lightnvm: allow to init targets on factory mode

2017-04-16T16:06:25Z

Target initialization has two responsibilities: creating the target partition and instantiating the target. This patch enables to create a factory partition (e.g., do not trigger recovery on the given target). This is useful for target development and for being able to restore the device state at any moment in time without requiring a full-device erase.

lightnvm: rename scrambler controller hint

2017-04-16T16:06:25Z

According to the OCSSD 1.2 specification, the 0x200 hint enables the media scrambler for the read/write opcode, providing that the controller has been correctly configured by the firmware. Rename the macro to represent this meaning. Signed-off-by: Javier González Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: submit erases using the I/O path

2017-04-16T16:06:25Z

Until now erases have been submitted as synchronous commands through a dedicated erase function. In order to enable targets implementing asynchronous erases, refactor the erase path so that it uses the normal async I/O submission functions. If a target requires sync I/O, it can implement it internally. Also, adapt rrpc to use the new erase path. Signed-off-by: Javier González Fixed spelling error.

lightnvm: allow targets to use sysfs

2017-01-31T15:32:13Z

In order to register through the sysfs interface, a driver needs to know its kobject. On a disk structure, this happens when the partition information is added (device_add_disk), which for lightnvm takes place after the target has been initialized. This means that on target initialization, the kboject has not been created yet. This patch adds a target function to let targets initialize their own kboject as a child of the disk kobject. Signed-off-by: Javier González Added exit typedef and passed gendisk instead of void pointer for exit. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: Add CRC read error

2017-01-31T15:32:13Z

Let the host differentiate between a read error and a CRC check error on the device side. Signed-off-by: Javier González Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: use end_io callback instead of instance

2017-01-31T15:32:13Z

When the lightnvm core had the "gennvm" layer between the device and the target, there was a need for the core to be able to figure out which target it should send an end_io callback to. Leading to a "double" end_io, first for the media manager instance, and then for the target instance. Now that core and gennvm is merged, there is no longer a need for this, and a single end_io callback will do. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: reduce number of nvm_id groups to one

2017-01-31T15:32:13Z

The number of configuration groups has been limited to one in current code, even if there is support for up to four. With the introduction of the open-channel SSD 1.3 specification, only a single group is exposed onwards. Reflect this in the nvm_id structure.

lightnvm: cleanup nvm transformation functions

2017-01-31T15:32:13Z

Going from target specific ppa addresses to device was accomplished by first converting target to generic ppa addresses and generic to device addresses. The conversion was either open-coded or used the built-in nvm_trans_* and nvm_map_* functions for conversion. Simplify the interface and cleanup the calls to provide clean functions that now either take a list of ppas or a nvm_rq, and is exposed through: void nvm_ppa_* - target to/from device with a list of PPAs, void nvm_rq_* - target to/from device with a nvm_rq.

lightnvm: remove nvm_get_bb_tbl and nvm_set_bb_tbl

2017-01-31T15:32:13Z

Since the merge of gennvm and core, there is no longer a need for the device specific bad block functions. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: remove nvm_submit_ppa* functions

2017-01-31T15:32:13Z

The nvm_submit_ppa* functions are no longer needed after gennvm and core have been merged. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
