Re: Testing NVMe async commands

Hi, Sharma

As far as I know, we have UEFI SCT test suite to cover NVME_PASS_THRU async test. But it's not complex as your case.

As you have sent 210720 cmds, it's more like memory leak issue. Could you please only send 10000 cmds and compare the memory map change before and after? If there is big memory map change, then there should have memory leak. 

Thanks
Feng

Subject: [edk2] Testing NVMe async commands

We have developed an application to test the async flow in NvmExpressDxe. We have allocated a buffer of size 8 MB and in that buffer we are reading 128k chunks, which results in 64 commands as the async submission queue depth is 64, after calling passthru with the Event we increment a counter and inside the notification function we decrement the counter. After sending all the commands we wait till the counter becomes 0. After 64 reads are completed we issue 64 write command passing the buffer we have just read. So after 8 MB is done we increment the lba and repeat the same. In the application we are putting the starting lba of each 8 mb operation, so it increments as 0x0, 0x4000, 0x8000 as lba size of the device is 512 bytes. We are observing a hang at lba 0x66E4000, after processing 210720 commands.
We are creating and closing the events after each 8 MB read and write.
This stuck is seen consistently. May be there is something wrong we are doing in the application.

Please let me know if there is any reference UEFI application to test async ?
