lightnvm: reserved space calculation incorrect

2016-05-06T18:51:10+00:00

The nvm_dev->max_pages_per_blk variable was removed in favor of the new
nvm->sec_per_blk variable. The ->max_pages_per_blk variable was still
used in rrpc_capacity, reporting the reserved capacity to zero. Replace
with ->sec_per_blk to calculate the reserved area again.

lightnvm: rename nr_pages to nr_ppas on nvm_rq

2016-05-06T18:51:10+00:00

The number of ppas contained on a request is not necessarily the number
of pages that it maps to neither on the target nor on the device side.
In order to avoid confusion, rename nr_pages to nr_ppas since it is what
the variable actually contains.

lightnvm: do not assume sequential lun alloc.

2016-05-06T18:51:10+00:00

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.

lightnvm: do not free unused metadata on rrpc

2016-05-06T18:51:10+00:00

rrpc does not save any metadata on a given request. Thus, do not attempt
to free the metadata dma region.

lightnvm: rename nvm_targets to nvm_tgt_type

2016-05-06T18:51:10+00:00

The functions nvm_register_target(), nvm_unregister_target() and
associated list refers to a target type that is being registered by a
target type module. Rename nvm_*_targets() to nvm_*_tgt_type(), so that
the intension is clear.

This enables target instances to use the _nvm_*_targets() naming.

lightnvm: store rrpc->soffset in device sector size

2016-05-06T18:51:10+00:00

Since we mainly use soffset in device sector size, we therefore store
this value in rrpc->soffset, instead of the offset in 512byte sector
size. This eliminates the "(ilog2(dev->sec_size) - 9)" calculation on
each I/O.

lightnvm: calculate rrpc total blocks and sectors up front

2016-05-06T18:51:10+00:00

Calculate rrpc total blocks and sectors up front, make sense
to use them. For example, we use rrpc->nr_sects to calculate rrpc
area size, but it makes no sense if we don't initialize it up front,
since it would be zero until we finish rrpc luns init.

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"
