Hi all,
 
Here is v15 of the RTRS (former IBTRS) RDMA Transport Library and the
corresponding RNBD (former IBNBD) RDMA Network Block Device, which
fixes the issues in Makefile in V14 reported-by
the kbuild test robot (see changelog below). The patchset applies for
kernel v5.7-rc5.
 
Introduction
-------------
 
RTRS (RDMA Transport) is a reliable high speed transport library
which allows for establishing connection between client and server
machines via RDMA. It is based on RDMA-CM, so expect also to support RoCE
and iWARP, but we mainly tested in IB environment. It is optimized to
transfer (read/write) IO blocks in the sense that it follows the BIO
semantics of providing the possibility to either write data from a
scatter-gather list to the remote side or to request ("read") data
transfer from the remote side into a given set of buffers.
 
RTRS is multipath capable and provides I/O fail-over and load-balancing
functionality, i.e. in RTRS terminology, an RTRS path is a set of RDMA
connections and particular path is selected according to the load-balancing
policy. It can be used for other components beside RNBD.
 
Module parameter always_invalidate is introduced for the security problem
discussed in LPC RDMA MC 2019. When always_invalidate=Y, on the server side we
invalidate each rdma buffer before we hand it over to RNBD server and
then pass it to the block layer. A new rkey is generated and registered for the
buffer after it returns back from the block layer and RNBD server.
The new rkey is sent back to the client along with the IO result.
The procedure is the default behaviour of the driver. This invalidation and
registration on each IO causes performance drop of up to 20%. A user of the
driver may choose to load the modules with this mechanism switched off
(always_invalidate=N), if he understands and can take the risk of a malicious
client being able to corrupt memory of a server it is connected to. This might
be a reasonable option in a scenario where all the clients and all the servers
are located within a secure datacenter.
 
RNBD (RDMA Network Block Device) is a pair of kernel modules
(client and server) that allow for remote access of a block device on
the server over RTRS protocol. After being mapped, the remote block
devices can be accessed on the client side as local block devices.
Internally RNBD uses RTRS as an RDMA transport library.
 
Commits for kernel can be found here:
   https://github.com/ionos-enterprise/ibnbd/commits/linux-5.7-rc5-ibnbd-v15
 
Testing
-------
 
All the changes have been tested with our regression testsuite in our staging environment
in IONOS data center. it's around 200 testcases, for both always_invalidate=N and
always_invalidate=Y configurations.

Hi Jens,

we've fixed the kbuild cross-compile problem identified for our
patches for 5.7-rc4. The block part has been reviewed by Bart van
Assche (thanks a lot Bart), we also replaced idr by xarray there as
Jason suggested. You planned to queue us
for 5.7: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg88472.html. Could
you please give Jason an OK to take this through the rdma tree, see
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg91400.html?

Thank you,
Danil.

My main worry isn't the current state of it, it's more how it's going
to be handled going forward. If you're definitely going to maintain
the upstream code in a suitable fashion, and not maintain an on-the-side
version that you push to clients, then I'm fine with it going upstream
and you can add my acked-by to the block part of the series.

But maintaining the upstream version as the canonical version is key
here.

Hi Jens,

Thank you very much for your reply.  As mentioned in the past, we are
committed to maintaining the code once
it's in upstream,  we tried hard to make sure the upstream version is
compatible with our in house version, so
we can switch to the upstream version in the future, the main
difference is the driver name/sysfs, we have to adapt
other in house tools which use the old "ibnbd/ibtrs" names to new
"rnbd/rtrs" names, it will take a bit time, but it will
happen for sure.

And we will follow the upstream process to push RNBD/RTRS further.

Regards!
Jack Wang

Thanks a lot for your reply. We only do maintain the upstream code: we
have an extra compatibility layer which allows us to compile this code
for older kernels still in use in our production and we plan
to continue to do so in the future.
The only real difference of this code to the one running in our production
right now is the name of the driver: it is still "ibnbd" instead of current rnbd
but we will switch to it for the new kernels and also for the older kernels as
soon as our internal provisioning and monitoring infrastructure is prepared.

@Jason Should I resent you the patchset with Acked-By Jens added?

I don't particularly enjoy having another ULP for a single use case,
but I think Ionos has shown commitment to use and maintain this, so
lets go ahead.

Applied to for-next, with Jen's ack for the block part

There will be probably be a stream of complaints from linux next in
the next weeks or so. Remember the merge window is probably in 2
weeks, so deal with them promptly please.

Thanks,
Jason
