[v5,00/13] TCP transport binding for NVMe over Fabrics

Message

Sagi Grimberg Dec. 4, 2018, 1:52 a.m. UTC

This patch set implements the NVMe over Fabrics TCP host and the target
drivers. Now NVMe over Fabrics can run on every Ethernet port in the world.
The implementation conforms to NVMe over Fabrics 1.1 specification (which
will include already publicly available NVMe/TCP transport binding, TP 8000).

The host driver hooks into the NVMe host stack and implements the TCP
transport binding for NVMe over Fabrics. The NVMe over Fabrics TCP host
driver is responsible for establishing a NVMe/TCP connection, TCP event
and error handling and data-plane messaging and stream processing.

The target driver hooks into the NVMe target core stack and implements
the TCP transport binding. The NVMe over Fabrics target driver is
responsible for accepting and establishing NVMe/TCP connections, TCP
event and error handling, and data-plane messaging and stream processing.

The implementation of both the host and target are fairly simple and
straight-forward. Every NVMe queue is backed by a TCP socket that provides
us reliable, in-order delivery of fabrics capsules and/or data.

All NVMe queues are sharded over a private bound workqueue such that we
always have a single context handling the byte stream and we don't need
to worry about any locking/serialization. In addition, close attention
was paid to a completely non-blocking data plane to minimize context
switching and/or unforced scheduling.

Also, @netdev mailing list is cc'd as this patch set contains generic
helpers for online digest calculation (patches 1-3).

The patchset structure:
- patches 1-6 are prep to add a helper for digest calculation online
  with data placement
- patches 7-9 are preparatory patches for NVMe/TCP
- patches 10-13 implements NVMe/TCP

Thanks to the members of the Fabrics Linux Driver team that helped
development, testing and benchmarking this work.

Gitweb code is available at:

Changes from v4:
- Added acks from Dave Miller for relevant patches
- Fixed possible memory leak in nvmet-tcp error flow

Changes from v3:
- various changes based on comments from christoph
  - removed unused variables
  - united send/recv iter initialization
  - removed unneeded void * casting
  - fixed long lines
  - removed unneeded wrappers (nvme_tcp_free_tagset and friends)
  - remove null sgl setting
  - fixed socket callbacks naming
  - reworked nvmet-tcp send_list processing
- omitted nvme-cli patches as no changes were made to them and no negative
  feedback was accepted since v3

Changes from v2:
- fixed stupid missing symbol export for skb_copy_and_hash_datagram_iter 
- dropped patch that moved err_work and connect_work to nvme_ctrl
- fixed maxr2t icreq validation
- got rid of host and target send/recv context structures by moving
  the members directly to their parent structure along with some struct
  documentation
- removed bh disable when locking the queue lock
- moved definition in nvme-tcp.h to appropriate patch
- added patch to rework nvme-cli trtype handling for discovery log entries
  a bit
- rebased on top of nvme-4.21 branch
- cleaned up some checkpatch warnings
- collected review tags

Changes from v1:
- unified skb_copy_datagram_iter and skb_copy_and_csum_datagram (and the
  new skb_hash_and_copy_datagram_iter) to a single code path
- removed nvmet modparam budgets (made them a define set to their default
  values)
- fixed nvme-tcp host chained r2t transfers reported off-list
- made .install_queue callout return nvme status code
- Added some review tags
- rebased on top of nvme-4.21 branch (nvme tree) + sqflow disable patches
