[.. ] It is difficult to review. The order should be: 1. ulp_ddp interface 2. nvme-tcp changes 3. mlx5e changes.. and this is exactly how the series is organized, for v6 we will drop the TX offload part and stick to completing the review on the RX offload part.quoted
Also even beyond grouping patches together I have 2 requests: 1. Please consolidate ddp routines under a single ifdef (also minimize the ifdef in call-sites).ok, will make an effort to be better in that respectquoted
2. When consolidating functions, try to do this as prep patches documenting in the change log that it is preparing to add ddp. Its difficult digesting both at times.to clarify, you would like patch #5 "nvme-tcp: Add DDP offload control path" to only add the call sites and if-not-deffed implementation for the added knobs: nvme_tcp_offload_socket nvme_tcp_unoffload_socket nvme_tcp_offload_limits nvme_tcp_resync_response and a 2nd patch to add the if-yes-deffed implementation? This makes sense, however IMHO repeating this prep exercise for the data-path patch (#6 "nvme-tcp: Add DDP data-path") doesn't seem to provide notable value b/c you will only see two call sites for the two added empty knobs: nvme_tcp_setup_ddp nvme_tcp_teardown_ddp but whatever you prefer, so.. let us know
I was more referring to routines that now grew the ddp path and changed in the same time like:
nvme_tcp_complete_request
not sure to follow on this one.. It's added on patch #6 "nvme-tcp: Add DDP data-path" and then used twice in the same patch replacing calls to nvme_try_complete_req and then to nvme_complete_rq -- so how want this be broken to prep/usage?
nvme_tcp_consume_skb
this routine was born due to the ddp_ prefix addition to the iov copy iter functions, which we are now removing due to feedback from Al
etc..
