In this patch, we present the IO level functionality.
The nvme-tcp-offload shall work on the IO-level, meaning the
nvme-tcp-offload ULP module shall pass the request to the nvme-tcp-offload
vendor driver and shall expect for the request 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
The vendor driver will manage the context from which the request will be
executed and the request aggregations.
Once the IO completed, the nvme-tcp-offload vendor driver shall call
command.done() that shall invoke the nvme-tcp-offload ULP layer for
completing the request.
This patch also add support for the nvme-tcp-offload timeout and
nvme-tcp-offload ASYNC flow.
