The current implementation of nvme_assert in the unit test nvme_impl.h just prints the message and continues. We should not be triggering assert conditions, even in the unit test code, so make nvme_assert actually call assert(). This lets us catch mistakes in the unit tests more easily. Also fix the two unit tests that currently trigger an assert: - The I/O splitting test in nvme_ns_cmd_ut was passing an invalid combination of NULL payload with non-zero lba_count. - The ctrlr_cmd test was passing an invalid number of entries to nvme_ctrlr_cmd_get_error_page(). This case should probably not be an assert but rather an error code. However, the function does not return a status code currently, so it is not trivial to make that change. For now, just drop the asserting test case and the code added to the test to work around it. While we're here, fix the macros in the unit test nvme_impl.h so they are usable in single-line conditionals without braces - that is the whole point of the do { ... } while (0) pattern, so there should be no trailing semicolon.

Storage Performance Development Kit
The Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK) provides a set of tools and libraries for writing high performance, scalable, user-mode storage applications. It achieves high performance by moving all of the necessary drivers into userspace and operating in a polled mode instead of relying on interrupts, which avoids kernel context switches and eliminates interrupt handling overhead.
Prerequisites
To build SPDK, some dependencies must be installed.
Fedora/CentOS:
- gcc
- libpciaccess-devel
- CUnit-devel
Ubuntu/Debian:
- gcc
- libpciaccess-dev
- make
- libcunit1-dev
FreeBSD:
- gcc
- libpciaccess
- gmake
- cunit
Additionally, DPDK is required.
1) cd /path/to/spdk
2) wget http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/snapshot/dpdk-2.1.0.tar.gz
3) tar xfz dpdk-2.1.0.tar.gz
4) cd dpdk-2.1.0
Linux:
5) make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
FreeBSD:
5) gmake install T=x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang
Building
Once the prerequisites are installed, run 'make' within the SPDK directory to build the SPDK libraries and examples.
make DPDK_DIR=/path/to/dpdk
If you followed the instructions above for building DPDK:
Linux:
make DPDK_DIR=`pwd`/dpdk-2.1.0/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
FreeBSD:
gmake DPDK_DIR=`pwd`/dpdk-2.1.0/x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang
Hugepages and Device Binding
Before running an SPDK application, some hugepages must be allocated and any NVMe devices must be unbound from the native NVMe kernel driver. SPDK includes scripts to automate this process on both Linux and FreeBSD.
1) scripts/configure_hugepages.sh
2) scripts/unbind_nvme.sh
