This patch set adds the necessary infrastructure for the NVMe over Fabrics functionality and the NVMe over Fabrics library itself. First we add some needed parameters to NVMe request allocation such as flags (for reserved commands - connect and keep-alive), also support tag allocation of a given queue ID (for connect to be executed per-queue) and allow request to be queued at the head of the request queue (so reconnects can pass in flight I/O). Second, we add support for additional sysfs attributes that are needed or useful for the Fabrics driver. Third we add the NVMe over Fabrics related header definitions and the Fabrics library itself which is transport independent and handles Fabrics specific commands and variables. Last, we add support for periodic keep-alive mechanism which is mandatory for Fabrics. Changes from V1: - don't directly free host->opts on connect failure (Sagi) - blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx improvements (Ming and me) - keep alive should not use blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx (me) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
