Merge branch 'NVMeTCP-Offload-ULP'

Shai Malin says:

====================
NVMeTCP Offload ULP

With the goal of enabling a generic infrastructure that allows NVMe/TCP
offload devices like NICs to seamlessly plug into the NVMe-oF stack, this
patch series introduces the nvme-tcp-offload ULP host layer, which will
be a new transport type called "tcp-offload" and will serve as an
abstraction layer to work with vendor specific nvme-tcp offload drivers.

NVMeTCP offload is a full offload of the NVMeTCP protocol, this includes
both the TCP level and the NVMeTCP level.

The nvme-tcp-offload transport can co-exist with the existing tcp and
other transports. The tcp offload was designed so that stack changes are
kept to a bare minimum: only registering new transports.
All other APIs, ops etc. are identical to the regular tcp transport.
Representing the TCP offload as a new transport allows clear and manageable
differentiation between the connections which should use the offload path
and those that are not offloaded (even on the same device).

The nvme-tcp-offload layers and API compared to nvme-tcp and nvme-rdma:

* NVMe layer: *

Performance:
============
With this implementation on top of the Marvell qedn driver (using the
Marvell FastLinQ NIC), we were able to demonstrate the following CPU
utilization improvement:

On AMD EPYC 7402, 2.80GHz, 28 cores:
- For 16K queued read IOs, 16jobs, 4qd (50Gbps line rate):
Improved the CPU utilization from 15.1% with NVMeTCP SW to 4.7% with
NVMeTCP offload.

On Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5122 CPU, 3.60GHz, 16 cores:
- For 512K queued read IOs, 16jobs, 4qd (25Gbps line rate):
Improved the CPU utilization from 16.3% with NVMeTCP SW to 1.1% with
NVMeTCP offload.

In addition, we were able to demonstrate the following latency improvement:
- For 200K read IOPS (16 jobs, 16 qd, with fio rate limiter):
Improved the average latency from 105 usec with NVMeTCP SW to 39 usec
with NVMeTCP offload.

Improved the 99.99 tail latency from 570 usec with NVMeTCP SW to 91 usec
with NVMeTCP offload.

The end-to-end offload latency was measured from fio while running against
back end of null device.

Upstream plan:
==============
The RFC series "NVMeTCP Offload ULP and QEDN Device Driver"
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210531225222.16992-1-smalin@marvell.com/
was designed in a modular way so that part 1 (nvme-tcp-offload) and
part 2 (qed) are independent and part 3 (qedn) depends on both parts 1+2.

- Part 1 (RFC patch 1-8): NVMeTCP Offload ULP
The nvme-tcp-offload patches, will be sent to
'linux-nvme@lists.infradead.org'.

- Part 2 (RFC patches 9-15): QED NVMeTCP Offload
The qed infrastructure, will be sent to 'netdev@vger.kernel.org'.

Once part 1 and 2 are accepted:

- Part 3 (RFC patches 16-27): QEDN NVMeTCP Offload
The qedn patches, will be sent to 'linux-nvme@lists.infradead.org'.

Marvell is fully committed to maintain, test, and address issues with
the new nvme-tcp-offload layer.

Usage:
======
With the Marvell NVMeTCP offload design, the network-device (qede) and the
offload-device (qedn) are paired on each port - Logically similar to the
RDMA model.
The user will interact with the network-device in order to configure
the ip/vlan. The NVMeTCP configuration is populated as part of the
nvme connect command.

Example:
Assign IP to the net-device (from any existing Linux tool):

ip addr add 100.100.0.101/24 dev p1p1

This IP will be used by both net-device (qede) and offload-device (qedn).

In order to connect from "sw" nvme-tcp through the net-device (qede):

nvme connect -t tcp -s 4420 -a 100.100.0.100 -n testnqn

In order to connect from "offload" nvme-tcp through the offload-device (qedn):

nvme connect -t tcp_offload -s 4420 -a 100.100.0.100 -n testnqn

An alternative approach, and as a future enhancement that will not impact this
series will be to modify nvme-cli with a new flag that will determine
if "-t tcp" should be the regular nvme-tcp (which will be the default)
or nvme-tcp-offload.
Exmaple:
nvme connect -t tcp -s 4420 -a 100.100.0.100 -n testnqn -[new flag]

Queue Initialization Design:
============================
The nvme-tcp-offload ULP module shall register with the existing
nvmf_transport_ops (.name = "tcp_offload"), nvme_ctrl_ops and blk_mq_ops.
The nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall register to nvme-tcp-offload ULP
with the following ops:
- claim_dev() - in order to resolve the route to the target according to
the paired net_dev.
- create_queue() - in order to create offloaded nvme-tcp queue.

The nvme-tcp-offload ULP module shall manage all the controller level
functionalities, call claim_dev and based on the return values shall call
the relevant module create_queue in order to create the admin queue and
the IO queues.

IO-path Design:
===============
The nvme-tcp-offload shall work at the IO-level - the nvme-tcp-offload
ULP module shall pass the request (the IO) to the nvme-tcp-offload vendor
driver and later, the nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver returns the request
completion (the IO completion).
No additional handling is needed in between; this design will reduce the
CPU utilization as we will describe below.

The nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall register to nvme-tcp-offload ULP
with the following IO-path ops:
- send_req() - in order to pass the request to the handling of the
offload driver that shall pass it to the vendor specific device.
- poll_queue()

Once the IO completes, the nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall call
command.done() that will invoke the nvme-tcp-offload ULP layer to
complete the request.

TCP events:
===========
The Marvell FastLinQ NIC HW engine handle all the TCP re-transmissions
and OOO events.

Teardown and errors:
====================
In case of NVMeTCP queue error the nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall
call the nvme_tcp_ofld_report_queue_err.
The nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall register to nvme-tcp-offload ULP
with the following teardown ops:
- drain_queue()
- destroy_queue()

The Marvell FastLinQ NIC HW engine:
====================================
The Marvell NIC HW engine is capable of offloading the entire TCP/IP
stack and managing up to 64K connections per PF, already implemented and
upstream use cases for this include iWARP (by the Marvell qedr driver)
and iSCSI (by the Marvell qedi driver).
In addition, the Marvell NIC HW engine offloads the NVMeTCP queue layer
and is able to manage the IO level also in case of TCP re-transmissions
and OOO events.
The HW engine enables direct data placement (including the data digest CRC
calculation and validation) and direct data transmission (including data
digest CRC calculation).

The Marvell qedn driver:
========================
The new driver will be added under "drivers/nvme/hw" and will be enabled
by the Kconfig "Marvell NVM Express over Fabrics TCP offload".
As part of the qedn init, the driver will register as a pci device driver
and will work with the Marvell fastlinQ NIC.
As part of the probe, the driver will register to the nvme_tcp_offload
(ULP) and to the qed module (qed_nvmetcp_ops) - similar to other
"qed_*_ops" which are used by the qede, qedr, qedf and qedi device
drivers.

nvmf_check_required_opts() is used to check if user provided opts has
the required_opts or not. if not, it will log which options are not

It can be leveraged by nvme-tcp-offload to check if provided opts are
supported by this specific vendor driver or not.

So expose nvmf_check_required_opts() globally.

Move NVMF_ALLOWED_OPTS and NVMF_REQUIRED_OPTS definitions
to header file, so it can be used by the different HW devices.

NVMeTCP offload devices might have different limitations of the
allowed options, for example, a device that does not support all the
queue types. With tcp and rdma, only the nvme-tcp and nvme-rdma layers
handle those attributes and the HW devices do not create any limitations
for the allowed options.

An alternative design could be to add separate fields in
nvme_tcp_ofld_ops such as max_hw_sectors and max_segments that
we already have in this series.

nvme-tcp: allow selecting the network interface for connections

In our application, we need a way to force TCP connections to go out a
specific IP interface instead of letting Linux select the interface
based on the routing tables.

Add the 'host-iface' option to allow specifying the interface to use.
When the option host-iface is specified, the driver uses the specified
interface to set the option SO_BINDTODEVICE on the TCP socket before
connecting.

This new option is needed in addtion to the existing host-traddr for
the following reasons:

Specifying an IP interface by its associated IP address is less
intuitive than specifying the actual interface name and, in some cases,
simply doesn't work. That's because the association between interfaces
and IP addresses is not predictable. IP addresses can be changed or can
change by themselves over time (e.g. DHCP). Interface names are
predictable [1] and will persist over time. Consider the following
configuration.

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state ...
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 100.0.0.100/24 scope global lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp0s3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc ...
link/ether 08:00:27:21:65:ec brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 100.0.0.100/24 scope global enp0s3
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: enp0s8: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc ...
link/ether 08:00:27:4f:95:5c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 100.0.0.100/24 scope global enp0s8
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

The above is a VM that I configured with the same IP address
(100.0.0.100) on all interfaces. Doing a reverse lookup to identify the
unique interface associated with 100.0.0.100 does not work here. And
this is why the option host_iface is required. I understand that the
above config does not represent a standard host system, but I'm using
this to prove a point: "We can never know how users will configure
their systems". By te way, The above configuration is perfectly fine
by Linux.

The current TCP implementation for host_traddr performs a
bind()-before-connect(). This is a common construct to set the source
IP address on a TCP socket before connecting. This has no effect on how
Linux selects the interface for the connection. That's because Linux
uses the Weak End System model as described in RFC1122 [2]. On the other
hand, setting the Source IP Address has benefits and should be supported
by linux-nvme. In fact, setting the Source IP Address is a mandatory
FedGov requirement (e.g. connection to a RADIUS/TACACS+ server).
Consider the following configuration.

$ ip addr list dev enp0s8
3: enp0s8: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc ...
link/ether 08:00:27:4f:95:5c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.56.101/24 brd 192.168.56.255 scope global enp0s8
valid_lft 426sec preferred_lft 426sec
inet 192.168.56.102/24 scope global secondary enp0s8
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet 192.168.56.103/24 scope global secondary enp0s8
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet 192.168.56.104/24 scope global secondary enp0s8
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Here we can see that several addresses are associated with interface
enp0s8. By default, Linux always selects the default IP address,
192.168.56.101, as the source address when connecting over interface
enp0s8. Some users, however, want the ability to specify a different
source address (e.g., 192.168.56.102, 192.168.56.103, ...). The option
host_traddr can be used as-is to perform this function.

In conclusion, I believe that we need 2 options for TCP connections.
One that can be used to specify an interface (host-iface). And one that
can be used to set the source address (host-traddr). Users should be
allowed to use one or the other, or both, or none. Of course, the
documentation for host_traddr will need some clarification. It should
state that when used for TCP connection, this option only sets the
source address. And the documentation for host_iface should say that
this option is only available for TCP connections.
