Re: [RFC 3/8] nvmet: Use p2pmem in nvme target

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey Logan,

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.

What should we do if we have more than a single device that satisfies
this? I'd say that it would be better to have the user ask for a
specific device and fail it if it doesn't meet the above conditions...

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.

That's good :)

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.

Even if it was available, it would be hard to make real use of this
given that we wouldn't know how to pre-post recv buffers (for in-capsule
data). But let's leave this out of the scope entirely...

Why is all this done for each queue? looks completely redundant to me.

You seemed to skip the in-capsule buffers for p2pmem (inline_page), I'm
curious why?
