This patch set contributes a new version of the SoftiWarp
driver, as originally introduced to the list Oct 6th, 2017.
SoftiWarp (siw) implements the iWarp RDMA protocol over
kernel TCP sockets. The driver integrates with the
linux-rdma framework.
For this patch series, we aimed at fixing the main
obstacles, which prevented siw acceptance in the past:
1. siw now uses the recently extended rdma netlink protocol
for adding and removing siw devices. It became the
only way of managing siw devices.
2. The driver integrates with the currently reviewed
RDMA/IWPM patch series on introducing no port mapping
requirements. These patches as provided by Steve Wise
are a pre-requisit to run siw in an environment with
active iwpmd.
The code has the following known limitations:
1. Only IPv4 addresses are supported / no IPv6 support.
2. All previously flexible module parameters are translated
into const values as defined in siw_main.c. We propose
another extension of the netlink protocol to make those
driver parameters dynamically settable. Ideally, we would
distinguish between link specific and connection specific
parameters.
Currently, we would like to see the following parameters
settable:
o MPA peer-to-peer mode (boolean on/off)
o MPA CRC (boolean on/off)
o MPA CRC negotiation mode: accept different CRC setting
from peer (boolean on/off)
o TCP_NODELAY to control Nagle settings of TCP socket
(boolean on/off)
o MPA version (0, 1 or 2)
o Zerocopy to let TCP transmit out of application
buffers wr/o copying data (boolean on/off)
o GSO to select Generic Segementation Offload for
larger frames (one frame may span 1 .. n Ethernet
frames, if advertised by TCP socket)
In principle, all of those parameters could be controlled
per connection. At least, dynamically setting those per
device is highly desirable. Please let's agree on the
most clean solution for that.
We maintain a snapshot of the current code at
https://github.com/zrlio/softiwarp-for-linux-rdma.git
within branch 'siw-for-rdma-next-nvme-5.0'.
This branch is based on the rdma-next tree and additionally
includes the latest netlink and portmapper patches from
Steve Wise as well as the latest nvme-5.0 code changes from
git://git.infradead.org/nvme.git. We tested siw with
NVMeF host and target applications and therefor merged
with latest nvme development.
The matching siw user library is maintained at
https://github.com/zrlio/softiwarp-user-for-linux-rdma.git.
It is based on rdma-core, and extended with Steve's patches
to both rdma netlink and portmapper. The relevant branch
name is 'siw-for-rdma-next'.
As always, we'd highly appreciate your code review. Thanks
very much for your time.
Bernard
