The underlying driver does not need to recalculate the buffer size as
it is passed in the AsyncBlockDevice struct anyway. This also helps in
removing any assumptions of the underlying block size of the device.
Add polling support to NVMe so that it does not use interrupt to
complete a IO but instead actively polls for completion. This probably
is not very efficient in terms of CPU usage but it does not use
interrupts to complete a IO which is beneficial at the moment as there
is no MSI(X) support and it can reduce the latency of an IO in a very
fast NVMe device.
The NVMeQueue class has been made the base class for NVMeInterruptQueue
and NVMePollQueue. The factory function `NVMeQueue::try_create` will
return the appropriate queue to the controller based on the polling
boot parameter.
The polling mode can be enabled by adding an extra boot parameter:
`nvme_poll`.
There was a bug while calculating the next index in submit_sync_sqe
function. Use the NVMeQueue's class variable m_qdepth instead of the
hardcoded IO_QUEUE_SIZE.
Instead, try to allocate the DMA buffer before trying to construct the
NVMeQueue. This allows us to fail early if we can't allocate the DMA
buffer before allocating and creating the heavier NVMeQueue object.
Only a generic struct definition was present for NVMeSubmission. To
improve type safety and clarity, added an union of NVMeSubmission
structs that are applicable to the command being submitted.
We need to use the volatile keyword when mapping the device registers,
or the compiler may optimize access, which lead to this QEMU error:
pci_nvme_ub_mmiord_toosmall in nvme_mmio_read: MMIO read smaller than
32-bits, offset=0x0
Add a basic NVMe driver support to serenity
based on NVMe spec 1.4.
The driver can support multiple NVMe drives (subsystems).
But in a NVMe drive, the driver can support one controller
with multiple namespaces.
Each core will get a separate NVMe Queue.
As the system lacks MSI support, PIN based interrupts are
used for IO.
Tested the NVMe support by replacing IDE driver
with the NVMe driver :^)
