From 40267efddc296190d50c61d96daf277151447cf6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Simon A. F.

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 ├── erase_max: 1000000 ├── erase_typ: 1000000 ├── flash_media_type: 0 ├── media_capabilities: 0x00000001 ├── media_type: 0 ├── multiplane: 0x00010101 ├── num_blocks: 1022 ├── num_channels: 1 ├── num_luns: 4 ├── num_pages: 64 ├── num_planes: 1 ├── page_size: 4096 ├── prog_max: 100000 ├── prog_typ: 100000 ├── read_max: 10000 ├── read_typ: 10000 ├── sector_oob_size: 0 ├── sector_size: 4096 ├── media_manager: gennvm ├── ppa_format: 0x380830082808001010102008 ├── vendor_opcode: 0 ├── max_phys_secs: 64 └── version: 1 Signed-off-by: Simon A.
