lightnvm: add a bitmap of luns

2016-03-19T01:10:38+00:00

Add a bitmap of luns to indicate the status
of luns: inuse/available. When create targets
do the necessary check to avoid allocating luns
that are already allocated.

lightnvm: specify target's logical address area

2016-03-19T01:10:37+00:00

We can create more than one target on a lightnvm
device by specifying its begin lun and end lun.

But only specify the physical address area is not
enough, we need to get the corresponding non-
intersection logical address area division from
the backend device's logcial address space.
Otherwise the targets on the device might use
the same logical addresses cause incorrect
information in the device's l2p table.

Merge branch 'for-4.6/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2016-03-19T00:13:31+00:00

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the block driver pull request for this merge window.  It sits
  on top of for-4.6/core, that was just sent out.

  This contains:

   - A set of fixes for lightnvm.  One from Alan, fixing an overflow,
     and the rest from the usual suspects, Javier and Matias.

   - A set of fixes for nbd from Markus and Dan, and a fixup from Arnd
     for correct usage of the signed 64-bit divider.

   - A set of bug fixes for the Micron mtip32xx, from Asai.

   - A fix for the brd discard handling from Bart.

   - Update the maintainers entry for cciss, since that hardware has
     transferred ownership.

   - Three bug fixes for bcache from Eric Wheeler.

   - Set of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Jan and Konrad.

   - Removal of the cpqarray driver.  It has been disabled in Kconfig
     since 2013, and we were initially scheduled to remove it in 3.15.

   - Various updates and fixes for NVMe, with the most important being:

        - Removal of the per-device NVMe thread, replacing that with a
          watchdog timer instead. From Christoph.

        - Exposing the namespace WWID through sysfs, from Keith.

        - Set of cleanups from Ming Lin.

        - Logging the controller device name instead of the underlying
          PCI device name, from Sagi.

        - And a bunch of fixes and optimizations from the usual suspects
          in this area"

lightnvm: remove struct nvm_dev->total_blocks

2016-03-03T21:46:35+00:00

The struct nvm_dev->total_blocks was only used for calculating total
sectors. Remove and instead calculate total sectors from the number of
luns and its sectors.

lightnvm: rename ->nr_pages to ->nr_sects

2016-03-03T21:46:35+00:00

The struct rrpc->nr_pages can easily be interpreted as the number of
flash pages allocated to rrpc, while it is the nr_sects. Make sure that
this is reflected from the variable name.

lightnvm: fold get bb tbl when using dual/quad plane mode

2016-03-03T21:45:53+00:00

When the media manager runs in dual or quad plane mode, lightnvm
abstracts away plane specific commands. This poses a problem for
get bad block table, as it reports bad blocks per plane, making the
table either two or four times bigger than expected. Fold the bad block
list before returning.

lightnvm: fix up nonsensical configure overrun checking

2016-03-03T21:45:53+00:00

Instead of checking a constant 0 actually check the space available. Even
better remember to allow for the header and also check the right amount of
space is needed.

lightnvm: allow to force mm initialization

2016-02-04T16:19:45+00:00

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
does not support get/set bad block interface.

lightnvm: introduce factory reset

2016-01-12T15:21:18+00:00

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
      Mark host-reserved blocks to be erased and set their type to free.
  NVM_FACTORY_RESET_GRWN_BBLKS
      Mark "grown bad blocks" to be erased and set their type to free.

lightnvm: use system block for mm initialization

2016-01-12T15:21:18+00:00

Use system block information to register the appropriate media manager.
This enables the LightNVM subsystem to instantiate a media manager
selected by the user, instead of relying on automatic detection by each
media manager loaded in the kernel.

A device must now be initialized before it can proceed to initialize its
media manager. Upon initialization, the configured media manager is
automatically initialized as well.
