Re: [PATCH V6 6/9] isert: Rename IO functions to more descriptive names

2015-08-13 Thread Sagi Grimberg


Nic is silent...

Sagi, do you have an ETA on when you can have the recode ready for detailed 
review and test? If we can't make linux-4.3, can we be early in staging it for 
linux-4.4?


Hi Steve,

I have something, but its not remotely close to be submission ready.
This ended up being a rewrite of the registration path which is pretty
convoluted at the moment. My aim is mostly simplifying it in a way that
iWARP support would be (almost) straight-forward...

I can send you my WIP to test.

Sagi.

Sagi, do you have an ETA on when you can have the recode ready for detailed 
review and test? If we can't make linux-4.3, can we be early in staging it for 
linux-4.4?

Perhaps then we should go with my version that adds iwarp-only FRMR IO handlers

matures.  Thoughts?



Shall I send out the series again for merging into 4.3?


Hi Steve,

Not sure about that.. I'm a bit reluctant in adding a code that
branches the isert code even more than it already is.

Perhaps then we should go with my version that adds iwarp-only FRMR IO handlers 
for 4.3.  Then they can be phased out as the rework matures.  Thoughts?

I can test the iwarp parts once you think the code is ready to try.

Since Sagi is going to work on isert to support iwarp as part of his current 
isert large work, I'll drop the isert patches.  I also want to split up the 
max_sge_rd patches to their own submission.  So I will send out 2 new series 
for a final submission:

1) iser support for iwarp

2) use max_sge_rd and remove rdma_cap_read_multi_sge().

Steve.

Steve,

I've given this some thought and I think we should avoid splitting
logic from PI and iWARP. The reason (other than code duplication) is
that currently the iser target support only up to 1MB IOs. I have some
code (not done yet) to support larger IOs by using multiple
registrations  per IO (with or without PI).
With a little tweaking I think we can get iwarp to fit in too...

So, do you mind if I take a crack at it?


Sure, go ahead.  Let me know how I can help.  Certainly I can test it 
for you.  I'm very keen to get this in for 4.3 if possible...

yea.


IB only? iWARP by definition isn't capable of doing rdma_read to
more than one scatter? Anyway, we'll need to calculate the number
of RDMA_READs.



The wire protocol limits the destination to a single stg/to/len (aka 
rkey/addr/len).  Devices/fw/sw could implement some magic to support a 
single stg/to/len that maps to a scatter gather list of stags/tos/lens.


And you're ignoring invalidation wrs (or read-with-inv) in the

Good question,

On the wire iser sends a single rkey, but the target is allowed to
transfer the data however it wants to.

Say that the local target HCA supports only 32 pages (128K bytes for 4K
pages) registration and the initiator sent:
rkey=0x1234
address=0x
length=512K

The target would allocate a 512K buffer and:
register offset 0-128K to lkey=0x1
register offset 128K-256K to lkey=0x2
register offset 256K-384K to lkey=0x3
register offset 384K-512K to lkey=0x4

then constructs sg_list as:
sg_list[0] = {addr=buf, length=128K, lkey=0x1}
sg_list[1] = {addr=buf+128K, length=128K, lkey=0x2}
sg_list[2] = {addr=buf+256K, length=128K, lkey=0x3}
sg_list[3] = {addr=buf+384K, length=128K, lkey=0x4}

Then set rdma_read wr with:
rdma_r_wr.sg_list=&sg_list
rdma_r_wr.rdma.addr=0x
rdma_r_wr.rdma.rkey=0x1234

post_send(rdma_r_wr);

Ideally, the post contains a chain of all 4 registrations and the
rdma_read (and an opportunistic good scsi response).

So you're trying to get above the limit of a single RDMA READ, not
above the limit for memory registration in the initiator?


Correct.


 In that case your explanation makes sense, that's just not what I expected
to be the limiting factor.



In the initiator case, there is no way to support transfer size that
exceeds the device registration length capabilities (unless we start
using higher-order atomic allocations which we won't).
