[PATCH v2 10/12] libnvdimm: Add runtime firmware activation sysfs interface

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Abstract the platform specific mechanics for firmware activation behind
a handful of generic ops. At the bus level ->activate_state() indicates
the unified state (idle, busy, armed) of all DIMMs on the bus, and
->capability() indicates the system state expectations for activate. At
the DIMM level ->activate_state() indicates the per-DIMM state,
->activate_result() indicates the outcome of the last activation
attempt, and ->arm() attempts to transition the DIMM from 'idle' to
'armed'.

+==================================
+NVDIMM Runtime Firmware Activation
+==================================
+
+Some persistent memory devices run a firmware locally on the device /
+"DIMM" to perform tasks like media management, capacity provisioning,
+and health monitoring. The process of updating that firmware typically
+involves a reboot because it has implications for in-flight memory
+transactions. However, reboots are disruptive and at least the Intel
+persistent memory platform implementation, described by the Intel ACPI
+DSM specification [1], has added support for activating firmware at
+runtime.
+
+A native sysfs interface is implemented in libnvdimm to allow platform
+to advertise and control their local runtime firmware activation
+capability.
+
+The libnvdimm bus object, ndbusX, implements an ndbusX/firmware_activate
+attribute that shows the state of the firmware activation as one of 'idle',
+'armed', 'overflow', and 'busy'.
+
+- idle:
+  No devices are set / armed to activate firmware
+
+- armed:
+  At least one device is armed
+
+- busy:
+  In the busy state armed devices are in the process of transitioning
+  back to idle and completing an activation cycle.
+
+- overflow:
+  If the platform has a concept of incremental work needed to perform
+  the activation it could be the case that too many DIMMs are armed for
+  activation. In that scenario the potential for firmware activation to
+  timeout is indicated by the 'overflow' state.
+
+This property is optionally read-write if the platform implementation
+allows firmware-activation at run-time. Some activations may involve a
+memory controller quiesce that may trigger undefined behavior in devices
+actively performing DMA. On these platform firmware_activate is not
+writable and instead activation occurs over a suspend event.
+
+The libnvdimm memory-device / DIMM object, nmemX, implements
+nmemX/firmware_activate and nmemX/firmware_activate_result attributes to
+communicate the per-device firmware activation state. Similar to the
+ndbusX/firmware_activate attribute, the nmemX/firmware_activate
+attribute indicates 'idle', 'armed', or 'busy'. The state transitions
+from 'armed' to 'idle' when the system is prepared to activate firmware,
+firmware staged + state set to armed, and a system sleep state
+transition is triggered. After that activation event the
+nmemX/firmware_activate_result attribute reflects the state of the last
+activation as one of:
+
+- none:
+  No runtime activation triggered since the last time the device was reset
+
+- success:
+  The last runtime activation completed successfully.
+
+- fail:
+  The last runtime activation failed for device-specific reasons.
+
+- not_staged:
+  The last runtime activation failed due to a sequencing error of the
+  firmware image not being staged.
+
+- need_reset:
+  Runtime firmware activation failed, but the firmware can still be
+  activated via the legacy method of power-cycling the system.
