lightnvm: track inflight target creations

2019-05-06T16:19:19Z

When creation process is still in progress, target is not yet on targets list. This causes a chance for removing whole lightnvm subsystem by calling nvm_unregister() in the meantime and finally by causing kernel panic inside target init function. This patch changes the behaviour by adding kref variable which tracks all the users of nvm_dev structure. When nvm_dev is allocated, kref value is set to 1. Then before every target creation the value is increased and decreased after target removal. The extra reference is decreased when nvm subsystem is unregistered.

lightnvm: Inherit mdts from the parent nvme device

2019-05-06T16:19:17Z

Current lightnvm and pblk implementation does not care about NVMe max data transfer size, which can be smaller than 64*K=256K. There are existing NVMe controllers which NVMe max data transfer size is lower that 256K (for example 128K, which happens for existing NVMe controllers which are NVMe spec compliant). Such a controllers are not able to handle command which contains 64 PPAs, since the the size of DMAed buffer will be above the capabilities of such a controller.

lightnvm: disable interleaved metadata

2018-12-11T19:22:35Z

Currently pblk only check the size of I/O metadata and does not take into account if this metadata is in a separate buffer or interleaved in a single metadata buffer. In reality only the first scenario is supported, where second mode will break pblk functionality during any IO operation. This patch prevents pblk to be instantiated in case device only supports interleaved metadata.

lightnvm: dynamic DMA pool entry size

2018-12-11T19:22:35Z

Currently lightnvm and pblk uses single DMA pool, for which the entry size always is equal to PAGE_SIZE. The contents of each entry allocated from the DMA pool consists of a PPA list (8bytes * 64), leaving 56bytes * 64 space for metadata. Since the metadata field can be bigger, such as 128 bytes, the static size does not cover this use-case. This patch adds support for I/O metadata above 56 bytes by changing DMA pool size based on device meta size and allows pblk to use OOB metadata >=16B.

lightnvm: pblk: fix mapping issue on failed writes

2018-10-09T14:25:07Z

On 1.2-devices, the mapping-out of remaning sectors in the failed-write's block can result in an infinite loop, stalling the write pipeline, fix this.

lightnvm: move ppa transformations to core

2018-10-09T14:25:07Z

Continuing the effort of moving 1.2 and 2.0 specific code to core, move 64_to_32 and 32_to_64 ppa helpers from pblk to core. Signed-off-by: Javier González Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: introduce nvm_rq_to_ppa_list

2018-10-09T14:25:07Z

There is a number of places in the lightnvm subsystem where the user iterates over the ppa list. Before iterating, the user must know if it is a single or multiple LBAs due to vector commands using either the nvm_rq ->ppa_addr or ->ppa_list fields on command submission, which leads to open-coding the if/else statement. Instead of having multiple if/else's, move it into a function that can be called by its users. A nice side effect of this cleanup is that this patch fixes up a bunch of cases where we don't consider the single-ppa case in pblk.

lightnvm: pblk: add helpers for chunk addresses

2018-10-09T14:25:06Z

Implement helpers to go from ppas to a chunk within a line and an address within a chunk. These helpers will be used on the patches adding trace support in pblk, which will be sent in this window. Signed-off-by: Javier González Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: move bad block and chunk state logic to core

2018-10-09T14:25:06Z

pblk implements two data paths for recovery line state. One for 1.2 and another for 2.0, instead of having pblk implement these, combine them in the core to reduce complexity and make available to other targets. The new interface will adhere to the 2.0 chunk definition, including managing open chunks with an active write pointer. To provide this interface, a 1.2 device recovers the state of the chunks by manually detecting if a chunk is either free/open/close/offline, and if open, scanning the flash pages sequentially to find the next writeable page. This process takes on average ~10 seconds on a device with 64 dies, 1024 blocks and 60us read access time. The process can be parallelized but is left out for maintenance simplicity, as the 1.2 specification is deprecated. For 2.0 devices, the logic is maintained internally in the drive and retrieved through the 2.0 interface. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: move device L2P detection to core

2018-10-09T14:25:06Z

A 1.2 device is able to manage the logical to physical mapping table internally or leave it to the host. A target only supports one of those approaches, and therefore must check on initialization. Move this check to core to avoid each target implement the check. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
