Targets can update a block state when having a reference to an

cca87bc9d3 lightnvm: do not assume sequential lun alloc.
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.

293a6e8e27 lightnvm: fix out of bound ppa lun id on bb tbl
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.

5ebc7d9fe1 lightnvm: make nvm_set_rqd_ppalist() aware of vblks
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.

e11903f5df lightnvm: refactor device ops->get_bb_tbl()
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().

719b59172c lightnvm: do not reserve lun on l2p loading
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.

afb18e0ed8 lightnvm: generalize rrpc ppa calculations
In rrpc, some calculations assume a certain configuration (e.g., 1 LUN,

System block allows the device to initialize with its configured media
manager. The system blocks is written to disk, and read again when media
manager is determined. For this to work, the backend must store the
data. Device drivers, such as null_blk, does not have any backend
storage. This patch allows the media manager to be initialized without a
storage backend.

It also fix incorrect configuration of capabilities in null_blk, as it

Now that a device can be managed using the system blocks, a method to
reset the device is necessary as well. This patch introduces logic to
reset the device easily to factory state and exposes it through an
ioctl.

The ioctl takes the following flags:

  NVM_FACTORY_ERASE_ONLY_USER
      By default all blocks, except host-reserved blocks are erased upon
      factory reset. Instead of this, only erase host-reserved blocks.
  NVM_FACTORY_RESET_HOST_BLKS

e3eb3799f7 lightnvm: core on-disk initialization
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.

NAND MLC memories have both lower and upper pages. When programming,
both of these must be written, before data can be read. However,
these lower and upper pages might not placed at even and odd flash
pages, but can be skipped. Therefore each flash memory has its lower
pages defined, which can then be used when programming and to know when
padding are necessary.

ff0e498bfa lightnvm: manage open and closed blocks separately
LightNVM targets need to know the state of the flash block when doing
flash optimizations. An example is implementing a write buffer to
respect the flash page size. Currently, block state is not accounted
for; the media manager only differentiates among free, bad and in-use
blocks.

This patch adds the logic in the generic media manager to enable
targets manage blocks into open and close separately, and it implements
such management in rrpc. It also adds a set of flags to describe the
state of the block (open, closed, free, bad).

In order to avoid taking two locks (nvm_lun and rrpc_lun) consecutively,
we introduce lockless get_/put_block primitives so that the open and
close list locks and future common logic is handled within the nvm_lun
lock.

Sync I/O can then be implemented using a callback that signal I/O

7386af270c lightnvm: remove linear and device addr modes
The linear and device specific address modes can be replaced with a
simple offset and bit length conversion that is generic across all
devices.

This both simplifies the specification and removes the special case for
qemu nvme, that previously relied on the linear address mapping.

edad2e6606 lightnvm: prematurely activate nvm_dev
We register with nvm_devices when there registration can still fail.
Move the final registration at the end of the nvm_register function
to make sure we are fully registered when added to the nvm_devices list.

1145046983 lightnvm: update bad block table format
The specification was changed to reflect a multi-value bad block table.
Instead of bit-based bad block table, the bad block table now allows
eight bad block categories. Currently four are defined:

 * Factory bad blocks
 * Grown bad blocks
 * Device-side reserved blocks
 * Host-side reserved blocks

The factory and grown bad blocks are the regular bad blocks. The
reserved blocks are either for internal use or external use. In
particular, the device-side reserved blocks allows the host to
bootstrap from a limited number of flash blocks. Reducing the flash
blocks to scan upon super block initialization.

Support for both get bad block table and set bad block table is added.

b7ceb7d500 lightnvm: refactor phys addrs type to u64
For cases where CONFIG_LBDAF is not set. The struct ppa_addr exceeds its
type on 32 bit architectures. ppa_addr requires a 64bit integer to hold
the generic ppa format. We therefore refactor it to u64 and
replaces the sector_t usages with u64 for physical addresses.

48add0f5a6 gennvm: Generic NVM manager
The implementation for Open-Channel SSDs is divided into media
management and targets. This patch implements a generic media manager
for open-channel SSDs. After a media manager has been initialized,
single or multiple targets can be instantiated with the media managed as
the backend.

cd9e9808d1 lightnvm: Support for Open-Channel SSDs
Open-channel SSDs are devices that share responsibilities with the host
in order to implement and maintain features that typical SSDs keep
strictly in firmware. These include (i) the Flash Translation Layer
(FTL), (ii) bad block management, and (iii) hardware units such as the
flash controller, the interface controller, and large amounts of flash
chips. In this way, Open-channels SSDs exposes direct access to their
physical flash storage, while keeping a subset of the internal features
of SSDs.

LightNVM is a specification that gives support to Open-channel SSDs
LightNVM allows the host to manage data placement, garbage collection,
and parallelism. Device specific responsibilities such as bad block
management, FTL extensions to support atomic IOs, or metadata
persistence are still handled by the device.

The implementation of LightNVM consists of two parts: core and
(multiple) targets. The core implements functionality shared across
targets. This is initialization, teardown and statistics. The targets
implement the interface that exposes physical flash to user-space
applications. Examples of such targets include key-value store,
object-store, as well as traditional block devices, which can be
application-specific.
