The error count starts at 1h, is incremented for each unique error log entry, and is retained across power off conditions. A value of 0h indicates an invalid entry; this value is used when there are lost entries or when there are fewer errors than the maximum number of entries the controller supports. If the value of this field is FFFFFFFFh, then the field shall be set to 1h when incremented (i.e., rolls over to 1h). Prior to NVMe 1.4, processing of incrementing beyond FFFFFFFFh is unspecified.
sqid: Submission Queue ID: indicates the Submission Queue Identifier of the command that the error information is associated with. If the error is not specific to a particular command, then this field shall be set to FFFFh.

critical_warning: This field indicates critical warnings for the state of the controller. Critical warnings may result in an asynchronous event notification to the host. Bits in this field represent the current associated state and are not persistent (see enum nvme_smart_crit).
temperature: Composite Temperature: Contains a value corresponding to a temperature in Kelvins that represents the current composite temperature of the controller and namespace(s) associated with that controller. The manner in which this value is computed is implementation specific and may not represent the actual temperature of any physical point in the NVM subsystem. Warning and critical overheating composite temperature threshold values are reported by the WCTEMP and CCTEMP fields in the Identify Controller data structure.
avail_spare: Available Spare: Contains a normalized percentage (0% to 100%) of the remaining spare capacity available.
spare_thresh: Available Spare Threshold: When the Available Spare falls below the threshold indicated in this field, an asynchronous event completion may occur. The value is indicated as a normalized percentage (0% to 100%). The values 101 to 255 are reserved.
percent_used: Percentage Used: Contains a vendor specific estimate of the percentage of NVM subsystem life used based on the actual usage and the manufacturer’s prediction of NVM life. A value of 100 indicates that the estimated endurance of the NVM in the NVM subsystem has been consumed, but may not indicate an NVM subsystem failure. The value is allowed to exceed 100. Percentages greater than 254 shall be represented as 255. This value shall be updated once per power-on hour (when the controller is not in a sleep state).
endu_grp_crit_warn_sumry: Endurance Group Critical Warning Summary: This field indicates critical warnings for the state of Endurance Groups. Bits in this field represent the current associated state and are not persistent (see enum nvme_smart_egcw).
rsvd7: Reserved
data_units_read: Data Units Read: Contains the number of 512 byte data units the host has read from the controller; this value does not include metadata. This value is reported in thousands (i.e., a value of 1 corresponds to 1000 units of 512 bytes read) and is rounded up (e.g., one indicates the that number of 512 byte data units read is from 1 to 1000, three indicates that the number of 512 byte data units read is from 2001 to 3000). When the LBA size is a value other than 512 bytes, the controller shall convert the amount of data read to 512 byte units. For the NVM command set, logical blocks read as part of Compare, Read, and Verify operations shall be included in this value. A value of 0h in this field indicates that the number of Data Units Read is not reported.
data_units_written: Data Units Written: Contains the number of 512 byte data units the host has written to the controller; this value does not include metadata. This value is reported in thousands (i.e., a value of 1 corresponds to 1000 units of 512 bytes written) and is rounded up (e.g., one indicates that the number of 512 byte data units written is from 1 to 1,000, three indicates that the number of 512 byte data units written is from 2001 to 3000). When the LBA size is a value other than 512 bytes, the controller shall convert the amount of data written to 512 byte units. For the NVM command set, logical blocks written as part of Write operations shall be included in this value. Write Uncorrectable commands and Write Zeroes commands shall not impact this value. A value of 0h in this field indicates that the number of Data Units Written is not reported.
host_reads: Host Read Commands: Contains the number of read commands completed by the controller. For the NVM command set, this value is the sum of the number of Compare commands and the number of Read commands.
host_writes: Host Write Commands: Contains the number of write commands completed by the controller. For the NVM command set, this is the number of Write commands.
ctrl_busy_time: Controller Busy Time: Contains the amount of time the controller is busy with I/O commands. The controller is busy when there is a command outstanding to an I/O Queue (specifically, a command was issued via an I/O Submission Queue Tail doorbell write and the corresponding completion queue entry has not been posted yet to the associated I/O Completion Queue). This value is reported in minutes.
power_cycles: Power Cycles: Contains the number of power cycles.
power_on_hours: Power On Hours: Contains the number of power-on hours. This may not include time that the controller was powered and in a non-operational power state.
unsafe_shutdowns: Unsafe Shutdowns: Contains the number of unsafe shutdowns. This count is incremented when a Shutdown Notification (CC.SHN) is not received prior to loss of power.
media_errors: Media and Data Integrity Errors: Contains the number of occurrences where the controller detected an unrecovered data integrity error. Errors such as uncorrectable ECC, CRC checksum failure, or LBA tag mismatch are included in this field. Errors introduced as a result of a Write Uncorrectable command may or may not be included in this field.
num_err_log_entries: Number of Error Information Log Entries: Contains the number of Error Information log entries over the life of the controller.
warning_temp_time: Warning Composite Temperature Time: Contains the amount of time in minutes that the controller is operational and the Composite Temperature is greater than or equal to the Warning Composite Temperature Threshold (WCTEMP) field and less than the Critical Composite Temperature Threshold (CCTEMP) field in the Identify Controller data structure. If the value of the WCTEMP or CCTEMP field is 0h, then this field is always cleared to 0h regardless of the Composite Temperature value.
critical_comp_time: Critical Composite Temperature Time: Contains the amount of time in minutes that the controller is operational and the Composite Temperature is greater than or equal to the Critical Composite Temperature Threshold (CCTEMP) field in the Identify Controller data structure. If the value of the CCTEMP field is 0h, then this field is always cleared to 0h regardless of the Composite Temperature value.
temp_sensor: Temperature Sensor 1-8: Contains the current temperature in degrees Kelvin reported by temperature sensors 1-8. The physical point in the NVM subsystem whose temperature is reported by the temperature sensor and the temperature accuracy is implementation specific. An implementation that does not implement the temperature sensor reports a value of 0h.
thm_temp1_trans_count: Thermal Management Temperature 1 Transition Count: Contains the number of times the controller transitioned to lower power active power states or performed vendor specific thermal management actions while minimizing the impact on performance in order to attempt to reduce the Composite Temperature because of the host controlled thermal management feature (i.e., the Composite Temperature rose above the Thermal Management Temperature 1). This counter shall not wrap once the value FFFFFFFFh is reached. A value of 0h, indicates that this transition has never occurred or this field is not implemented.
thm_temp2_trans_count: Thermal Management Temperature 2 Transition Count
thm_temp1_total_time: Total Time For Thermal Management Temperature 1: Contains the number of seconds that the controller had transitioned to lower power active power states or performed vendor specific thermal management actions while minimizing the impact on performance in order to attempt to reduce the Composite Temperature because of the host controlled thermal management feature. This counter shall not wrap once the value FFFFFFFFh is reached. A value of 0h, indicates that this transition has never occurred or this field is not implemented.

Members

basic: Basic format (struct nvmf_disc_log_entry)
extended: Extended format (struct nvmf_ext_die)

Description

Depending on the ENTFMT specified in the DIM, DIEs can be entered with the Basic or Extended formats. For Basic format, each entry has a fixed length. Therefore, the “basic” field defined below can be accessed as a C array. For the Extended format, however, each entry is of variable length (TEL). Therefore, the “extended” field defined below cannot be accessed as a C array. Instead, the “extended” field is akin to a linked-list, where one can “walk” through the list. To move to the next entry, one simply adds the current entry’s length (TEL) to the “walk” pointer. The number of entries in the list is specified by NUMENT. Although extended entries are of a variable lengths (TEL), TEL is always a multiple of 4 bytes.

mi.h - NVMe Management Interface library (libnvme-mi) definitions.

These provide an abstraction for the MI messaging between controllers and a host, typically over an MCTP-over-i2c link to a NVMe device, used as part of the out-of-band management of a system.

We have a few data structures define here to reflect the topology of a MI connection with an NVMe subsystem:

nvme_mi_ep_t: an MI endpoint - our mechanism of communication with a NVMe subsystem. For MCTP, an endpoint will be the component that holds the MCTP address (EID), and receives our request message.

endpoints are defined in the NVMe-MI spec, and are specific to the MI interface.

Each endpoint will provide access to one or more of:

nvme_mi_ctrl_t: a NVMe controller, as defined by the NVMe base spec. The controllers are responsible for processing any NVMe standard commands (eg, the Admin command set). An endpoint (nvme_mi_ep_t) may provide access to multiple controllers - so each of the controller- type commands will require a nvme_mi_ctrl_t to be specified, rather than an endpoint

A couple of conventions with the libnvme-mi API:

All types and functions have the nvme_mi prefix, to distinguish from the libnvme core.

We currently support either MI commands and Admin commands. The former adds a _mi prefix, the latter an _admin prefix. [This does result in the MI functions having a double _mi, like nvme_mi_mi_subsystem_health_status_poll, which is apparently amusing for our German-speaking readers]

For return values: unless specified in the per-function documentation, all functions:

return 0 on success

return -1, with errno set, for errors communicating with the MI device, either in request or response data

return >1 on MI status errors. This value is the 8-bit MI status value, represented by enum nvme_mi_resp_status. Note that the status values may be vendor-defined above 0xe0.

For the second case, we have a few conventions for errno values:

EPROTO: response data violated the MI protocol, and libnvme cannot validly interpret the response

EIO: Other I/O error communicating with device (eg., valid but unexpected response data)

EINVAL: invalid input arguments for a command

In line with the core NVMe API, the Admin command functions take an _args structure to provide the command-specific parameters. However, for the MI interface, the fd and timeout members of these _args structs are ignored.

References to the specifications here will either to be the NVM Express Management Interface (“NVMe-MI”) or the NVM Express Base specification (“NVMe”). At the time of writing, the versions we’re referencing here are:

NVMe-MI 1.2b

NVMe 2.0b

with a couple of accommodations for older spec types, particularly NVMe-MI 1.1, where possible.

Parameters

ep: nvme_mi_ep_t containing endpoints
c: nvme_mi_ctrl_t object, set on each iteration

Description

Allows iteration of the list of controllers behind an endpoint. Unless the controllers have already been created explicitly, you’ll probably want to call :c:type:`nvme_mi_scan_ep`() to scan for the controllers first.

See: :c:type:`nvme_mi_scan_ep`()

Parameters

void: no arguments

Description

This function queries the system MCTP daemon (“mctpd”) over D-Bus, to find MCTP endpoints that report support for NVMe-MI over MCTP.

This requires libvnme-mi to be compiled with D-Bus support; if not, this will return NULL.

Return

Description

This function queries an MI endpoint for the controllers available, by performing an MI Read MI Data Structure command (requesting the controller list). The controllers are stored in the endpoint’s internal list, and can be iterated with nvme_mi_for_each_ctrl.

This will only scan the endpoint once, unless force_rescan is set. If so, all existing controller objects will be freed - the caller must not hold a reference to those across this call.

See: nvme_mi_for_each_ctrl

Return

0 on success, non-zero on failure

int nvme_mi_admin_xfer(nvme_mi_ctrl_t ctrl, struct nvme_mi_admin_req_hdr *admin_req, size_t req_data_size, struct nvme_mi_admin_resp_hdr *admin_resp, off_t resp_data_offset, size_t *resp_data_size)¶: Raw admin transfer interface.

Parameters

nvme_mi_ctrl_t ctrl: controller to send the admin command to
struct nvme_mi_admin_req_hdr *admin_req: request data
size_t req_data_size: size of request data payload
struct nvme_mi_admin_resp_hdr *admin_resp: buffer for response data
off_t resp_data_offset: offset into request data to retrieve from controller
size_t *resp_data_size: size of response data buffer, updated to received size

Description

Performs an arbitrary NVMe Admin command, using the provided request data, in admin_req. The size of the request data payload is specified in req_data_size - this does not include the standard header length (so a header-only request would have a size of 0).

On success, response data is stored in admin_resp, which has an optional appended payload buffer of resp_data_size bytes. The actual payload transferred will be stored in resp_data_size. These sizes do not include the Admin request header, so 0 represents no payload.

As with all Admin commands, we can request partial data from the Admin Response payload, offset by resp_data_offset.

See: struct nvme_mi_admin_req_hdr and struct nvme_mi_admin_resp_hdr.

Return

0 on success, non-zero on failure.

Description

Perform an Identify command, using the Identify command parameters in args. The offset and size arguments allow the caller to retrieve part of the identify response. See NVMe-MI section 6.2 for the semantics (and some handy diagrams) of the offset & size parameters.

Will return an error if the length of the response data (from the controller) did not match size.

Unless you’re performing a vendor-unique identify command, You’ll probably want to use one of the identify helpers (nvme_mi_admin_identify, nvme_mi_admin_identify_cns_nsid, or nvme_mi_admin_identify_<type>) instead of this. If the type of your identify command is standardized but not yet supported by libnvme-mi, please contact the maintainers.

size_t val_len: This is the length of the data to be copied to the “exatval” field of a “struct nvmf_ext_attr”.

Description

Return the size of the “struct nvmf_ext_attr” needed to hold a value of size val_len.

Return

The size in bytes, rounded to a multiple of 4 (i.e. size of __u32), of the “struct nvmf_ext_attr” required to hold a string of length val_len.

struct nvmf_ext_attr *nvmf_exat_ptr_next(struct nvmf_ext_attr *p)¶: Increment p to the next element in the array.

Parameters

struct nvmf_ext_attr *p: Pointer to an element of an array of “struct nvmf_ext_attr”.

Description

Extended attributes are saved to an array of “struct nvmf_ext_attr” where each element of the array is of variable size. In order to move to the next element in the array one must increment the pointer to the current element (p) by the size of the current element.

Return

Pointer to the next element in the array.
