nvme: depend on INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS

2018-06-20T19:01:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3af7a156bdc356946098e13180be66b6420619bf ] NVME_RDMA code depends on INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS provided symbols. So declare the kconfig dependency. This is necessary to allow for enabling INFINIBAND without INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS.

nvme: implement multipath access to nvme subsystems

2017-11-11T02:53:25+00:00

This patch adds native multipath support to the nvme driver. For each namespace we create only single block device node, which can be used to access that namespace through any of the controllers that refer to it. The gendisk for each controllers path to the name space still exists inside the kernel, but is hidden from userspace. The character device nodes are still available on a per-controller basis. A new link from the sysfs directory for the subsystem allows to find all controllers for a given subsystem. Currently we will always send I/O to the first available path, this will be changed once the NVMe Asynchronous Namespace Access (ANA) TP is ratified and implemented, at which point we will look at the ANA state for each namespace. Another possibility that was prototyped is to use the path that is closes to the submitting NUMA code, which will be mostly interesting for PCI, but might also be useful for RDMA or FC transports in the future. There is not plan to implement round robin or I/O service time path selectors, as those are not scalable with the performance rates provided by NVMe. The multipath device will go away once all paths to it disappear, any delay to keep it alive needs to be implemented at the controller level.

nvme: Remove SCSI translations

2017-06-28T14:14:13+00:00

The SCSI-to-NVMe translations were added to assist storage applications utilizing SG_IO transitioning to NVMe. It was always recommended, however, to use native NVMe for device management as too much is lost in translation and the maintenance burden in keeping this kludgey layer around has been neglected such that much of the translations are completely broken. This patch removes SG_IO handling from NVMe to avoid any confusion regarding maintenance support for this interface. The config option for NVMe SCSI emulation has been disabled by default since 4.5. The driver has supported native nvme user commands since the beginning, and native tooling is publicly available for use or as reference for anyone writing their own tools, so there's no excuse for hanging onto a broken crutch.

nvme-fabrics: Add host support for FC transport

2016-12-06T08:17:56+00:00

Implements the FC-NVME T11 definition of how nvme fabric capsules are performed on an FC fabric. Utilizes a lower-layer API to FC host adapters to send/receive FC-4 LS operations and FCP operations that comprise NVME over FC operation. The T11 definitions for FC-4 Link Services are implemented which create NVMeOF connections. Implements the hooks with blk-mq to then submit admin and io requests to the different connections.

nvme: make NVME_RDMA depend on BLOCK

2016-09-11T21:41:49+00:00

Commit aa71987472a9 ("nvme: fabrics drivers don't need the nvme-pci driver") removed the dependency on BLK_DEV_NVME, but the cdoe does depend on the block layer (which used to be an implicit dependency through BLK_DEV_NVME). Otherwise you get various errors from the kbuild test robot random config testing when that happens to hit a configuration with BLOCK device support disabled.

nvme-rdma: add a NVMe over Fabrics RDMA host driver

2016-07-08T14:38:49+00:00

This patch implements the RDMA host (initiator in SCSI speak) driver. It can be used to connect to remote NVMe over Fabrics controllers over Infiniband, RoCE or iWarp, and uses the existing NVMe core driver as well a the new fabrics library. To connect to all NVMe over Fabrics controller reachable on a given taget port using RDMA/CM use the following command: nvme connect-all -t rdma -a $IPADDR This requires the latest version of nvme-cli with Fabrics support.

nvme-fabrics: add a generic NVMe over Fabrics library

2016-07-05T17:28:16+00:00

The NVMe over Fabrics library provides an interface for both transports and the nvme core to handle fabrics specific commands and attributes independent of the underlying transport. In addition, the fabrics library adds a misc device interface that allow actually creating a fabrics controller, as we can't just autodiscover it like in the PCI case. The nvme-cli utility has been enhanced to use this interface to support fabric connect and discovery.
