I believe that this patch handled the problem from the wrong side.
Instead of making ZFS properly handle large stripe sizes, it made
unrelated driver to lie in reported parameters to workaround that.
Alternative solution for this problem from ZFS side was committed at
r296615.
Discussed with: smh
The NVMe specification does not define a maximum or optimal delete
size, so technically max delete size is min(full size of namespace,
2^32 - 1 LBAs). A single delete operation for a multi-TB NVMe
namespace though may take much longer to complete than the nvme(4)
I/O timeout period. So choose a sensible default here that is still
suitably large to minimize the number of overall delete operations.
This also fixes possible uint32_t overflow on initial TRIM operation
for zpool create operations for NVMe namespaces with >4G LBAs.

This significantly improves parallelism in the most common case.
The taskqueue is still used whenever BIO_ORDERED bios are in flight.
This patch is based heavily on a patch from gallatin@.

This ensures the bio flags are not read after biodone().
The ordering will still be enforced, after the bio is
submitted successfully.

Still wait until all in-flight bios (including the ordered bio)
complete before processing more bios from the queue.

Intel NVMe controllers have a slow path for I/Os that span a 128KB stripe boundary but ZFS limits ashift, which is derived from d_stripesize, to 13 (8KB) so we limit the stripesize reported to geom(8) to 4KB.
This may result in a small number of additional I/Os to require splitting in nvme(4), however the NVMe I/O path is very efficient so these additional I/Os will cause very minimal (if any) difference in performance or CPU utilisation.
This can be controller by the new sysctl kern.nvme.max_optimal_sectorsize.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4446
The NVMe specification has no ability to specify a maximum delete size
that is less than the full capacity of the namespace - so just using the
namespace size is the correct value here.
This fixes reported issues where ZFS trim on init looked like it was
hanging the system - previously the default I/O max size (128KB on
Intel NVMe controllers) was used for delete operations which worked out
to only about 8MB/s. With this patch I can add an 800GB DC P3700
drive to a ZFS pool in about 15-20 seconds.

As part of this commit, add an nvme_strvis() function which borrows
heavily from cam_strvis(). This will allow stripping of
leading/trailing whitespace and also handle unprintable characters
in model/serial numbers. This function goes into a new nvme_util.c
file which is used by both the driver and nvmecontrol.

start or reset. Also add a notifier for NVMe consumers for controller fail
conditions and plumb this notifier for nvd(4) to destroy the associated
GEOM disks when a failure occurs.
This requires a bit of work to cover the races when a consumer is sending
I/O requests to a controller that is transitioning to the failed state. To
help cover this condition, add a task to defer completion of I/Os submitted
to a failed controller, so that the consumer will still always receive its
completions in a different context than the submission.

NVMe error log entries include status, so breaking this out into
its own data structure allows it to be included in both the
nvme_completion data structure as well as error log entry data
structures.
While here, expose nvme_completion_is_error(), and change all of
the places that were explicitly looking at sc/sct bits to use this
macro instead.

This eliminates the need to manage queue depth at the nvd(4) level for
Chatham prototype board workarounds, and also adds the ability to
accept a number of requests on a single qpair that is much larger
than the number of trackers allocated.

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.
