|
||||
- Added hardware SGL support, which enables use of scattered buffers that
|
||||
don't conform to the PRP list alignment and length requirements on supported
|
||||
NVMe controllers.
|
||||
- Added end-to-end data protection support, including the ability to write and
|
||||
read metadata in extended LBA (metadata appended to each block of data in the
|
||||
buffer) and separate metadata buffer modes.
|
||||
See `spdk_nvme_ns_cmd_write_with_md()` and `spdk_nvme_ns_cmd_read_with_md()`
|
||||
for details.
|
||||
- IOAT
|
||||
- The DMA block fill feature is now exposed via the `ioat_submit_fill()`
|
||||
function. This is functionally similar to `memset()`, except the memory is
|
||||
filled with an 8-byte repeating pattern instead of a single byte like memset.
|
||||
- PCI
|
||||
- Added support for using DPDK for PCI device mapping in addition to the
|
||||
existing libpciaccess option.
|
||||
existing libpciaccess option. Using the DPDK PCI support also allows use of
|
||||
the Linux VFIO driver model, which means that SPDK userspace drivers will work
|
||||
with the IOMMU enabled. Additionally, SPDK applications may be run as an
|
||||
unprivileged user with access restricted to a specific set of PCIe devices.
|
||||
- The PCI library API was made more generic to abstract away differences
|
||||
between the underlying PCI access implementations.
