v0.5.0

A bit of expansion in the application of xNVMe with support for macOS, a
ramdisk backend, revival of Python language bindings and a refresh of the docs
on NVMe-over-Fabrics.

  • API

    • Removed helpers for SGL
    • Add 'subnqn' to 'xnvme_ident', useful for NVMe-oF
    • Add 'hostnqn' to 'opts', useful for NVMe-oF
    • Add support directive-receive and write-with-directives
    • Spec adjusted for NVMe 2.0, still more work needed in this area

  • Third-party

    • Bumped fio to v3.32
    • Bumped SPDK to v22.05
    • Removed liburing, now relies on on-system library instead of
      vendoring/bundling, documentation is updated to assist with library
      installation

  • Tooling

    • Re-working testing using cijoe 0.9+, that is, switching to CIJOE/pytest for
      testing an CIJOE workflows for instrumentation
    • liburing is no longer bundled with xNVMe, that is, xNVMe now links with
      liburing as discovered on the system via pkg-config. This is done to avoid
      symbol collisions for applications linking or loading liburing and xNVMe.

  • be:linux:async:libaio

    • When 'opts.poll_io' is set then poke() will return immmediatly and now wait
      for completions. This allows the use of trading CPU for more IOPS and lower
      per command latency.

  • Additional user-space NVMe driver support via libvfn

    • Added 'be:vfio' providing another user-space driver via libvfn

  • Preliminary support for macOS

    • Initial implementation using the "core" I/O mechanisms of sync-io, async
      emulation and the threadpool
    • Does enumeration of NVMe devices through the limited interface provided for
      user-space by the macOS kernel
    • Utilizes what is avaiable for admin-command submision

  • Prelimiary support for a "ramdisk" device

    • be:ramdisk: added a backend mimicing the behavior of an NVMe NVM namespace
    • Intended as a test-vehicle providing a "device" without requiring anything
      but the consumption of main memory of the system
    • I/O is "stored" using main-memory

  • Revival of the xNVMe Python language bindings

    • A re-introduction of the Python bindings, these are now generated and thus
      provide access to the entire xNVMe C API
    • They are added to the testing infrastructure ensuring that they are aligned
      with the library
    • In addition to simple ctypes bindings, then cython headers and bindings
      based on Cython are provided

  • Documentation

    • Refreshed the NVMe-over-Fabrics tutorial
    • Expanded with descriptions on installing liburing
    • Expanded with a section for the WIP Python bindings

v0.3.0

Release Notes: v0.3.0

In the release assets you will find:

  • xnvme-v0.3.0.tar.gz - Full source archive, no third-party source missing!
  • test-results-*.zip - CIJOE test-results, logs, and reports

v0.3.0

This main feature of this release is the alignment of the io_uring_cmd
implementation with the io_uring big-sqe/big-cqe approach to asynchronous
passthru of NVMe commands.

NOTE: the tracking of the liburing repository/subproject is changed from the
fixed tag liburing-2.1 to the master branch. Thus, in case you
experience liburing related build-issues with this release, then it is most
likely due to changes on master. As soon as liburing-2.2 is released,
xNVMe will be released as well going back to stable tracking. Thus, do not pin
your project to the xNVMe project tag for v0.3.0 if you rely on the
io_uring functionality.

  • Asynchronous Passthru of NVMe Commands via io_uring

    • There are no API changes to adjust to, the changes are encapsulated inside
      the implementation of be:linux:async:ucmd aka async=io_uring_cmd.
    • The previous version of io_uring_cmd used indirect-commands, that is,
      the io_uring-sqe contained a pointer to the NVMe-command. This approach of
      passthrough via io_uring has been superseeded by the
      big-sqe/big-cqe approach with the NVMe-sqe embedded within the
      io_uring-sqe, and similar for the NVMe-cqe inside the io_uring-cqe.
    • This requires changes to how the io_uring is setup, this task is
      delegated to liburing and the subproject-wrap now tracks liburing
      master to do this.

  • API

    • Fixed xnvme_enumerate() when NULL was passed as opts, it now
      uses xnvme_default_opts() when no opts are given
    • Misc. fixes to docstrings missing descriptions

  • cmd:

    • Fixed missing full-guard on full-guard in xnvme_cmd_passv()

  • be:async:{emu,thrpool}: several fixes to command-processing

    • Fixed missing setup of completion errors
    • Fixed missing empty-guard in cmd_io{v}()

  • fio IO engine

    • 3p:fio: bumped to v3.30
    • tools:fioe: fixed issue with iovec-payloads
    • tools:fioe: cleanup and alignment with upstream xNVMe fio IO engine
    • docs: removed deprecated information and re-written with usage examples

  • tests:io_worker

    • Added a basic io_worker to verify the behavior of the
      submit-upon-completion

  • tools:xdd

    • The xdd tool now provides an offset argument (in bytes), previously
      it started from 0

  • Documentation

    • Re-introduced the tutorial section containing a guide to dynamically
      load xNVMe from C and Python
    • Added a Contributors section containing notes useful for first-time
      Contributors
