Members
CDW0
A NVME_COMMAND_DWORD0 structure containing parameters that are common for all Admin and NVM commands.
NSID
The namespace ID that this command applies to.
If the namespace ID is not used for the command, then this field should cleared to 0h. If a command is applied to all namespaces accessible by this controller, then this field should be set to FFFFFFFFh.
Unless otherwise noted, specifying an inactive namespace ID in a command that uses the namespace ID will cause the controller to abort the command with the status NVME_STATUS_INVALID_FIELD_IN_COMMAND. Specifying an invalid namespace ID in a command that uses the namespace ID will cause the controller to abort the command with the status NVME_STATUS_INVALID_NAMESPACE_OR_FORMAT.
Reserved0[2]
MPTR
The address of a contiguous physical buffer of metadata.
This field is only used if metadata is not interleaved with the logical block data, as specified in the MS field of the NVME_CDW10_FORMAT_NVM command structure. This field is Dword aligned.
PRP1
A NVME_PRP_ENTRY structure that contains the first PRP entry for the command or a PRP List pointer depending on the command.
PRP2
This field is reserved if the data transfer does not cross a memory page boundary. Otherwise, it contains a NVME_PRP_ENTRY structure that:
Specifies the Page Base Address of the second memory page if the data transfer crosses exactly one memory page boundary. For example, in one of the following situations:
- The command data transfer length is equal in size to one memory page and the offset portion of the Page Base Address and Offset (PBAO) field of PRP1 is non-zero.
- The Offset portion of the PBAO field of PRP1 is equal to zero and the command data transfer length is greater than one memory page and less than or equal to two memory pages in size.
Is a PRP List pointer if the data transfer crosses more than one memory page boundary. For example, in one of the following situations:
- The command data transfer length is greater than or equal to two memory pages in size but the offset portion of the PBAO field of PRP1 is non-zero.
- The command data transfer length is equal in size to more than two memory pages and the Offset portion of the PBAO field of PRP1 is equal to zero.
