JSON-RPC
Overview
SPDK implements a JSON-RPC 2.0 server to allow external management tools to dynamically configure SPDK components.
Parameters
Most of the commands can take parameters. If present, parameter is validated against its domain. If this check fail whole command will fail with response error message [Invalid params](@ref jsonrpc_error_message).
Required parameters
These parameters are mandatory. If any required parameter is missing RPC command will fail with proper error response.
Optional parameters
Those parameters might be omitted. If an optional parameter is present it must be valid otherwise command will fail proper error response.
Error response message
Each error response will contain proper message. As much as possible the message should indicate what went wrong during command processing.
There is ongoing effort to customize this messages but some RPC methods just return "Invalid parameters" as message body for any kind of error.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| -1 | Invalid state - given method exists but it is not callable in [current runtime state](@ref rpc_framework_start_init) |
| -32600 | Invalid request - not compliant with JSON-RPC 2.0 Specification |
| -32601 | Method not found |
| -32602 | @ref jsonrpc_invalid_params |
| -32603 | Internal error for e.g.: errors like out of memory |
| -32700 | @ref jsonrpc_parser_error |
Parser error
Encountered some error during parsing request like:
- the JSON object is malformed
- parameter is too long
- request is too long
Invalid params
This type of error is most common one. It mean that there is an error while processing the request like:
- Parameters decoding in RPC method handler failed because required parameter is missing.
- Unknown parameter present encountered.
- Parameter type doesn't match expected type e.g.: given number when expected a string.
- Parameter domain check failed.
- Request is valid but some other error occurred during processing request. If possible message explains the error reason nature.
rpc.py
SPDK provides a set of Python scripts which can invoke the JSON-RPC methods described in this document. 'rpc.py' in the scripts directory is the main script that users will invoke to execute a JSON-RPC method. The scripts/rpc directory contains modules that 'rpc.py' imports for definitions of each SPDK library's or module's methods.
Example:
scripts/rpc.py bdev_nvme_attach_controller -b nvme0 -a 00:02.0 -t pcie
A brief description of each of the RPC methods and optional 'rpc.py' arguments can be viewed with:
scripts/rpc.py --help
A detailed description of each RPC method and its parameters is also available. For example:
scripts/rpc.py bdev_nvme_attach_controller --help
Generate JSON-RPC methods for current configuration
An initial configuration can be specified for an SPDK application via the '-c' command line parameter. The configuration file is a JSON file containing all of the JSON-RPC method invocations necessary for the desired configuration. Writing these files by hand is extremely tedious however, so 'rpc.py' provides a mechanism to generate a JSON-RPC file based on the current configuration.
scripts/rpc.py save_config > config.json
'config.json' can then be passed to a new SPDK application using the '-c' command line parameter to reproduce the same configuration.
JSON-RPC batching
'rpc.py' also supports batching of multiple JSON-RPC methods with one invocation. So instead of calling 'rpc.py' once for each JSON-RPC method, such as:
scripts/rpc.py bdev_malloc_create -b malloc0 64 512
scripts/rpc.py nvmf_create_subsystem nqn.2016-06.io.spdk:cnode1 -a
scripts/rpc.py nvmf_subsystem_add_ns nqn.2016-06.io.spdk:cnode1 malloc0
scripts/rpc.py nvmf_create_transport -t tcp
scripts/rpc.py nvmf_subsystem_add_listener nqn.2016-06.io.spdk:cnode1 -t tcp -a 127.0.0.1 -s 4420
you can put the following into a text file:
bdev_malloc_create -b malloc0 64 512
nvmf_create_subsystem nqn.2016-06.io.spdk:cnode1 -a
nvmf_subsystem_add_ns nqn.2016-06.io.spdk:cnode1 malloc0
nvmf_create_transport -t tcp
nvmf_subsystem_add_listener nqn.2016-06.io.spdk:cnode1 -t tcp -a 127.0.0.1 -s 4420
and then just do:
scripts/rpc.py < rpc.txt
Adding external RPC methods
SPDK includes both in-tree modules as well as the ability to use external modules. The in-tree modules include some python scripts to ease the process of sending RPCs to in-tree modules. External modules can utilize this same framework to add new RPC methods as follows:
If PYTHONPATH doesn't include the location of the external RPC python script, it should be updated:
export PYTHONPATH=/home/user/plugin_example/
In provided location, create python module file (e.g. rpc_plugin.py) with new RPC methods. The file should contain spdk_rpc_plugin_initialize() method that will be called when the plugin is loaded to define new parsers for provided subparsers argument that adds new RPC calls (subparsers.add_parser()). The new parsers should use the client.call() method to call RPC functions registered within the external module using the SPDK_RPC_REGISTER() macro. Example:
from rpc.client import print_json
def example_create(client, num_blocks, block_size, name=None, uuid=None):
"""Construct an example block device.
Args:
num_blocks: size of block device in blocks
block_size: block size of device; must be a power of 2 and at least 512
name: name of block device (optional)
uuid: UUID of block device (optional)
Returns:
Name of created block device.
"""
params = {'num_blocks': num_blocks, 'block_size': block_size}
if name:
params['name'] = name
if uuid:
params['uuid'] = uuid
return client.call('bdev_example_create', params)
def example_delete(client, name):
"""Delete example block device.
Args:
bdev_name: name of bdev to delete
"""
params = {'name': name}
return client.call('bdev_example_delete', params)
def spdk_rpc_plugin_initialize(subparsers):
def bdev_example_create(args):
num_blocks = (args.total_size * 1024 * 1024) // args.block_size
print_json(example_create(args.client,
num_blocks=int(num_blocks),
block_size=args.block_size,
name=args.name,
uuid=args.uuid))
p = subparsers.add_parser('bdev_example_create',
help='Create an example bdev')
p.add_argument('-b', '--name', help="Name of the bdev")
p.add_argument('-u', '--uuid', help="UUID of the bdev")
p.add_argument(
'total_size', help='Size of bdev in MB (float > 0)', type=float)
p.add_argument('block_size', help='Block size for this bdev', type=int)
p.set_defaults(func=bdev_example_create)
def bdev_example_delete(args):
example_delete(args.client,
name=args.name)
p = subparsers.add_parser('bdev_example_delete',
help='Delete an example disk')
p.add_argument('name', help='example bdev name')
p.set_defaults(func=bdev_example_delete)
Finally, call the rpc.py script with '--plugin' parameter to provide above python module name:
./scripts/rpc.py --plugin rpc_plugin bdev_example_create 10 4096
Converting from legacy configuration
Starting with SPDK 20.10, legacy configuration file support has been removed. Users with extensive configuration files already running in SPDK application, can [generate JSON-RPC for current configuration](@ref jsonrpc_generate).
If binary for deploying the application is unavailable, the legacy configuration file can be converted to JSON-RPC using python tool:
./scripts/config_converter.py < config.ini > config.json

bdev_rbd_register_cluster
This method is available only if SPDK was build with Ceph RBD support.
Parameters
| Name | Optional | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Required | string | Registerd Rados cluster object name |
| user_id | Optional | string | Ceph ID (i.e. admin, not client.admin) |
| config_param | Optional | string map | Explicit librados configuration |
| config_file | Optional | string | File path of libraodos configuration file |
This RPC registers a Rados Cluster object handle which is only known to rbd module, it uses user_id + config_param or user_id + config_file to identify a Rados cluster object.
If no config_param is specified, Ceph configuration files must exist with all relevant settings for accessing the Ceph cluster. If a config map is passed, the configuration files are ignored and instead all key/value pairs are passed to rados_conf_set to configure cluster access. In practice, "mon_host" (= list of monitor address+port) and "key" (= the secret key stored in Ceph keyrings) are enough.
When accessing the Ceph cluster as some user other than "admin" (the default), the "user_id" has to be set.
Result
Name of newly created Rados cluster object.
Example
Example request with key from /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring:
~~ { "params": { "name": "rbd_cluster", "config_param": { "mon_host": "192.168.7.1:6789,192.168.7.2:6789", "key": "AQDwf8db7zR1GRAA5k7NKXjS5S5V4mntwUDnGQ==", } }, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "bdev_rbd_register_cluster", "id": 1 } ~~
Example response:
~~ response: { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "rbd_cluster" } ~~
bdev_rbd_unregister_cluster
This method is available only if SPDK was build with Ceph RBD support. If there is still rbd bdev using this cluster, the unregisteration operation will fail.
Result
true if Rados cluster object with provided name was deleted or false otherwise.
Parameters
| Name | Optional | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Required | string | Rados cluster object name |
Example
Example request:
~~ { "params": { "name": "rbd_cluster" }, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "bdev_rbd_unregister_cluster", "id": 1 } ~~
Example response:
~~ { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": true } ~~

| block_size | Required | number | Block size |
| config | Optional | string map | Explicit librados configuration |
| cluster_name | Optional | string | Rados cluster object name created in this module. |
If no config is specified, Ceph configuration files must exist with all relevant settings for accessing the pool. If a config map is passed, the configuration files are ignored and instead all key/value pairs are passed to rados_conf_set to configure cluster access. In practice, "mon_host" (= list of monitor address+port) and "key" (= the secret key stored in Ceph keyrings) are enough.
When accessing the image as some user other than "admin" (the default), the "user_id" has to be set.
If provided with cluster_name option, it will use the Rados cluster object referenced by the name (created by bdev_rbd_register_cluster RPC) and ignores "user_id + config" combination to create its own Rados cluster.
Result
Name of newly created bdev.

nvmf_set_crdt
Set the 3 CRDT (Command Retry Delay Time) values. For details about CRDT, please refer to the NVMe specification. Currently all the SPDK nvmf subsystems share the same CRDT values. The default values are 0. This rpc can only be invoked in STARTUP stage. All values are in units of 100 milliseconds (same as the NVMe specification).
Parameters
| Name | Optional | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| crdt1 | Optional | number | Command Retry Delay Time 1 |
| crdt2 | Optional | number | Command Retry Delay Time 2 |
| crdt3 | Optional | number | Command Retry Delay Time 3 |
Vhost Target
The following common preconditions need to be met in all target types.
Controller name will be used to create UNIX domain socket. This implies that name concatenated with vhost socket directory path needs to be valid UNIX socket name.
@ref cpu_mask parameter is used to choose CPU on which pollers will be launched when new initiator is connecting. It must be a subset of application CPU mask. Default value is CPU mask of the application.
vhost_controller_set_coalescing
Controls interrupt coalescing for specific target. Because delay_base_us is used to calculate delay in CPU ticks
there is no hardcoded limit for this parameter. Only limitation is that final delay in CPU ticks might not overflow
32 bit unsigned integer (which is more than 1s @ 4GHz CPU). In real scenarios delay_base_us should be much lower
than 150us. To disable coalescing set delay_base_us to 0.
Parameters
| Name | Optional | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ctrlr | Required | string | Controller name |
| delay_base_us | Required | number | Base (minimum) coalescing time in microseconds |
