ib_srpt and session management ============================== The following actions related to SRP sessions can all occur concurrently: * The communication manager invokes either srpt_ib_cm_handler() or srpt_rdma_cm_handler(). * HCA driver invokes the queue pair (QP) completion handler srpt_completion(). * HCA driver invokes the QP async event handler srpt_qp_event(). * HCA transfers data between initiator and target via RDMA. * srpt_do_compl_work() polls the QP. * SCST core invokes one of the callback functions defined in srpt_template. The actions that occur over the lifetime of a session are as follows: - A REQ message is received from the initiator. - srpt_cm_req_recv() is invoked, allocates an I/O context ring and a queue pair and creates an SCST session. - If the connection request is not accepted, a REJ message is sent and srpt_close_ch() is invoked. The srpt_close_ch() call causes the allocated resources to be freed asynchronously. - If the connection request is accepted a REP message is sent to the initiator. - Once an RTU message is received from the initiator, srpt_cm_rtu_recv() is invoked. That function changes the queue pair state into RTS, the channel state into CH_LIVE and triggers processing of the wait list. - RDMA communication starts and continues until either a DREQ message is received or sent. A DREQ is sent either because a target port is disabled or because the SCST core requested to close the session. - After a DREQ has been sent either a DREP will be received or the TimeWait state will be reached. Both trigger a srpt_close_ch() call. - srpt_close_ch() changes the channel state into CH_DRAINING, the queue pair state into IB_QPS_ERR and queues a zero-length write. - Upon receipt of the zero-length write completion the channel state is changed into CH_DISCONNECTED. This is the last work completion so once the channel state has reached CH_DISCONNECTED it is guaranteed that the queue pair completion handler won't be invoked again. - scst_unregister_session() is called. - Once scst_unregister_session() has finished srpt_unreg_sess() is invoked. - srpt_unreg_sess() destroys the CM ID and decrements the channel refcount. - Once the channel refcount drops to zero srpt_free_ch() is invoked which frees the queue pair and other IB resources.
