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.

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.

Now that all requests are timed, we are guaranteed to get a completion

command.
This has the effect of simplifying the controller and namespace setup
code, so that it reads straight through rather than broken up into
a bunch of different callback functions.

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.

While aborts are typically cleaner than a full controller reset, many times
an I/O timeout indicates other controller-level issues where aborts may not
work. NVMe drivers for other operating systems are also defaulting to
controller reset rather than aborts for timed out I/O.

On any I/O timeout, check for csts.cfs==1. If set, the controller
is reporting fatal status and we reset the controller immediately,
rather than trying to abort the timed out command.
This changeset also includes deferring the controller start portion
of the reset to a separate task. This ensures we are always performing
a controller start operation from a consistent context.

Controller reset will be performed in cases where I/O are repeatedly
timing out, the controller reports an unrecoverable condition, or
when explicitly requested via IOCTL or an nvme consumer. Since the
controller may be in such a state where it cannot even process queue
deletion requests, we will perform a controller reset without trying
to clean up anything on the controller first.

NVMe's definition of SGEs (called PRPs) only allows for the first SGE to

This allows us to mostly build NVMe command buffers without holding the

This simplifies the driver significantly where it is constructing
commands to be submitted to hardware. By reducing the number of
PRPs (NVMe parlance for SGE) from 128 to 32, it ensures we do not
allocate too much memory for more common smaller I/O sizes, while
still supporting up to 128KB I/O sizes.
This also paves the way for pre-allocation of nvme_tracker objects
for each queue which will simplify the I/O path even further.

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.
