Subject: [PATCH v3] nvme/tcp: handle tls partially sent records in write_space()
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2025 17:19:42 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251010071939.709063-4-wilfred.opensource@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Wilfred Mallawa <wilfred.mallawa@wdc.com>
With TLS enabled, records that are encrypted and appended to TLS TX
list can fail to see a retry if the underlying TCP socket is busy, for
example, hitting an EAGAIN from tcp_sendmsg_locked(). This is not known
to the NVMe TCP driver, as the TLS layer successfully generated a record.
Typically, the TLS write_space() callback would ensure such records are
retried, but in the NVMe TCP Host driver, write_space() invokes
nvme_tcp_write_space(). This causes a partially sent record in the TLS TX
list to timeout after not being retried.
This patch fixes the above by calling queue->write_space(), which calls
into the TLS layer to retry any pending records.
Fixes: be8e82caa685 ("nvme-tcp: enable TLS handshake upcall")
