This patch also introduces vq->poller_ctx. It will be later reused for per-virtqueue task pools to allow multiple threads using the same virtqueue. Since at the time of scanning there is no I/O traffic, this field is now being used to keep scan base pointer. It has to be freed if an initialization error occurs.

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.
The development kit currently includes:
In this readme:
- Documentation
- Prerequisites
- Source Code
- Build
- Unit Tests
- Vagrant
- Advanced Build Options
- Hugepages and Device Binding
- Example Code
- Contributing
Documentation
Doxygen API documentation is available, as well as a Porting Guide for porting SPDK to different frameworks and operating systems.
Source Code
git clone https://github.com/spdk/spdk
cd spdk
git submodule update --init
Prerequisites
The dependencies can be installed automatically by scripts/pkgdep.sh
.
./scripts/pkgdep.sh
Build
Linux:
./configure
make
FreeBSD: Note: Make sure you have the matching kernel source in /usr/src/ and also note that CONFIG_COVERAGE option is not available right now for FreeBSD builds.
./configure
gmake
Unit Tests
./unittest.sh
You will see several error messages when running the unit tests, but they are part of the test suite. The final message at the end of the script indicates success or failure.
Vagrant
A Vagrant setup is also provided to create a Linux VM with a virtual NVMe controller to get up and running quickly. Currently this has only been tested on MacOS and Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with the VirtualBox provider. The VirtualBox Extension Pack must also be installed in order to get the required NVMe support.
Details on the Vagrant setup can be found in the SPDK Vagrant documentation.
Advanced Build Options
Optional components and other build-time configuration are controlled by
settings in two Makefile fragments in the root of the repository. CONFIG
contains the base settings. Running the configure
script generates a new
file, CONFIG.local
, that contains overrides to the base CONFIG
file. For
advanced configuration, there are a number of additional options to configure
that may be used, or CONFIG.local
can simply be created and edited by hand. A
description of all possible options is located in CONFIG
.
Boolean (on/off) options are configured with a 'y' (yes) or 'n' (no). For
example, this line of CONFIG
controls whether the optional RDMA (libibverbs)
support is enabled:
CONFIG_RDMA?=n
To enable RDMA, this line may be added to CONFIG.local
with a 'y' instead of
'n'. For the majority of options this can be done using the configure
script.
For example:
./configure --with-rdma
Additionally, CONFIG
options may also be overrriden on the make
command
line:
make CONFIG_RDMA=y
Users may wish to use a version of DPDK different from the submodule included in the SPDK repository. To specify an alternate DPDK installation, run configure with the --with-dpdk option. For example:
Linux:
./configure --with-dpdk=/path/to/dpdk/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
make
FreeBSD:
./configure --with-dpdk=/path/to/dpdk/x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang
gmake
The options specified on the make
command line take precedence over the
default values in CONFIG
and CONFIG.local
. This can be useful if you, for
example, generate a CONFIG.local
using the configure
script and then have
one or two options (i.e. debug builds) that you wish to turn on and off
frequently.
Hugepages and Device Binding
Before running an SPDK application, some hugepages must be allocated and any NVMe and I/OAT devices must be unbound from the native kernel drivers. SPDK includes a script to automate this process on both Linux and FreeBSD. This script should be run as root.
sudo scripts/setup.sh
Example Code
Example code is located in the examples directory. The examples are compiled automatically as part of the build process. Simply call any of the examples with no arguments to see the help output. You'll likely need to run the examples as a privileged user (root) unless you've done additional configuration to grant your user permission to allocate huge pages and map devices through vfio.
