From: Jack Wang <jinpu.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This series introduces IBNBD/IBTRS kernel modules. IBNBD (InfiniBand network block device) allows for an RDMA transfer of block IO over InfiniBand network. The driver presents itself as a block device on client side and transmits the block requests in a zero-copy fashion to the server-side via InfiniBand. The server part of the driver converts the incoming buffers back into BIOs and hands them down to the underlying block device. As soon as IO responses come back from the drive, they are being transmitted back to the client. We design and implement this solution based on our need for Cloud Computing, the key features are: - High throughput and low latency due to: 1) Only two rdma messages per IO 2) Simplified client side server memory management 3) Eliminated SCSI sublayer - Simple configuration and handling 1) Server side is completely passive: volumes do not need to be explicitly exported 2) Only IB port GID and device path needed on client side to map a block device 3) A device can be remapped automatically i.e. after storage reboot - Pinning of IO-related processing to the CPU of the producer For usage please refer to Documentation/IBNBD.txt in later patch. My colleague Danil Kpnis presents IBNBD in Vault-2017 about our design/feature/ tradeoff/performance: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/IBNBD-Vault-2017.pdf The patchset is based on Linux 4.11-rc3. I've done functional tests with our tests framework on AMD64 machines with Mellanox CX-2 and CX-3. TODOs: - move some helpers to core - use new cq api, drain_cq etc - support poll callback in MQ - big endian machine support - better files layout We've learned a lot from other opensource project, namely SRP/SCST/LIO, etc, thanks all the contributors. We hope our IBNBD bring more value to the opensource world. A git tree is also avaiable at: https://github.com/xjtuwjp/linux-2.6/commits/ibnbdv0 As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.
