[PATCH v4 0/2] nvme-tcp: allow setting per-queue io_cpu through sysfs

[Saravanan D]

On hosts that partition their CPUs after connect time, the connect
time io_cpu selection can land a queue's socket work on CPUs owned by
a different workload. This series lets a control plane set each
queue's io_cpu directly through sysfs.

The first patch adds a small common queue info that a transport embeds
in its queue structure, backing a transport neutral

  /sys/class/nvme/nvmeX/queues/<qid>/

directory under the controller device. The second patch has nvme-tcp
expose io_cpu and managed attributes there.

Changes since v3 [1]:
- Split into two patches and introduced the common queue info that
  Sagi proposed [2], named nvme_queue_info since the PCI driver
  already uses nvme_queue, as Nilay pointed out.
- Renamed the tcp_queues directory to queues so the ABI does not bake
  in the transport, as suggested by Nilay [3].
- Added the read-only managed attribute, 1 while io_cpu is driver
  managed and 0 once the user assigned it, as suggested by Nilay.
- io_cpu now accepts -1 or the string "unbound" to leave the socket
  work unbound, instead of restoring the connect time selection, as
  suggested by Sagi.
- A user assignment is tracked in the common queue info flags and
  still persists across reconnects, following Sagi's earlier guidance
  that io_cpu should not change on reconnect.
- The queue directories register once per controller lifetime and
  persist across reconnects, and the io_cpu accounting moved from the
  queue lock to a controller level lock since a write can now arrive
  while a queue is torn down.
- The io_cpu accounting now also covers a pin to a queue whose connect
  time pick did not bind a cpu, and the queue teardown clears any
  accounting left by a write racing the teardown.
