[PATCH 10/10] nvme: implement multipath access to nvme subsystems

Christoph Hellwig hch at lst.de
Wed Aug 23 10:58:15 PDT 2017


This patch adds initial multipath support to the nvme driver.  For each
namespace we create a new block device node, which can be used to access
that namespace through any of the controllers that refer to it.

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.

TODO: implement sysfs interfaces for the new subsystem and
subsystem-namespace object.  Unless we can come up with something
better than sysfs here..
