While very useful by itself, it also makes `nvmecontrol` not depend on
hardcoded device names parsing, that in its turn makes simple to take
nvdX (and potentially any other) device names as arguments.
Also added IOCTL bypass from nvdX to respective nvmeYnsZ makes them
interchangeable for management purposes.

Fix is to check the ONCS field in the NVMe Controller Data structure for

that cross this boundary, they perform better when this isn't the
case. Intel uses the 3rd byte in the vendor specific area for
this. The DC P3500 was previously listed without any explanation. Add
the DC P3520 and DC P4500 to the list.
There won't be any others drives needing this quirk. Intel has
standardized a field in the namespace data in 1.3 (noiob). A future
patch will use that if it exists, with fallback to this method.

Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these is likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Fix assumptions about name spaces in NVME driver. First, it assumes
cdata.nn is the number of configured devices. However, it is the
number of supported name spaces. Second, it assumes that there will
never be more than 16 name spaces supported, but a certain drive I'm
testing reports 1024. It assumes that name spaces are a tightly packed
namespace, but the standard seems to indicate otherwise. Finally, it
assumes that an error would be generated when quearying an
unconfigured namespace. Instead, it succeeds but the identify data is
all zeros.
Fix these by limiting the number of name spaces we probe to 16. Remove
aborting when we find one in error. When the size of the name space is
zero, ignore it.
This is admittedly a bandaide. The long term fix will be to
participate in the enumeration and name space change protocols
definfed in the NVNe standard.

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
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.

Fixes race condition observed under following circumstances:
1) I/O split on 128KB boundary with Intel NVMe controller.
Current Intel controllers produce better latency when
I/Os do not span a 128KB boundary - even if the I/O size
itself is less than 128KB.
2) Per-CPU I/O queues are enabled.
3) Child I/Os are submitted on different submission queues.
4) Interrupts for child I/O completions occur almost
simultaneously.
5) ithread for child I/O A increments bio_inbed, then
immediately is preempted (rendezvous IPI, higher priority
interrupt).
6) ithread for child I/O B increments bio_inbed, then completes
parent bio since all children are now completed.
7) parent bio is freed, and immediately reallocated for a VFS
or gpart bio (including setting bio_children to 1 and
clearing bio_driver1).
8) ithread for child I/O A resumes processing. bio_children
for what it thinks is the parent bio is set to 1, so it
thinks it needs to complete the parent bio.
Result is either calling a NULL callback function, or double freeing
the bio to its uma zone.

The previous method was to set the D_UNMAPPED_IO flag in the cdevsw
for the driver. The problem with this is that in many cases (e.g.
sa(4)) there may be some instances of the driver that can handle
unmapped I/O and some that can't. The isp(4) driver can handle
unmapped I/O, but the esp(4) driver currently cannot. The cdevsw
is shared among all driver instances.
So instead of setting a flag on the cdevsw, set a flag on the cdev.
This allows drivers to indicate support for unmapped I/O on a
per-instance basis.
sys/conf.h: Remove the D_UNMAPPED_IO cdevsw flag and replace it
with an SI_UNMAPPED cdev flag.
kern_physio.c: Look at the cdev SI_UNMAPPED flag to determine
whether or not a particular driver can handle
unmapped I/O.
geom_dev.c: Set the SI_UNMAPPED flag for all GEOM cdevs.
Since GEOM will create a temporary mapping when
needed, setting SI_UNMAPPED unconditionally will
work.
Remove the D_UNMAPPED_IO flag.
nvme_ns.c: Set the SI_UNMAPPED flag on cdevs created here
if NVME_UNMAPPED_BIO_SUPPORT is enabled.
vfs_aio.c: In aio_qphysio(), check the SI_UNMAPPED flag on a
cdev instead of the D_UNMAPPED_IO flag on the cdevsw.
sys/param.h: Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1000045 for the switch from
setting the D_UNMAPPED_IO flag in the cdevsw to setting
SI_UNMAPPED in the cdev.

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.
