Subject: [PATCH 00/29] ibmvfc: Add NVMe-FC support
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 18:30:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623013035.3436640-1-tyreld@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
This patch series adds NVMe-FC protocol support to the ibmvfc driver,
enabling IBM POWER virtual Fibre Channel adapters to handle both SCSI
and NVMe storage traffic through a unified driver architecture.
The implementation leverages the existing multi-queue infrastructure
and extends the driver's protocol handling to support NVMe-FC alongside
traditional SCSI FCP. Key architectural changes include:
- Refactoring the driver into protocol-agnostic core (ibmvfc-core.c)
and protocol-specific modules (ibmvfc-nvme.c for NVMe-FC)
- Extending the target discovery and management state machine to handle
NVMe/FC targets with appropriate protocol-specific login sequences
- Implementing the nvme-fc LLDD (Low-Level Device Driver) callbacks for
queue management, command submission, and abort handling
- Adding support for NVMe-FC specific MAD (Management Adapter Data)
operations including target discovery, port login, process login,
and implicit logout/move login
- Implementing NVMe FCP and Link Services (LS) command submission and
abort paths using the existing sub-CRQ infrastructure
The series is organized to introduce changes incrementally:
Patches 1-8: Infrastructure and refactoring
- Move target lists to protocol-specific channel groups
- Split NVMe support into separate source file
- Add protocol interface definitions and helper functions
- Initialize NVMe channel configuration
Patches 9-16: NVMe/FC MAD operations and target management
- Implement discovery, port login, process login, query target
- Add target allocation based on protocol
- Update state machine for NVMe/FC target processing
- Handle NVMe/FC target deletion
Patches 17-20: Local and remote port registration
- Implement nvme-fc local port registration after fabric login
- Process NVMe/FC rports in work thread
- Extend debug visibility for NVMe components
Patches 21-26: LLDD callback implementation
- Implement queue mapping callbacks
- Add LS and FCP command submission paths
- Implement NVMe FCP and LS abort handling
Patches 27-29: Error handling and debugging
- Fail NVMe requests during transport reset
