nvme-tcp: print actual source IP address through sysfs "address" attr
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.
