directing soft iWARP traffic through a secure tunnel

Hi-

This might sound crazy, but bear with me.

The NFS community is starting to hold virtual interoperability testing
events to replace our in-person events that are not feasible due to
pandemic-related travel restrictions. I'm told other communities have
started doing the same.

The virtual event is being held on a private network that is set up
using OpenVPN across a large geographical area. I attach my test
systems to the VPN to access test systems run by others at other
companies.

We'd like to continue to include NFS/RDMA testing at these events.
This means either RoCEv2 or iWARP, since obviously we can't create
an ad hoc wide-area InfiniBand infrastructure.

Because the VPN is operating over long distances, we've decided to
start with iWARP. However, we are stumbling when it comes to directing
the siw driver's traffic onto the tun0 device:

[root@oracle-100 ~]# rdma link add siw0 type siw netdev tun0
error: Invalid argument
[root@oracle-100 ~]#

Has anyone else tried to do this, and what was the approach? Or does
siw not yet have this capability?

Thanks in advance.
