I wonder: Do we really need to check for a partially assembled record, or wouldn't it be easier to call queue->write_space() every time here? We sure would end up with executing the callback more often, but if no data is present it shouldn't do any harm. IE just use if (nvme_tcp_queue_tls(queue) queue->write_space(sk);Hey Hannes, This was my initial approach, but I figured using tls_is_partially_sent_record() might be slightly more efficient. But if we think that's negligible, happy to go with this approach (omitting the partial record check).
Please do. Performance testing on NVMe-TCP is notoriously tricky, so for now we really should not assume anything here. And it's making the patch _vastly_ simpler, _and_ we don't have to involve the networking folks here. We have a similar patch for the data_ready() function in nvmet_tcp(), and that seemed to work, too. Nit: we don't unset the 'NOSPACE' flag there. Can you check if that's really required? And, if it is, fixup nvmet_tcp() to unset it? Or, if not, modify your patch to not clear it?
