With the goal of enabling a generic infrastructure that allows NVMe/TCP
offload devices like NICs to seamlessly plug into the NVMe-oF stack, this
patch series introduces the nvme-tcp-offload ULP host layer, which will
be a new transport type called "tcp-offload" and will serve as an 
abstraction layer to work with device specific nvme-tcp offload drivers.

NVMeTCP offload is a full offload of the NVMeTCP protocol, this includes 
both the TCP level and the NVMeTCP level.

The nvme-tcp-offload transport can co-exist with the existing tcp and 
other transports. The tcp offload was designed so that stack changes are 
kept to a bare minimum: only registering new transports.
All other APIs, ops etc. are identical to the regular tcp transport.
Representing the TCP offload as a new transport allows clear and manageable
differentiation between the connections which should use the offload path 
and those that are not offloaded (even on the same device).

The nvme-tcp-offload layers and API compared to nvme-tcp and nvme-rdma:

Upstream plan:
==============
As discussed in RFCV7, "NVMeTCP Offload ULP and QEDN Device Driver" 
contains 3 parts:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20210531225222.16992-1-smalin@marvell.com/

This series contains part1 and part3, intended for linux-nvme:
- Part 1: The nvme-tcp-offload patches
- Part 3: Marvell's Offload device driver(qedn) patches. 
          It has "compilation dependency" on both Part 1 and Part 2. 

Part 2 is already accepted in net-next.git:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git/commit/?id=eda1bc65b0dc1b03006e427430ba23746ec44714


Usage:
======
The user will interact with the network-device in order to configure 
the ip/vlan - Logically similar to the RDMA model.
The NVMeTCP configuration is populated as part of the 
nvme connect command.

Example:
Assign IP to the net-device (from any existing Linux tool):

    ip addr add 100.100.0.101/24 dev p1p1

This IP will be used by both net-device and offload-device.

In order to connect from "sw" nvme-tcp through the net-device:

    nvme connect -t tcp -s 4420 -a 100.100.0.100 -n testnqn

In order to connect from "offload" nvme-tcp through the offload-device:

    nvme connect -t tcp_offload -s 4420 -a 100.100.0.100 -n testnqn
	
An alternative approach, and as a future enhancement that will not impact this 
series will be to modify nvme-cli with a new flag that will determine 
if "-t tcp" should be the regular nvme-tcp (which will be the default) 
or nvme-tcp-offload.
Exmaple:
    nvme connect -t tcp -s 4420 -a 100.100.0.100 -n testnqn -[new flag]


Queue Initialization Design:
============================
The nvme-tcp-offload ULP module shall register with the existing 
nvmf_transport_ops (.name = "tcp_offload"), nvme_ctrl_ops and blk_mq_ops.
The nvme-tcp-offload driver shall register to nvme-tcp-offload ULP
with the following ops:
- claim_dev() - in order to resolve the route to the target according to
                the paired net_dev.
- create_queue() - in order to create offloaded nvme-tcp queue.

The nvme-tcp-offload ULP module shall manage all the controller level
functionalities, call claim_dev and based on the return values shall call
the relevant module create_queue in order to create the admin queue and
the IO queues.


IO-path Design:
===============
The nvme-tcp-offload shall work at the IO-level - the nvme-tcp-offload 
ULP module shall pass the request (the IO) to the nvme-tcp-offload 
driver and later, the nvme-tcp-offload driver returns the request
completion (the IO completion).
No additional handling is needed in between; this design will reduce the
CPU utilization as we will describe below.

The nvme-tcp-offload 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 offload device 
			   specific device.
- poll_queue()

Once the IO completes, the nvme-tcp-offload driver shall call 
command.done() that will invoke the nvme-tcp-offload ULP layer to
complete the request.


Teardown and errors:
====================
In case of NVMeTCP queue error the nvme-tcp-offload driver shall
call the nvme_tcp_ofld_report_queue_err.
The nvme-tcp-offload driver shall register to nvme-tcp-offload ULP
with the following teardown ops:
- drain_queue()
- destroy_queue()


The Marvell qedn driver:
========================
The new driver will be added under "drivers/nvme/hw" and will be enabled
by the Kconfig "Marvell NVM Express over Fabrics TCP offload".
As part of the qedn init, the driver will register as a pci device driver 
and will work with the Marvell fastlinQ NIC.
As part of the probe, the driver will register to the nvme_tcp_offload
(ULP) and to the qed module (qed_nvmetcp_ops) - similar to other
"qed_*_ops" which are used by the qede, qedr, qedf and qedi device
drivers.
