2016-07-07lightnvm: rename gennvm and update descriptionMatias Bjørling
The generic manager should be called the general media manager, and instead of using the rather long name of "gennvm" in front of each data structures, use "gen" instead to shorten it. Update the description of the media manager as well to make the media manager purpose clearer. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-07-07lightnvm: remove open/close statistics for gennvmMatias Bjørling
The responsibility of the media manager is not to keep track of open/closed blocks. This is better maintained within a target, that already manages this information on writes. Remove the statistics and merge the states NVM_BLK_ST_OPEN and NVM_BLK_ST_CLOSED. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2016-05-06lightnvm: expose gennvm_mark_blk to targetsMatias Bjørling
Targets can update a block state when having a reference to an in-memory virtual block. In the case that a target does not keep the block metadata in memory, it does not have a way to update this structure. Therefore, expose gennvm_mark_blk() through the media managers ->mark_blk() callback and let targets update the state structure through this callback.

2016-05-06lightnvm: do not assume sequential lun alloc.Javier González
When doing GC, rrpc calculates the physical LUN to which the rrpc block belongs too. This calculation is based on the assumption that LUNs are assigned sequentially to the LUN list. Use the reference to the LUN instead. This saves us the calculation and allows us to align LUNs in a different manner to, for example, take advantage of devide parallelism.

2016-05-06lightnvm: fix out of bound ppa lun id on bb tblMatias Bjørling
The ppa configured for retrieving the bad block table uses the internal lun id to setup the get bad block ppa. This increases monotonically with the number luns available. When configuring a ppa, the channel and lun must be specified separately, leading to an out of bound memory access in gennvm_block_bb when lun id goes beyond the luns available within a channel. Additional, remove out of bound check in gennvm_block_bb(), as it was a buggy to begin with. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-05-06lightnvm: refactor set_bb_tbl for accepting ppa listMatias Bjørling

2016-05-06lightnvm: move responsibility for bad blk mgmt to targetMatias Bjørling

2016-05-06lightnvm: make nvm_set_rqd_ppalist() aware of vblksMatias Bjørling
A virtual block enables a block to identify multiple physical blocks. This is useful for metadata where a device media supports multiple planes. In that case, a block, with multiple planes can be managed as a single vblk. Reducing the metadata required by one forth. nvm_set_rqd_ppalist() takes care of expanding a ppa_list with vblks automatically. However, for some use-cases, where only a single physical block is required, the ppa_list should not be expanded. Therefore, add a vblk parameter to nvm_set_rqd_ppalist(), and only expand the ppa_list if vblk is set. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2016-05-06lightnvm: refactor device ops->get_bb_tbl()Matias Bjørling
The device ops->get_bb_tbl() takes a callback, that allows the caller to use its own callback function to update its data structures in the returning function. This makes it difficult to send parameters to the callback, and usually is circumvented by small private structures, that both carry the callers state and any flags needed to fulfill the update. Refactor ops->get_bb_tbl() to fill a data buffer with the status of the blocks returned, and let the user call the callback function manually. That will provide the necessary flags and data structures and simplify the logic around ops->get_bb_tbl(). Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-05-06lightnvm: introduce nvm_for_each_lun_ppa() macroMatias Bjørling
Users that wish to iterate all luns on a device. Must create a struct ppa_addr and separate iterators for channels and luns. To set the iterators, two loops are required, one to iterate channels, and another to iterate luns. This leads to decrease in readability. Introduce nvm_for_each_lun_ppa, which implements the nested loop and sets ppa, channel, and lun variable for each loop body, eliminating the boilerplate code.

2016-05-06lightnvm: refactor dev->online_target to global nvm_targetsSimon A. F. Lund
A target name must be unique. However, a per-device registration of targets is maintained on a dev->online_targets list, with a per-device search for targets upon registration.

2016-05-06lightnvm: move block fold outside of get_bb_tbl()Matias Bjørling
The get block table command returns a list of blocks and planes with their associated state. Users, such as gennvm and sysblk, manages all planes as a single virtual block. It was therefore natural to fold the bad block list before it is returned. However, to allow users, which manages on a per-plane block level, to also use the interface, the get_bb_tbl interface is changed to not fold by default and instead let the caller fold if necessary.

2016-03-18lightnvm: do not load L2P table if not supportedJavier González
An Open-Channel SSD can work on two modes: (i) hybrid mode, where the L2P table is maintained both by the host and by the device; and (ii) full host-based, where the L2P table is uniquely maintained by the host.

2016-03-18lightnvm: do not reserve lun on l2p loadingJavier González
When the l2p table is loaded, addresses are checked for the lun they belong to and luns are reserved accordingly. This assumes that metadata is being stored in the backend device to recover the previous target configuration. Since this is not yet implemented, this check collides with some of the core initialization (e.g., sysblock initialization when a page is formed by several sectors). We take this check out and for now rely on that the right target will be created instead. When metadata is stored to recover a target, this check will come natural as part of the recovery strategy.
