[PATCH 5/6] lightnvm: expose device geometry through sysfs

[PATCH 5/6] lightnvm: expose device geometry through sysfs

[Matias Bjørling]

From: "Simon A. F. Lund" <slund@cnexlabs.com>

For a host to access an Open-Channel SSD, it has to know its geometry,
so that it writes and reads at the appropriate device bounds.

Currently, the geometry information is kept within the kernel, and not
exported to user-space for consumption. This patch exposes the
configuration through sysfs and enables user-space libraries, such as
liblightnvm, to use the sysfs implementation to get the geometry of an
Open-Channel SSD.

The sysfs entries are stored within the device hierarchy, and can be
found using the "lightnvm" device type.

An example configuration looks like this:

You are right. These are rightfully placed under /lightnvm in the sysfs 
path. The description is wrong, will update it. Thanks Jay.

That is an awful lot of new things to add under nvme0n1-type sysfs
entries when there is already a decent amount of stuff under it.

Any chance these new things could be stuck under a separate sysfs
directory under each nvmeXnY device?  If these things are mainly
beneficial to LightNVM, it will be easier for a LightNVM newbie to
find, recognize, and consider all the important things in an Open
Channel SSD solution if it's under a separate directory.  And for
current SSD solutions that don't seem to need these things exposed in
sysfs for operation, it will make what is directly under nvmeXnY
directories less cluttered.

Thanks,
Jay

[PATCH 5/6] lightnvm: expose device geometry through sysfs

[Matias Bjørling]

From: "Simon A. F. Lund" <slund@cnexlabs.com>

For a host to access an Open-Channel SSD, it has to know its geometry,
so that it writes and reads at the appropriate device bounds.

Currently, the geometry information is kept within the kernel, and not
exported to user-space for consumption. This patch exposes the
configuration through sysfs and enables user-space libraries, such as
liblightnvm, to use the sysfs implementation to get the geometry of an
Open-Channel SSD.

The sysfs entries are stored within the device hierarchy, and can be
found using the "lightnvm" device type.

An example configuration looks like this:

/sys/class/nvme/
└── nvme0n1
   ├── capabilities: 3
   ├── device_mode: 1
   ├── channel_parallelism: 0
   ├── erase_max: 1000000
