, the port will only then use the
p2p memory if a p2p memory device can be found which is behind the
same switch as the RDMA port and all the block devices in use. If
the user enabled it an no devices are found, then the system will
silently fall back on using regular memory.
If appropriate, that port will allocate memory for the RDMA buffers
for queues from the p2pmem device falling back to system memory should
anything fail.
Nice.
Ideally, we'd want to use an NVME CMB buffer as p2p memory. This would
save an extra PCI transfer as the NVME card could just take the data
out of it's own memory. However, at this time, cards with CMB buffers
don't seem to be available.
Can you describe what would be the plan to have it when these devices
do come along? I'd say that p2p_dev needs to become a nvmet_ns reference
and not from nvmet_ctrl. Then, when cmb capable devices come along, the
ns can prefer to use its own cmb instead of locating a p2p_dev device?

I'd say that just skip it instead of failing it, in theory one can
connect nvme devices via p2p mem and expose other devices in the
same subsystem. The message would be pr_debug to reduce chattiness.

Given that p2p_client is in nvmet_req, I think it make sense
that the p2p_dev itself would also live there. In theory, nothing
is preventing FC from using it as well.
