nvme: APST support
v3 cover nvme: APST support
As far as I can tell, APST works fine on every NVMe device I'm aware of with the single exception of a particular Samsung device. This series enables APST by default but quirks it off on the offending Samsung device. Some Samsung engineers are taking a look, and, depending on what they find, we may be able to change the quirk to work around the bug rather than disabling APST outright.
I think it would be nice to queue this up for 4.11.
Changes from v2:
- Remove a stray newline.
- Use switch when translating pm_qos args to latency (Christoph)
- I did *not* change the initialization sequence. If we want to do that, can it be a followup patch?
Changes from v1:
- Fix a totally wrong comment in the quirk code (me)
- Add a comment about not redetecting quirks after reset (Keith)
- Rearrange the series to avoid bisection problems (Jens)
Once fully applied, v1 and v2 only differ in their comments.
Changes from before:
- Rebased to linux-block/for-next.
- I added a quirk for the known-bad Samsung device.
- It's fully integrated with dev_pm_qos.
- I now program APST after all the queues are set up, which seems safer. (This didn't fix the Samsung problem, though.)

PATCH v3 1/2 nvme: Add a quirk mechanism that uses identify_ctrl
Currently, all NVMe quirks are based on PCI IDs. Add a mechanism to define quirks based on identify_ctrl's vendor id, model number, and/or firmware revision.

PATCH v3 2/2 nvme: Enable autonomous power state transitions
In reply to Andy LutomirskiNVMe devices can advertise multiple power states. These states can be either "operational" (the device is fully functional but possibly slow) or "non-operational" (the device is asleep until woken up). Some devices can automatically enter a non-operational state when idle for a specified amount of time and then automatically wake back up when needed.
The hardware configuration is a table. For each state, an entry in the table indicates the next deeper non-operational state, if any, to autonomously transition to and the idle time required before transitioning.
This patch teaches the driver to program APST so that each successive non-operational state will be entered after an idle time equal to 100% of the total latency (entry plus exit) associated with that state. The maximum acceptable latency is controlled using dev_pm_qos (e.g. power/pm_qos_latency_tolerance_us in sysfs); non-operational states with total latency greater than this value will not be used. As a special case, setting the latency tolerance to 0 will disable APST entirely. On hardware without APST support, the sysfs file will not be exposed.
The latency tolerance for newly-probed devices is set by the module parameter nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us.
In theory, the device can expose "default" APST table, but this doesn't seem to function correctly on my device (Samsung 950), nor does it seem particularly useful. There is also an optional mechanism by which a configuration can be "saved" so it will be automatically loaded on reset. This can be configured from userspace, but it doesn't seem useful to support in the driver.
On my laptop, enabling APST seems to save nearly 1W.
The hardware tables can be decoded in userspace with nvme-cli. 'nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvmeN' will show the power state table and 'nvme get-feature -f 0x0c -H /dev/nvme0' will show the current APST configuration.
This feature is quirked off on a known-buggy Samsung device.
I currently have the specific bus drivers (pci and rdma) calling nvme_configure_apst() directly so that APST is only enabled after all IO queues are set up. This way, if a device were to have a bug in which, say, admin queue reconfiguration while in an APST-induced idle state malfunctions, we won't trigger it. I have no evidence that bugs like this exist in the wild, but, if they did and we enabled APST in nvme_init_identify(), we would only trigger them sporadically and they would be annoying to track down.

James Smart pointed out that I missed FC. In my defense, I wrote this code before FC showed up :-/
The only decent argument I have for not just putting nvme_configure_apst() into nvme_init_identify() is the code in pci.c's nvme_setup_io_queues() that tears down the admin queue interrupt and the whole BAR mapping after nvme_init_identify(). This shouldn't be a problem, but it makes me a tiny bit nervous to have APST on when we do this -- is it plausible that something bad would happen if the NVMe device took a nap while we this happens?
Christoph, Keith, and/or Jens, any insight here? Maybe I should stop worrying about this and just move everything into nvme_init_identify().

I would much prefer to move the code to nvme_init_identify. The NVMe spec has no prohibition on taking down interrupts after setting up features. In fact there are all kinds of drivers that run NVMe devices without any interrupts at all.
