Building on the new in-kernel iSCSI initiator stack + released in &os; 10.0 and the recently added iSCSI offload + interface, Mellanox Technologies has developed iSCSI extensions for + RDMA (iSER) initiator support to enable efficient data movement + using the hardware offload capabilities of Mellanox's 10, 40, 56, + and 100 Gigabit Infiniband (IB)/Ethernet adapters.

+ +

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) has been shown to have a + great value for storage applications. RDMA infrastructure + provides benefits such as zero-copy, CPU offload, reliable + transport, fabric consolidation, and many more. The iSER protocol + eliminates some of the bottlenecks in the traditional iSCSI/TCP + stack, provides low latency and high throughput, and is well + suited for latency aware workloads.

+ +

This work includes a new ICL module that implements the + iSER initiator. The iSCSI stack is slightly modified to support + some extra features such as asynchronous IO completions, unmapped + data buffers, and data-transfer offloads. The user will be able + to choose iSER as the iSCSI transport with iscsictl.

+ +

The project is in the process of being merged to &os; + 11-CURRENT and is expected to ship with &os; 11.0.
