[PATCH v9 11/25] nvme-tcp: Add modparam to control the ULP offload enablement

Tue Jan 17 07:35:21 PST 2023


Add ulp_offload module parameter to the nvme-tcp module to control
ULP offload at the NVMe-TCP layer.

Turn ULP offload off be default, regardless of the NIC driver support.

Overall, in order to enable ULP offload:
- nvme-tcp ulp_offload modparam must be set to 1
- netdev->ulp_ddp_caps.active must have ULP_DDP_C_NVME_TCP and/or
  ULP_DDP_C_NVME_TCP_DDGST_RX capabilities flag set.
