# 265566 07-May-2014 jimharris

MFC r263311:

nvme: Allocate all MSI resources up front so that we can fall back to
INTx if necessary.


# 265565 07-May-2014 jimharris

MFC r263310:

nvme: Close hole where nvd(4) would not be notified of all nvme(4)
instances if modules loaded during boot.


# 263273 17-Mar-2014 jimharris

MFC r254302:

Send a shutdown notification in the driver unload path, to ensure
notification gets sent in cases where system shuts down with driver
unloaded.

# 257590 03-Nov-2013 jimharris

MFC r256154:

Log and then disable asynchronous notification of persistent events after
they occur.

This prevents repeated notifications of the same event.

Status of these events may be viewed at any time by viewing the
SMART/Health Info Page using nvmecontrol, whether or not asynchronous
events notifications for those events are enabled. This log page can
be viewed using:

nvmecontrol logpage -p 2 <ctrlr id>

Future enhancements may re-enable these notifications on a periodic basis
so that if the notified condition persists, it will continue to be logged.

# 257587 03-Nov-2013 jimharris

MFC r256151:

Add driver-assisted striping for upcoming Intel NVMe controllers that can
benefit from it.

# 253297 12-Jul-2013 jimharris

MFC r253113:

Add comment explaining why CACHE_LINE_SIZE is defined in nvme_private.h
if not already defined elsewhere.

Approved by: re (kib)


# 253296 12-Jul-2013 jimharris

MFC r253112:

Update copyright dates.

Approved by: re (kib)


# 252666 03-Jul-2013 jimharris

MFC r252273:

Remove remaining uio-related code.

The nvme_physio() function was removed quite a while ago, which was the
only user of this uio-related code.

# 252664 03-Jul-2013 jimharris

MFC r252271:

Use MAXPHYS to specify the maximum I/O size for nvme(4).

Also allow admin commands to transfer up to this maximum I/O size, rather
than the artificial limit previously imposed. The larger I/O size is very
beneficial for upcoming firmware download support. This has the added
benefit of simplifying the code since both admin and I/O commands now use
the same maximum I/O size.

# 252221 25-Jun-2013 jimharris

MFC r240616, r240619, r240620:

Merge initial NVM Express (NVMe) commits to stable/9.

This only pulls the nvme(4), nvd(4) and nvmecontrol(8) code into stable/9.
A follow-up commit will link it into the build and merge all of the
additional commits made for NVMe over the last few months.

# 240616 17-Sep-2012 jimharris

This is the first of several commits which will add NVM Express (NVMe)
support to FreeBSD. A full description of the overall functionality
being added is below. nvmexpress.org defines NVM Express as "an optimized
register interface, command set and feature set fo PCI Express (PCIe)-based
Solid-State Drives (SSDs)."

This commit adds nvme(4) and nvd(4) driver source code and Makefiles
to the tree.

Full NVMe functionality description:
Add nvme(4) and nvd(4) drivers and nvmecontrol(8) for NVM Express (NVMe)
device support.

There will continue to be ongoing work on NVM Express support, but there
is more than enough to allow for evaluation of pre-production NVM Express
devices as well as soliciting feedback. Questions and feedback are welcome.

nvme(4) implements NVMe hardware abstraction and is a provider of NVMe
namespaces. The closest equivalent of an NVMe namespace is a SCSI LUN.
nvd(4) is an NVMe consumer, surfacing NVMe namespaces as GEOM disks.
nvmecontrol(8) is used for NVMe configuration and management.

The following are currently supported:
nvme(4)
- full mandatory NVM command set support
- per-CPU IO queues (enabled by default but configurable)
- per-queue sysctls for statistics and full command/completion queue
dumps for debugging
- registration API for NVMe namespace consumers
- I/O error handling (except for timeoutsee below)
- compilation switches for support back to stable-7

nvd(4)
- BIO_DELETE and BIO_FLUSH (if supported by controller)
- proper BIO_ORDERED handling

nvmecontrol(8)
- devlist: list NVMe controllers and their namespaces
- identify: display controller or namespace identify data in
human-readable or hex format
- perftest: quick and dirty performance test to measure raw
performance of NVMe device without userspace/physio/GEOM
overhead

The following are still work in progress and will be completed over the
next 3-6 months in rough priority order:
- complete man pages
- firmware download and activation
- asynchronous error requests
- command timeout error handling
- controller resets
- nvmecontrol(8) log page retrieval

This has been primarily tested on amd64, with light testing on i386. I
would be happy to provide assistance to anyone interested in porting
this to other architectures, but am not currently planning to do this
work myself. Big-endian and dmamap sync for command/completion queues
are the main areas that would need to be addressed.

The nvme(4) driver currently has references to Chatham, which is an
Intel-developed prototype board which is not fully spec compliant.
These references will all be removed over time.
