<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The other major topic is memory usage in dump mode: I have reserved 5x 64KB, the actually usage is about 2.2x 64KB. The bulk of them is used by LunExt (0x11000=68KB), almost half. The variable size of all IO
queues are very tiny, along other normal usage. 4x 64KB is probably enough, but to double this 2.2 to 5 is more prudent choice, IMO and that is the value that has been tested all along.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in">1.<span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> </span>I am surprised that there are no ntldrDump checks around the DPC initialization and calls. I wouldn’t have expected the

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in">2.<span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>In function NVMeAllocateMem, the ntldrDump check is wrapped such that if no buffer is allocated from the DumpBuffer, the code path could end up calling StorPortAllocateContiguousMemory in ntldrDump mode. Will this cause a BSOD? Or will it just fail?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in">3.<span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>In RecoveryDpcRoutine new code has been added above the reset adapter call not related to ntldrDump. If the controller isn’t responding, this additional delay time could cause a DPC watchdog timeout bugcheck if the maximum time allowed for a DPC is
exceeded. I have some concerns about this new code, what was your reasoning for adding it? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Ensuring CSTS.RDY == 0 before setting CC.EN to ‘1’ is required by the spec – it is a necessary part of enabling the adapter. Therefore it is not overloading the function and should be kept together. It is
a sanity check that needs to take place <u>immediately </u>before writing CC.EN. They should not be separated by other blocks of code. That is not flexibility, it is a design flaw in my opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I don’t see how it could possibly result in any destabilization of major features to make sure the RDY bit is not on before setting EN bit in the routine which is dedicated to enabling the controller. If you
are worried about removing other checks for CSTS.RDY == 0, then by all means, leave them in. It doesn’t a hurt a thing to have those xtra check points in the two non-runtime paths you mentioned.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Conversely, it does potentially hurt to not have an explicit check in the NVMeEnableAdapter itself.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As I mentioned previously, there is no check in the PassiveInitialization path for CSTS.RDY == 0 before calling NVMeEnableAdapter in the current code; so we are still violating the spec if we don’t enhance
your current changes one way or the other.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks for your input. I agreed with what you trying to achieve. I also think that block of cycling CC.EN 1->0 can be further refactored into one standalone helper function, to be called by RecoveryDpcRoutine()

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The major change is to enable ntldrDump mode so that during crash dump or hibernation, the system memory can be dumped to pre-allocated block locations (MEMORY.DMP or HIBERFIL.SYS file). The same nvme.sys driver
will be reloaded as another image into strict dumbed-down environment where usual APIs are not available anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The next challenge is to re-initialize the controller properly after having resumed from hibernation image and to continue serve as system boot disk.

A: refactored code into NVMeWaitForCtrlRDY() for waiting after setting CC.EN = 1.<br>
B: introduced same waiting logic after clearing CC.EN = 0.<br>
C: during power up, Reset will issue DPC to call RecoveryDpcRoutine() to re-initialize the driver, similarly the above A+B steps are introduced.
<br>
<br>
Using trunk version code, the hardware I have always timed out on initialization. I have had this fix since this spring. I think it is the same issue listed in Kwok’s laundry list. But I would need Judy to verify whether the issue she found is fixed or not
by this change.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is the code change to support crash dump and hibernation. Please review. Hopefully we can wrap up by this week before the meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Using the trunk version I had problem with the initialization as well. The trunk version would timeout on me. I think it is the same
