[PATCH 0/4] nvmet: add set feature based timestamp support

[Chaitanya Kulkarni]

This is a small patch-series which implements set-feature based
controller timestamp feature support for NVMeOF Target controller.
This allows host to set the timestamp using set feature and read it
with get feature commands when controllers are distributed across
 different systems. We return the value set with a Set Features
command for the current value plus the elapsed time since being set.
NVMe [1].

[PATCH 1/4] nvmet: use nvmet_feat_data_len consistently

[Chaitanya Kulkarni]

This is a preparation patch which makes admin-cmd.c to use newly added
nvmet_feat_data_len() helper consistently in nvmet_execute_set_features
and nvmet_execute_get_features when checking the data length.

[PATCH 3/4] nvmet: add support for get-feat-timestamp cmd

[Chaitanya Kulkarni]

This patch allows host to use get-features command to read the timestamp
value from target controller which is previously set.

We return the value set with a Set Features command for the current
value plus the elapsed time since being set. With that, we also set the
timestamp origin value to 001b (NVMExpress Revision 1.4 (Page 220)).

[PATCH 4/4] nvmet: update ctrl oncs values for timestamp

[Chaitanya Kulkarni]

Now that we support the timestamp feature, update controller ONCS
field so that host driver can set timestamp from
nvme_init_identify() -> nvme_configure_timestamp().

Patch 1 looks good.

The last three ought to be a single patch IMO since those should really
from an inseparable package deal for this feature.

My only comment on the implementation is you need to initialize nvmet_ctrl
'ts' and 'local_ts' on each reset so that we have correct values to
report in case the host never sets the timestamp.

As to why we'd support this feature, the spec says "The use of the
Timestamp is outside the scope of this specification". Is there anything
interesting we can do with this?

Agreed.

I can't really think of why this is useful either..

Agree, just made series into small chunks so that it will be easier
for a reviewer to go through changes in a botttom up manner.

If a host is dealing with different controllers which are on a different
machines it will be easier to sync timestamp and read it's value.

Although spec doesn't specify the right use, having this feature will
allow application(s) (if any) to use it if needed.

Do we know why is that needed?

As of now I don't have an application which needs this ASAP.

When I was reading the host/core.c I found that we do set the
timestamp as a part of initializing the controller so it is nice to
have feature with a small code change which makes target controller
spec compliant.
