Lightnvm supports the OCSSD 1.x and 2.0 specs which were early attempts
to produce Open Channel SSDs and never made it into the NVMe spec
proper. They have since been superceeded by NVMe enhancements such
as ZNS support. Remove the support per the deprecation schedule.

This patch changes the approach to handling partial read path.
In old approach merging of data from round buffer and drive was fully
made by drive. This had some disadvantages - code was complex and
relies on bio internals, so it was hard to maintain and was strongly
dependent on bio changes.
In new approach most of the handling is done mostly by block layer
functions such as bio_split(), bio_chain() and generic_make request()
and generally is less complex and easier to maintain. Below some more
details of the new approach.
When read bio arrives, it is cloned for pblk internal purposes. All
the L2P mapping, which includes copying data from round buffer to bio
and thus bio_advance() calls is done on the cloned bio, so the original
bio is untouched. If we found that we have partial read case, we
still have original bio untouched, so we can split it and continue to
process only first part of it in current context, when the rest will be
called as separate bio request which is passed to generic_make_request()
for further processing.

This patch is made in order to prepare read path for new approach to
partial read handling, which is simpler in compare with previous one.
The most important change is to move the handling of completed and
failed bio from the pblk_make_rq() to particular read and write
functions. This is needed, since after partial read path changes,
sometimes completed/failed bio will be different from original one, so
we cannot do this any longer in pblk_make_rq().
Other changes are small read path refactor in order to reduce the size
of the following patch with partial read changes.
Generally the goal of this patch is not to change the functionality,
but just to prepare the code for the following changes.

Currently when there is an IO error (or similar) on GC read path, pblk
still move the line, which was currently under GC process to free state.
Such a behaviour can lead to silent data mismatch issue.
With this patch, the line which was under GC process on which some IO
errors occurred, will be putted back to closed state (instead of free
state as it was without this patch) and the L2P mapping for such a
failed sectors will not be updated.
Then in case of any user IOs to such a failed sectors, pblk would be
able to return at least real IO error instead of stale data as it is
right now.

Currently during pblk padding, there is internal IO timeout introduced,
which is smaller than default NVMe timeout. This can lead to various
use-after-free issues. Since in case of any IO timeouts NVMe and block
layer will handle timeout by themselves and report it back to use,
there is no need to keep this internal timeout in pblk.

This patch fixes a race condition where a write is mapped to the last
sectors of a line. The write is synced to the device but the L2P is not
updated yet. When the line is garbage collected before the L2P update
is performed, the sectors are ignored by the GC logic and the line is
freed before all sectors are moved. When the L2P is finally updated, it
contains a mapping to a freed line, subsequent reads of the
corresponding LBAs fail.
This patch introduces a per line counter specifying the number of
sectors that are synced to the device but have not been updated in the
L2P. Lines with a counter of greater than zero will not be selected
for GC.

In order to respect mw_cuinits, pblk's write buffer maintains a
backpointer to protect data not yet persisted; when writing to the write
buffer, this backpointer defines a threshold that pblk's rate-limiter
enforces.
On small PU configurations, the following scenarios might take place: (i)
the threshold is larger than the write buffer and (ii) the threshold is
smaller than the write buffer, but larger than the maximun allowed
split bio - 256KB at this moment (Note that writes are not always
split - we only do this when we the size of the buffer is smaller
than the buffer). In both cases, pblk's rate-limiter prevents the I/O to
be written to the buffer, thus stalling.
This patch fixes the original backpointer implementation by considering
the threshold both on buffer creation and on the rate-limiters path,
when bio_split is triggered (case (ii) above).

Ehen using pblk with 0 sized metadata both ppa list and meta list
points to the same memory since pblk_dma_meta_size() returns 0 in
that case.
This patch fix that issue by ensuring that pblk_dma_meta_size()
always returns space equal to sizeof(struct pblk_sec_meta) and thus
ppa list and meta list points to different memory address.
Even that in that case drive does not really care about meta_list
pointer, this is the easiest way to fix that issue without introducing
changes in many places in the code just for 0 sized metadata case.
The same approach needs to be also done for pblk_get_sec_meta()
since we also cannot point to the same memory address in meta buffer
when we are using it for pblk recovery process

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.

In a worst-case scenario (random writes), OP% of sectors
in each line will be invalid, and we will then need
to move data out of 100/OP% lines to free a single line.
So, to prevent the possibility of running out of lines,
temporarily block user writes when there is less than
100/OP% free lines.
Also ensure that pblk creation does not produce instances
with insufficient over provisioning.
Insufficient over-provising is not a problem on real hardware,
but often an issue when running QEMU simulations (with few lines).
100 lines is enough to create a sane instance with the standard
(11%) over provisioning.

pblk's write buffer must guarantee that it respects the device's
constrains for reads (i.e., mw_cunits). This is done by maintaining a
backpointer that updates the L2P table as entries wrap up, making them
point to the media instead of pointing to the write buffer.
This mechanism can race in case that the write thread stalls, as the
write pointer will protect the last written entry, thus disregarding the
read constrains.
This patch adds an extra check on wrap up, making sure that the
threshold is respected at all times, preventing new entries to overwrite
committed data, also in case of write thread stall.

pblk guarantees write ordering at a chunk level through a per open chunk
semaphore. At this point, since we only have an open I/O stream for both
user and GC data, the semaphore is per parallel unit.
For the metadata I/O that is synchronous, the semaphore is not needed as
ordering is guaranteed. However, if the metadata scheme changes or
multiple streams are open, this guarantee might not be preserved.
This patch makes sure that all writes go through the semaphore, even for
synchronous I/O. This is consistent with pblk's write I/O model. It also
simplifies maintenance since changes in the metadata scheme could cause
ordering issues.

becomes less clear and unnecessary complicated.
In preparation for further changes to the metadata write path, this
patch separates the write and read paths for smeta and emeta and
removes the synchronous emeta path as it not used anymore (emeta is

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.

such as WS_MIN and MW_CUNITS - it must be greater than or equal to
the larger one multiplied by the number of PUs. However, for
performance reasons, use the WS_OPT value to calculation instead of
WS_MIN.
Because the place where buffer size is calculated was changed, this
patch also removes pgs_in_buffer filed in pblk structure.

Unless we kick the writer directly when setting a new flush point, the
user risks having to wait for up to one second (the default timeout for
the write thread to be kicked) for the IO to complete.

Write failures should not happen under normal circumstances,
so in order to bring the chunk back into a known state as soon
as possible, evacuate all the valid data out of the line and let the
fw judge if the block can be written to in the next reset cycle.
Do this by introducing a new gc list for lines with failed writes,
and ensure that the rate limiter allocates a small portion of
the write bandwidth to get the job done.
The lba list is saved in memory for use during gc as we
cannot gurantee that the emeta data is readable if a write
error occurred.

The write error recovery path is incomplete, so rework
the write error recovery handling to do resubmits directly
from the write buffer.
When a write error occurs, the remaining sectors in the chunk are
mapped out and invalidated and the request inserted in a resubmit list.
The writer thread checks if there are any requests to resubmit,
scans and invalidates any lbas that have been overwritten by later
writes and resubmits the failed entries.
