Re: [PATCH 2/2] nvme-rdma: Add remote_invalidation module parameter

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

 



Idan,

NVMe over Fabrics in its secure "register_always" mode
registers and invalidates the user buffer upon each IO.
The protocol enables the host to request the susbsystem
to use SEND WITH INVALIDATE operation while returning the
response capsule and invalidate the local key
(remote_invalidation).
In some HW implementations, the local network adapter may
perform better while using local invalidation operations.

This is a device quirk and if you want to optimize for this
you need to expose it via verbs interface. We won't add a module
parameter for implementation specific stuff.

Note that we currently need to rework the case where we use local
invalidates and properly wait for them to complete.
