TCP transport relies on the routing table to determine which source address and interface to use when making a connection. Currently, there is no way to tell from userspace where a connection was made. This patch exposes the actual source address using a new field named "src_addr=" in the "address" attribute. This is needed to diagnose and identify connectivity issues. With the source address we can infer the interface associated with each connection. This was tested with nvme-cli 2.0 to verify it does not have any adverse effect. The new "src_addr=" field will simply be displayed in the output of the "list-subsys" or "list -v" commands as shown here. $ nvme list-subsys nvme-subsys0 - NQN=nqn.2014-08.org.nvmexpress.discovery \ +- nvme0 tcp traddr=192.168.56.1,trsvcid=8009,src_addr=192.168.56.101 live Signed-off-by: Martin Belanger <martin.belanger@dell.com> Reviewed-by: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@grimberg.me> Reviewed-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni <kch@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
