These patches implement support for Open-Channel SSDs.
Applies against axboe's linux-block/for-4.3/drivers.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Changes since v4:
- Remove gendisk->nvm dependency
- Remove device driver rq private field dependency.
- Update submission and completion. The flow is now
Target -> Block Manager -> Device Driver, replacing callbacks in
device driver.
- Abstracted out the block manager into its own module. Other block
managers can now be implemented. For example to support fully
host-based SSDs.
- No longer exposes the device driver gendisk to user-space.
- Management is moved into /sys/modules/lnvm/parameters/configure_debug
Changes since v3:
- Remove dependency on REQ_NVM_GC
- Refactor nvme integration to use nvme_submit_sync_cmd for
internal commands.
- Fix race condition bug on multiple threads on RRPC target.
- Rename sysfs entry under the block device from nvm to lightnvm.
The configuration is found in /sys/block/*/lightnvm/
Changes since v2:
Feedback from Paul Bolle:
- Fix license to GPLv2, documentation, compilation.
Feedback from Keith Busch:
- nvme: Move lightnvm out and into nvme-lightnvm.c.
- nvme: Set controller css on lightnvm command set.
- nvme: Remove OACS.
Feedback from Christoph Hellwig:
- lightnvm: Move out of block layer into /drivers/lightnvm/core.c
- lightnvm: refactor request->phys_sector into device drivers.
- lightnvm: refactor prep/unprep into device drivers.
- lightnvm: move nvm_dev from request_queue to gendisk.
New
- Bad block table support (From Javier).
- Update maintainers file.
Changes since v1:
- Splitted LightNVM into two parts. A get/put interface for flash
blocks and the respective targets that implement flash translation
layer logic.
- Updated the patches according to the LightNVM specification changes.
- Added interface to add/remove targets for a block device.
Thanks to Jens Axboe, Christoph Hellwig, Keith Busch, Javier Gonzalez
and Jesper Madsen for discussions and contributions.
