[PATCH 00/25 V4] Introduce new API for T10-PI offload

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

 



Hello Sagi, Christoph, Jason, Doug, Leon and Co

This patchset adds a new verbs API for T10-PI offload and
implementation for iSER initiator and iSER target (NVMe-oF/RDMA host side
was completed and will be sent on a different patchset).
This set starts with a few preparation commits to the RDMA/core layer.
It continues with introducing a new MR type IB_MR_TYPE_INTEGRITY.
Using this MR all the needed mappings will be done in the low level drivers
and not be visible to the ULP. Later patches implement the needed functionality
in the mlx5 layer. As suggested by Sagi, in the new API, the mlx5 driver
will allocate a single internal memory region for the UMR operation to
register both PI and data SG lists and it will look like:

    data start  meta start
    |           |
    -------------------------
    |d1|d2|d3|d4|m1|m2|m3|m4|
    -------------------------

The sig_mr stride block would be using the same lkey but different
offsets in it (offset 0 and offset d1+d2+d3+d4). The verbs layer will
use a special mr type that will describe everything and will replace
the old API, that enforce using 3 different memory regions (data_mr,
protection_mr, sig_mr) and their local invalidations. This will ease
the code in the ULP and will improve the abstraction of the HW (see
iSER code changes). 
The patchset contains also iSER initator patches that using this new API.

For iSER, the code was tested vs. LIO iSER target using Mellanox's
ConnectX-4/ConnectX-5.

This series applies cleanly on top of kernel 5.1.0 tag.
We should aim to push this code during the next merge window.
Linux fork with this series can be found at:
https://github.com/Mellanox/NVMEoF-P2P (t10_new_api_iser-5_1 branch).

Next steps are:
 - merge NVMe-oF/RDMA host side after merging this patchset
 - Implement metadata support for NVMe-oF/RDMA target side with new API

---------

 - If possibe, avoid doing a UMR operation to register data and
   protection buffers at patch 25/25
---------
Changes since v2:

 - Unwind WR union at iser_tx_desc (patch 16/18 - Christoph)
 - Rebase the code over kernel 5.0 plus 2 iser fixes
 - Added Reviewed-by signatures
---------
