Embodiments of the invention relate generally to data storage systems. Embodiments of the invention also relate to transmissions of frames of an SSD across a transmission path.
The background description provided herein is for the purpose of generally presenting the context of the disclosure of the invention. Work of the presently named inventors, to the extent the work is described in this background section, as well as aspects of the description that may not otherwise qualify as prior art at the time of filing, are neither expressly nor impliedly admitted as prior art against this present disclosure of the invention.
In a computer system, a data bus transfers data among and between components of the computer system. For example, data is transferred between a Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the computer and a memory or data storage.
Storage devices such as, for example, Solid State Drives (SSDs), can connect to an input/output (I/O) bus of a computer host. One example of such an I/O bus is a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) computer expansion bus or a similar type of computer bus. However, there is a continuing need to overcome the constraints or disadvantages of current conventional systems.
Embodiments of the invention relate generally to data storage systems. Embodiments of the invention also relate to transmissions of frames of an SSD (solid state drive) across a transmission path.
Embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus and method on how to send SCSI-compliant (Small Computer System Interface compliant) frames of an SSD across a PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) bus, when there is no standard protocol yet in PCIe buses for SSD communications.
An embodiment of the invention also provides an exchange message protocol (EMP) that is used to transfer data frames between a host-side and a memory device side (e.g., non-volatile memory device(s)).
In an embodiment of the invention, a method comprises: transmitting, by a host side, an exchange message protocol (EMP) command frame to a memory device side; informing, by the host side, the memory device side to process the command frame; executing, by the memory device side, the command frame; and transmitting, by the memory device side, an EMP response frame to the host side, in response to the command frame.
In another embodiment of the invention, an apparatus comprises: a host side configured to transmit an exchange message protocol (EMP) command frame to a memory device side; wherein the host side is configured to inform the memory device side to process the command frame; wherein the memory device side is configured to execute the command frame; and wherein the memory device side is configured to transmit an EMP response frame to the host side, in response to the command frame.
In yet another embodiment of the invention, an article of manufacture, comprises: a non-transient computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that permit a method comprising: transmitting, by a host side, an exchange message protocol (EMP) command frame to a memory device side; informing, by the host side, the memory device side to process the command frame; executing, by the memory device side, the command frame; and transmitting, by the memory device side, an EMP response frame to the host side, in response to the command frame.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate one (several) embodiment(s) of the invention and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
Non-limiting and non-exhaustive embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the following figures, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the various views unless otherwise specified.
It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the present invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the various embodiments of the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art will realize that these various embodiments of the present invention are illustrative only and are not intended to be limiting in any way. Other embodiments of the present invention will readily suggest themselves to such skilled persons having the benefit of this disclosure.
In addition, for clarity purposes, not all of the routine features of the embodiments described herein are shown or described. One of ordinary skill in the art would readily appreciate that in the development of any such actual implementation, numerous implementation-specific decisions may be required to achieve specific design objectives. These design objectives will vary from one implementation to another and from one developer to another. Moreover, it will be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time-consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine engineering undertaking for those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure. The various embodiments disclosed herein are not intended to limit the scope and spirit of the herein disclosure.
Exemplary embodiments for carrying out the principles of the present invention are described herein with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specifically described and illustrated embodiments. A person skilled in the art will appreciate that many other embodiments are possible without deviating from the basic concept of the invention. Therefore, the principles of the present invention extend to any work that falls within the scope of the appended claims.
As used herein, the terms “a” and “an” herein do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced items.
In the following description and in the claims, the terms “include” and “comprise” are used in an open-ended fashion, and thus should be interpreted to mean “include, but not limited to . . . ”. Also, the term “couple” (or “coupled”) is intended to mean either an indirect or direct electrical connection (or an indirect or direct optical connection). Accordingly, if one device is coupled to another device, then that connection may be through a direct electrical (or optical) connection, or through an indirect electrical (or optical) connection via other devices and/or other connections.
When the system 100 has initialized and is under normal operation, a software/program 101 (run by the processor requests for the SSD access), for example, will do a read transaction to read data from one or more non-volatile memory devices 102 in the flash storage module 103 or do a write transaction to write data to one or more non-volatile memory devices 102 in the flash storage module 103. Typically, the one or more memory devices 102 form a memory device array 104 in the flash module 103. The memory device array 104 is coupled via a flash interface 105 to a flash memory controller 106.
The flash storage module 103 is coupled via a flash bus 107 (or memory bus 107) to a Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller 108. The DMA controller 108 is coupled via a DMA bus interface 114 to a system bus 109.
A processor 110, system memory 111, and a software/program 101 (run by processor) are all coupled to the system bus 109. The system 100 can include more than one a software/program 101, more than one processor 110, and/or more than one system memory 111. Additionally or alternatively, the system 100 can include more than one DMA controller 108 and more than one flash storage module 103. In an embodiment of the invention that includes a plurality of flash storage modules 103 and a plurality of DMA controllers 108, wherein each flash storage module 103 is coupled via a respective flash bus 107 to a respective DMA controller 108, the plurality of flash storage modules 103 will form an array (not shown) of flash storage modules 103.
System bus 109 is a conduit or data path for transferring data between DMA controller 108, processor 110, system memory 111, and software/program 101. Processor 110, DMA controller 108, and software/program 101 may access system memory 111 via system bus 109 as needed. System memory 111 may be implemented using any form of memory, such as, for example, various types of DRAM (dynamic random access memory), non-volatile memory, or other types of memory devices.
A request 115 for a memory transaction (e.g., read or write transaction) from software/program 101, typically in the form of an input-output descriptor command, is destined for the processor 110. Descriptor commands are detailed instructions to be executed by an engine or a module. The processor 110 interprets that the input-output descriptor command intends to read from memory devices 102 in the flash storage module 103 or intends to write to memory devices 102 in the flash storage module 103. The processor 110 is in-charge of issuing all the needed descriptors to one or more Direct Memory Access (DMA) controllers 108 to execute a read memory transaction or write memory transaction in response to the request 115. Therefore, the DMA controller 108, flash memory controller 106, and processor 110 allow at least one device, such as a software/program 101, to communicate with memory devices 102 within the data storage apparatus 100. Operating under a program control (such as a control by software or firmware), the processor 110 analyzes and responds to a memory transaction request 115 by generating DMA instructions that will cause the DMA controller 108 to read data from or write data to the flash devices 102 in a flash storage module 103 through the flash memory controller 106. If this data is available, the flash memory controller 106 retrieves this data, which is transferred to system memory 111 by the DMA controller 108. Data obtained during this memory read transaction request is hereinafter named “read data”. Similarly, write data provided by software/program 101 will cause the DMA controller 108 to write data to the flash devices 102 through the flash memory controller 106.
A non-volatile memory device 102 in the flash storage module 103 may be, for example, a flash device. This flash device may be implemented by using a flash memory device that complies with the Open NAND Flash Interface Specification, commonly referred to as ONFI Specification. The term “ONFI Specification” is a known device interface standard created by a consortium of technology companies known as the “ONFI Workgroup”. The ONFI Workgroup develops open standards for NAND Flash memory devices and for devices that communicate with these NAND flash memory devices. The ONFI Workgroup is headquartered in Hillsboro, Oreg. Using a flash device that complies with the ONFI Specification is not intended to limit the embodiment(s) disclosed herein. One of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure would readily recognize that other types of flash devices employing different device interface protocols may be used, such as protocols that are compatible with the standards created through the Non-Volatile Memory Host Controller Interface (NVMHCI) working group. Members of the NVMHCI working group include Intel Corporation of Santa Clara, Calif., Dell Inc. of Round Rock, Tex., and Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Wash.
Those skilled in the art with the benefit of this disclosure will realize that there can be multiple components in the system 100 such as, for example, multiple processors, multiple memory arrays, multiple DMA controllers, and/or multiple flash controllers.
As known to those skilled in the art, in a PCIe system, a root complex PCI device connects the processor and memory subsystem to the PCI Express switch fabric that comprises one or more switch devices, and similar to a host bridge in a PCI system, the root complex generates transaction requests on behalf of the processor which is interconnected through a local bus. Root complex functionality may be implemented as a discrete device, or may be it grated with the processor. A root complex may contain more than one PCI Express port and multiple switch devices can be connected to ports on the root complex or cascaded.
The endpoint PCI device 410 can be an EMP port 410 such as, for example, an embedded disk card (EDC). An EDC can include the flash storage module 103 in
As known to those skilled in the art, PCIe BAR mapping involves mapping a PCIe device into the memory-mapped address space (or other I/O address space) of the computer system. This mapping enables the computer system to address PCIe devices. As also known to those skilled in the art, drivers or an operating system can program the Base Address Registers (BARs). During system startup, PCIe devices are usually identified, numbered, and then addressed. The Peripheral Component Interconnect Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG) provides specifications for PCIe and other computer bus technologies.
In
The EMP Port 410 exposes the sets of registers 430. The EMP Port 410 includes a second memory region 435 that contains the sets of registers 430. The EMP Host 405 can control the behavior and can determine the current status of EMP Port 420 by accessing the memory-mapped view of the EMP registers 430 as viewed by Bar 1440.
BAR 0415 AND BAR 1440 are mapping of the of the EMP port 410 in the memory-mapped address space (or other I/O address space) of the EMP host 405.
The mailbox 450 is a region of memory that the EMP Host 405 uses to pass synchronous commands 455 to the EMP Port 420.
The mailbox 450 is a mailbox memory that resides in the memory of the EDC 420. The memory area used for the mailbox 450 is typically only big enough to hold a single command 455. As discussed above, typically, the EMP Host 405 accesses the mailbox memory 450 through BAR 0415.
The EMP Host 405 places a mailbox command 455 in the mailbox 450 and this placement of the mailbox command 455 signals (and informs) the EMP Port 420 when there is a command frame 205 (
This method disclosed in
Mailbox commands 455 are defined to aid in the communication between the EMP Host 405 and EMP Port 410 during initialization and configuration.
Reference is now made to
In an embodiment of the invention, a ring is a feature that implements asynchronous communication between the EMP Host 405 and the EMP Port 410. The ring allows multiple outstanding commands and responses to be processed.
The actual structure of each ring is composed of two memory arrays, a Command Ring 505 and Response Ring 510. The Command Ring 505 has a set comprising a Command Get pointer 515 and a Command Put pointer 520. Similarly, the Response Ring 510 has a set comprising a Response Get pointer 525 and a Response Put pointer 530. A Command Ring 505 has a plurality of memory areas 540 for receiving ring values (entries) and a Response Ring 510 has a plurality of memory areas 540 for receiving ring values (entries).
The rings 505 and 510 are allocated in a memory area of the EMP Port 410 (EDC or memory device side 410) in
The get and put pointers allow the insertion and removal of ring entries. When the get and put pointers contain the same value, the ring is considered empty. In
When the put pointer contains a value immediately before the get pointer, the ring is full. In
Similarly, in
One or more commands 550 are placed in the Command Ring 505 by EMP Host 405 and the EMP Port 410 is signaled that work is available for the EMP Port 410 to process at least one of the commands 550. The EMP Port 410 will process each command 550 and as the EMP Port 410 completes the processing of each command 550, the EMP Port 410 will put a respective response 555 (corresponding to the processed command 550) in the Response Ring 510 and notify the EMP Host 405 that one or more responses 555 are available. A format of a frame 205 of a command 550 is shown in
The host 405 posts EMP command frames 715(0) through 715(N), where N is an integer, to the Command Ring 505, where the host 405 will posts the command frames starting from the Command Ring Base Address 720(0) through Command Ring Address 720(N). Therefore, the EMP host 405 posts the command frames 715(0), 715(1), 715(2), 715(3), up to 715(N) to the Command Ring Addresses 720(0), 720(1), 720(2), 720(3), up to 720(N), respectively. The posted command frames are shown as command ring entries in the command ring addresses. For example, the posted command frames are Command Ring Entry0, Command Ring Entry1, Command Ring Entry2, Command Ring Entry3, and up to Command Ring EntryN in command ring addresses 720(0), 720(1), 720(2), 720(3), up to 720(N), respectively.
The host 405 tracks EMP response frames 730(0) through 730(N), where N is an integer, from the Response Ring 510, where the EMP Port 410 will posts the response frames starting from the Response Ring Base Address 735(0) through Response Ring Address 735(N). Therefore, the EMP Port 410 posts the response frames 730(0), 730(1), 730(2), 73o(3), up to 730(N) to the Respond Ring Addresses 735(0), 735(1), 735(2), 730(3), up to 730(N), respectively, prior to the EMP Port 410 transmitting the response frames 730(0) to 730(N) to the host 405. The posted response frames are shown as response ring entries in the response ring addresses. For example, the posted response frames are Response Ring Entry0, Response Ring Entry1, Response Ring Entry2, Response Ring Entry3, and up to Response Ring EntryN in response ring addresses 735(0), 735(1), 735(2), 735(3), up to 735(N), respectively.
The EMP host 405 includes a Command Send Module(s) 740 that sends the commands 550 to the EMP Port 410 via PCIe bus 715 and the EMP Port 410 posts these commands 550 in the command ring 505. In an embodiment of the invention, the module(s) 740 can also increment the command put pointer 520 and response get pointer 525. As discussed above with reference to
The EMP host 405 includes a Response Receive Module(s) 745 that reads the Command Get pointer 515 and Response Put pointer 530 which have been updated by the EMP Port 410 prior to the EMP Port 410 posting and releasing a ring entry (response 555) via PCIe bus 715. As similarly discussed above, the EMP Port 410 posts the responses 555 in the response ring 510. In an embodiment of the invention, the EMP Port 410 will increment the command get pointer 515 and response put pointer 530 prior to posting and releasing an entry (response) 555 in the response ring 510. In an embodiment of the invention, the EMP Port 410 will post and release a response 555.
At 810, the host side 405 informs the memory device side 410 to process the command frame 205. For example, the host side 405 transmit a mailbox message 455 to the memory device side 410 to inform the memory device side 410 to process the command frame 205. In an embodiment of the invention the operations at 805 occurs prior to the operations at 810. In another embodiment of the invention, the operations at 805 occurs after the operations at 810. In another embodiment of the invention, the operations at 805 and 810 can occur concurrently or can occur in a substantially concurrent manner.
At 815, the memory device side 410 executes the command frame 205.
At 820, the memory device side 410 transmits an EMP response frame 305 to the host side 405, in response to the command frame 205.
