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

**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:

 - :c:type:`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:

 - :c:type:`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 (:c:type:`nvme_mi_ep_t`)
   may provide access to multiple controllers - so each of the controller-
   type commands will require a :c:type:`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
   :c:type:`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 :c:type:`enum nvme_mi_resp_status <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.

(see :c:type:`nvme_mi_init_ctrl`).

Endpoints are created through a transport-specific constructor; currently
only MCTP-connected endpoints are supported, through :c:type:`nvme_mi_open_mctp`.
Subsequent operations on the endpoint (and related controllers) are
transport-independent.

**Parameters**

``nvme_mi_ep_t ep``
  :c:type:`nvme_mi_ep_t` object

**Return**

first MI controller object under this root, or NULL if no controllers
        are present.

**Description**

See: :c:type:`nvme_mi_next_ctrl`, :c:type:`nvme_mi_for_each_ctrl`


.. c:function:: nvme_mi_ctrl_t nvme_mi_next_ctrl (nvme_mi_ep_t ep, nvme_mi_ctrl_t c)

   Continue ctrl iterator

**Parameters**

``nvme_mi_ep_t ep``
  :c:type:`nvme_mi_ep_t` object

``nvme_mi_ctrl_t c``
  :c:type:`nvme_mi_ctrl_t` current position of iterator

**Return**

next MI controller object after **c** under this endpoint, or NULL

  :c:type:`nvme_mi_ep_t` containing endpoints

``c``
  :c:type:`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`()


.. c:macro:: nvme_mi_for_each_ctrl_safe

``nvme_mi_for_each_ctrl_safe (ep, c, _c)``

``_c``
  :c:type:`nvme_mi_ctrl_t` object used as temporary storage

**Description**

Allows iteration of the list of controllers behind an endpoint, safe against
deletion during iteration. Unless the controllers have already been created
explicitly (or you're just iterating to destroy controllers) 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`()


.. c:function:: nvme_mi_ep_t nvme_mi_open_mctp (nvme_root_t root, unsigned int netid, uint8_t eid)

**Parameters**

``nvme_root_t root``
  root object to create under

``unsigned int netid``
  MCTP network ID on this system

``uint8_t eid``

an endpoint is created, the rest of the API is transport-independent.

See :c:type:`nvme_mi_close`

**Return**

New endpoint object for **netid** & **eid**, or NULL on failure.


.. c:function:: void nvme_mi_close (nvme_mi_ep_t ep)

``nvme_mi_ep_t ep``
  Endpoint object to close


.. c:function:: nvme_root_t nvme_mi_scan_mctp (void)

   look for MCTP-connected NVMe-MI endpoints.

**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**

A **nvme_root_t** populated with a set of MCTP-connected endpoints,
        or NULL on failure


.. c:function:: int nvme_mi_scan_ep (nvme_mi_ep_t ep, bool force_rescan)

   query an endpoint for its NVMe controllers.

**Parameters**

``nvme_mi_ep_t ep``
  Endpoint to scan

  close existing controllers and rescan

**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: :c:type:`nvme_mi_for_each_ctrl`

**Return**

0 on success, non-zero on failure

   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: :c:type:`struct nvme_mi_admin_req_hdr <nvme_mi_admin_req_hdr>` and :c:type:`struct nvme_mi_admin_resp_hdr <nvme_mi_admin_resp_hdr>`.

**Return**

0 on success, non-zero on failure.

**Parameters**

``nvme_mi_ctrl_t ctrl``
  Controller to process identify command

``struct nvme_identify_args *args``
  Identify command arguments

``off_t offset``
  offset of identify data to retrieve from response

``size_t size``
  size of identify data to return

**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.
