[RFC 3/8] nvmet: Use p2pmem in nvme target

Logan Gunthorpe logang at deltatee.com
Thu Mar 30 15:12:34 PDT 2017


We create a configfs attribute in each nvme-fabrics target port to
enable p2p memory use. When enabled, the port will only then use the
p2p memory if a p2p memory device can be found which is behind the
same switch as the RDMA port and all the block devices in use. If
the user enabled it an no devices are found, then the system will
silently fall back on using regular memory.

If appropriate, that port will allocate memory for the RDMA buffers
for queues from the p2pmem device falling back to system memory should
anything fail.

Ideally, we'd want to use an NVME CMB buffer as p2p memory. This would
save an extra PCI transfer as the NVME card could just take the data
out of it's own memory. However, at this time, cards with CMB buffers
don't seem to be available.
