lightnvm: use end_io callback instead of instance

2017-01-31T15:32:13+00:00

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: use target nvm on target-specific ops.

2016-11-29T19:12:51+00:00

On target-specific operations pass on nvm_tgt_dev instead of the generic nvm device. Signed-off-by: Javier González Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: eliminate nvm_lun abstraction in mm

2016-11-29T19:12:51+00:00

In order to naturally support multi-target instances on an Open-Channel SSD, targets should own the LUNs they get blocks from and manage provisioning internally. This is done in several steps. Since targets own the LUNs the are instantiated on top of and manage the free block list internally, there is no need for a LUN abstraction in the media manager. LUNs are intrinsically managed as in the physical layout (ch:0,lun:0, ..., ch:0,lun:n, ch:1,lun:0, ch:1,lun:n, ..., ch:m,lun:0, ch:m,lun:n) and given to the targets based on the target creation ioctl. This simplifies LUN management and clears the path for a partition manager to sit directly underneath LightNVM targets.

lightnvm: eliminate nvm_block abstraction on mm

2016-11-29T19:12:51+00:00

In order to naturally support multi-target instances on an Open-Channel SSD, targets should own the LUNs they get blocks from and manage provisioning internally. This is done in several steps. A part of this transformation is that targets manage their blocks internally. This patch eliminates the nvm_block abstraction and moves block management to the target logic. The rrpc target is transformed. Signed-off-by: Javier González Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: move block provisioning to targets

2016-11-29T19:12:51+00:00

In order to naturally support multi-target instances on an Open-Channel SSD, targets should own the LUNs they get blocks from and manage provisioning internally. This is done in several steps. This patch moves the block provisioning inside of the target and removes the get/put block interface from the media manager.

lightnvm: remove unnecessary variables in rrpc

2016-11-29T19:12:51+00:00

Before vectored I/Os were supported on rrpc, the physical address was stored as part of the nvm_rqd request. This variable become obsolete when the ppa_list was introduced. Cleanup this variable. Signed-off-by: Javier González Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: make rrpc_map_page call nvm_get_blk outside locks

2016-07-07T14:51:52+00:00

The nvm_get_blk() function is called with rlun->lock held. This is ok when the media manager implementation doesn't go out of its atomic context. However, if a media manager persists its metadata, and guarantees that the block is given to the target, this is no longer a viable approach. Therefore, clean up the flow of rrpc_map_page, and make sure that nvm_get_blk() is called without any locks acquired. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: remove unused lists from struct rrpc_block

2016-07-07T14:51:52+00:00

The ->list, ->open_list, and ->closed_list lists were previously used for statistics. However, their usage have been removed, and thus these can safely be removed. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: remove checkpatch warning for unsigned ints

2016-07-07T14:51:52+00:00

Checkpatch found two incidents where the type was preferred to be written out in full. ./drivers/lightnvm/rrpc.h:184: WARNING: Prefer 'unsigned int' to bare use of 'unsigned' ./drivers/lightnvm/rrpc.h:209: WARNING: Prefer 'unsigned int' to bare use of 'unsigned' ./drivers/lightnvm/rrpc.c:51: WARNING: Prefer 'unsigned int' to bare use of 'unsigned' Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

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. Signed-off-by: Javier González Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
