Hi,
Is there any way to get transport ID (and ns id) of an existing spdk_bdev? I think that
could be useful for the applications built upon bdev layer and want to know the transport
ID and namespace ID where the bdev is located, but I failed to find such kind of exported
interfaces.
I’m wondering if this controller information is deliberately being hidden behind bdev
layer? In our use case, we just want to get the association of bdev and ctrlr/ns for
configuration management purpose.
Thanks

Hi Yawei,
Generically the bdev layer won’t have anything like this but each bdev module supports its
own set of RPCs that are specific to the bdev. Take a look a the nvme bdev RPC
rpc_dump_nvme_controller_info() and see if it has what you need. New RPC’s can also be
added as makes sense for various use cases (depending on what your inputs are desired
outputs are)
Hope that helps….
Thx
Paul

There's no readily available way to get transoprt id for nvme, but
respective call may be added to nvme_ctrlr.c. One could the call it with
bdev_nvme provided controller as an argument.

Andrey

Hi Niu,
You can use spdk_bdev_dump_json_info() to get module-specific information related to a
given bdev. If the bdev is an NVMe namespace, this will include the transport ID.
I've prepared a patch that shows how to use this API:
https://review.spdk.io/gerrit/c/spdk/spdk/+/4881
In the callback, you can try manually parsing the string data to extract the
"pci_address" value. There is also the spdk_json_parse() API which is probably
a lot more code.

Thank you all for the responses, that's really helpful. I think we can use the way as
Jim suggested.
Thanks
