5 | Description: Interface for making ib_srp connect to a new target. | ||
6 | One can request ib_srp to connect to a new target by writing | ||
7 | a comma-separated list of login parameters to this sysfs | ||
8 | attribute. The supported parameters are: | ||
9 | * id_ext, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the eight | ||
10 | byte identifier extension in the 16-byte SRP target port | ||
11 | identifier. The target port identifier is sent by ib_srp | ||
12 | to the target in the SRP_LOGIN_REQ request. | ||
13 | * ioc_guid, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the eight | ||
14 | byte I/O controller GUID portion of the 16-byte target port | ||
15 | identifier. | ||
16 | * dgid, a 32-digit hexadecimal number specifying the | ||
17 | destination GID. | ||
18 | * pkey, a four-digit hexadecimal number specifying the | ||
19 | InfiniBand partition key. | ||
20 | * service_id, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the | ||
21 | InfiniBand service ID used to establish communication with | ||
22 | the SRP target. How to find out the value of the service ID | ||
23 | is specified in the documentation of the SRP target. | ||
24 | * max_sect, a decimal number specifying the maximum number of | ||
25 | 512-byte sectors to be transferred via a single SCSI command. | ||
26 | * max_cmd_per_lun, a decimal number specifying the maximum | ||
27 | number of outstanding commands for a single LUN. | ||
28 | * io_class, a hexadecimal number specifying the SRP I/O class. | ||
29 | Must be either 0xff00 (rev 10) or 0x0100 (rev 16a). The I/O | ||
30 | class defines the format of the SRP initiator and target | ||
31 | port identifiers. | ||
32 | * initiator_ext, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the | ||
33 | identifier extension portion of the SRP initiator port | ||
34 | identifier. This data is sent by the initiator to the target | ||
35 | in the SRP_LOGIN_REQ request. | ||
36 | * cmd_sg_entries, a number in the range 1..255 that specifies | ||
37 | the maximum number of data buffer descriptors stored in the | ||
38 | SRP_CMD information unit itself. With allow_ext_sg=0 the | ||
39 | parameter cmd_sg_entries defines the maximum S/G list length | ||
40 | for a single SRP_CMD, and commands whose S/G list length | ||
41 | exceeds this limit after S/G list collapsing will fail. | ||
42 | * allow_ext_sg, whether ib_srp is allowed to include a partial | ||
43 | memory descriptor list in an SRP_CMD instead of the entire | ||
44 | list. If a partial memory descriptor list has been included | ||
45 | in an SRP_CMD the remaining memory descriptors are | ||
46 | communicated from initiator to target via an additional RDMA | ||
47 | transfer. Setting allow_ext_sg to 1 increases the maximum | ||
48 | amount of data that can be transferred between initiator and | ||
49 | target via a single SCSI command. Since not all SRP target | ||
50 | implementations support partial memory descriptor lists the | ||
51 | default value for this option is 0. | ||
52 | * sg_tablesize, a number in the range 1..2048 specifying the | ||
53 | maximum S/G list length the SCSI layer is allowed to pass to | ||
54 | ib_srp. Specifying a value that exceeds cmd_sg_entries is | ||
55 | only safe with partial memory descriptor list support enabled | ||
56 | (allow_ext_sg=1). | ||
