At the moment, in order to get enough read parallelism, we have recycled
several lines at the same time. This approach has proven not to work
well when reaching capacity, since we end up mixing valid data from all
lines, thus not maintaining a sustainable free/recycled line ratio.
The new design, relies on a two level workqueue mechanism. In the first
level, we read the metadata for a number of lines based on the GC list
they reside on (this is governed by the number of valid sectors in each
line). In the second level, we recycle a single line at a time. Here, we
issue reads in parallel, while a single GC write thread places data in
the write buffer. This design allows to (i) only move data from one line
at a time, thus maintaining a sane free/recycled ration and (ii)
maintain the GC writer busy with recycled data.

At the moment, we separate the closed lines on three different list
based on their number of valid sectors. GC recycles lines from each list
based on capacity. Lines from each list are taken in a FIFO fashion.
Since the number of lines is limited (it corresponds to the number of
blocks in a LUN, which is somewhere between 1000-2000), we can afford
scanning the lists to choose the optimal line to be recycled. This helps
specially in lines with a high number of valid sectors.
If the number of blocks per LUN increases, we will consider a more
efficient policy.

At the moment, line metadata is persisted on a separate work queue, that
is kicked each time that a line is closed. The assumption when designing
this was that freeing the write thread from creating a new write request
was better than the potential impact of writes colliding on the media
(user I/O and metadata I/O). Experimentation has proven that this
assumption is wrong; collision can cause up to 25% of bandwidth and
introduce long tail latencies on the write thread, which potentially
cause user write threads to spend more time spinning to get a free entry
on the write buffer.
This patch moves the metadata logic to the write thread. When a line is
closed, remaining metadata is written in memory and is placed on a
metadata queue. The write thread then takes the metadata corresponding
to the previous line, creates the write request and schedules it to
minimize collisions on the media. Using this approach, we see that we
can saturate the media's bandwidth, which helps reducing both write
latencies and the spinning time for user writer threads.

Erase I/Os are scheduled with the following goals in mind: (i) minimize

to the default mapping algorithm.

can select an arbitrary line to be erased instead. It also gets rid of

Fix this atomic counter and, in order to avoid taking an irq lock on the

Also, in the case that a significant number of blocks become bad in a

This patch introduces pblk, a host-side translation layer for
Open-Channel SSDs to expose them like block devices. The translation
layer allows data placement decisions, and I/O scheduling to be
managed by the host, enabling users to optimize the SSD for their
specific workloads.
An open-channel SSD has a set of LUNs (parallel units) and a
collection of blocks. Each block can be read in any order, but
writes must be sequential. Writes may also fail, and if a block
requires it, must also be reset before new writes can be
applied.
To manage the constraints, pblk maintains a logical to
physical address (L2P) table, write cache, garbage
collection logic, recovery scheme, and logic to rate-limit
user I/Os versus garbage collection I/Os.
The L2P table is fully-associative and manages sectors at a
4KB granularity. Pblk stores the L2P table in two places, in
the out-of-band area of the media and on the last page of a
line. In the cause of a power failure, pblk will perform a
scan to recover the L2P table.
The user data is organized into lines. A line is data
striped across blocks and LUNs. The lines enable the host to
reduce the amount of metadata to maintain besides the user
data and makes it easier to implement RAID or erasure coding
in the future.
pblk implements multi-tenant support and can be instantiated
multiple times on the same drive. Each instance owns a
portion of the SSD - both regarding I/O bandwidth and
capacity - providing I/O isolation for each case.
Finally, pblk also exposes a sysfs interface that allows
user-space to peek into the internals of pblk. The interface
is available at /dev/block/*/pblk/ where * is the block
device name exposed.

In order to naturally support multi-target instances on an Open-Channel
SSD, targets should own the LUNs they get blocks from and manage
provisioning internally. This is done in several steps.
Since targets own the LUNs the are instantiated on top of and manage the
free block list internally, there is no need for a LUN abstraction in
the media manager. LUNs are intrinsically managed as in the physical
layout (ch:0,lun:0, ..., ch:0,lun:n, ch:1,lun:0, ch:1,lun:n, ...,
ch:m,lun:0, ch:m,lun:n) and given to the targets based on the target
creation ioctl. This simplifies LUN management and clears the path for a
partition manager to sit directly underneath LightNVM targets.

LUNs are exclusively owned by targets implementing a block device FTL.
Doing this reservation requires at the moment a 2-way callback gennvm
<-> target. The reason behind this is that LUNs were not assumed to
always be exclusively owned by targets. However, this design decision
goes against I/O determinism QoS (two targets would mix I/O on the same
parallel unit in the device).
This patch makes LUN reservation as part of the target creation on the
media manager. This makes that LUNs are always exclusively owned by the
target instantiated on top of them. LUN stripping and/or sharing should
be implemented on the target itself or the layers on top.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.
Since module_misc_driver translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.
We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.
We replace module.h with moduleparam.h because this file still uses

For a host to access an Open-Channel SSD, it has to know its geometry,
so that it writes and reads at the appropriate device bounds.
Currently, the geometry information is kept within the kernel, and not
exported to user-space for consumption. This patch exposes the
configuration through sysfs and enables user-space libraries, such as
liblightnvm, to use the sysfs implementation to get the geometry of an
Open-Channel SSD.
The sysfs entries are stored within the device hierarchy, and can be
found using the "lightnvm" device type.
An example configuration looks like this:

LightNVM compatible device drivers does not have a method to expose
LightNVM specific sysfs entries.
To enable LightNVM sysfs entries to be exposed, lightnvm device
drivers require a struct device to attach it to. To allow both the
actual device driver and lightnvm sysfs entries to coexist, the device
driver tracks the lifetime of the nvm_dev structure.
This patch refactors NVMe and null_blk to handle the lifetime of struct
nvm_dev, which eliminates the need for struct gendisk when a lightnvm

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.

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().

Users that wish to iterate all luns on a device. Must create a

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

The get block table command returns a list of blocks and planes

It was therefore natural to fold the bad block list before it is

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.

In rrpc, some calculations assume a certain configuration (e.g., 1 LUN,
1 sector per page). The reason behind this was that LightNVM used a
simple configuration with QEMU to test core features in the beginning.
This patch relaxes these assumptions and generalizes calculation,
allowing multiple luns to be used.

By default all blocks, except host-reserved blocks are erased upon

NVM_FACTORY_RESET_HOST_BLKS

An Open-Channel SSD shall be initialized before use. To initialize, we
define an on-disk format, that keeps a small set of metadata to bring up
the media manager on top of the device.
The initial step is introduced to allow a user to format the disks for a
given media manager. During format, a system block is stored on one to
three separate luns on the device. Each lun has the system block
duplicated. During initialization, the system block can be retrieved and
the appropriate media manager can initialized.
The on-disk format currently covers (struct nvm_system_block):
- Magic value "NVMS".
- Monotonic increasing sequence number.
- The physical block erase count.
- Version of the system block format.
- Media manager type.
- Media manager superblock physical address.
The interface provides three functions to manage the system block:
int nvm_init_sysblock(struct nvm_dev *, struct nvm_sb_info *)
int nvm_get_sysblock(struct nvm *dev, struct nvm_sb_info *)
int nvm_update_sysblock(struct nvm *dev, struct nvm_sb_info *)
Each implement a part of the logic to manage the system block. The
initialization creates the first system blocks and mark them on the
device. Get retrieves the latest system block by scanning all pages in
the associated system blocks. The update sysblock writes new metadata
and allocates new block if necessary.
