* lightnvm: eliminate nvm_lun abstraction in mmJavier González2016-11-291-1/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: remove gen_lun abstractionJavier González2016-11-291-15/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The gen_lun abstraction in the generic media manager was conceived on the assumption that a single target would instantiated on top of it. This has complicated target design to implement multi-instances. Remove this abstraction and move its logic to nvm_lun, which manages physical lun geometry and operations.

* lightnvm: move target mgmt into media mgrMatias Bjørling2016-07-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To enable persistent block management to easily control creation and removal of targets, we move target management into the media manager. The LightNVM core continues to maintain which target types are registered, while the media manager now keeps track of its initialized targets. Two new callbacks for the media manager are introduced. create_tgt and remove_tgt. Note that remove_tgt returns 0 on successfully removing a target, and returns 1 if the target was not found.

* lightnvm: rename gennvm and update descriptionMatias Bjørling2016-07-071-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | The generic manager should be called the general media manager, and instead of using the rather long name of "gennvm" in front of each data structures, use "gen" instead to shorten it. Update the description of the media manager as well to make the media manager purpose clearer. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* lightnvm: specify target's logical address areaWenwei Tao2016-03-181-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* lightnvm: update bad block table formatMatias Bjørling2015-11-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The specification was changed to reflect a multi-value bad block table. Instead of bit-based bad block table, the bad block table now allows eight bad block categories. Currently four are defined: * Factory bad blocks * Grown bad blocks * Device-side reserved blocks * Host-side reserved blocks The factory and grown bad blocks are the regular bad blocks. The reserved blocks are either for internal use or external use. In particular, the device-side reserved blocks allows the host to bootstrap from a limited number of flash blocks. Reducing the flash blocks to scan upon super block initialization. Support for both get bad block table and set bad block table is added.

* gennvm: Generic NVM managerMatias Bjørling2015-10-291-0/+46
The implementation for Open-Channel SSDs is divided into media management and targets. This patch implements a generic media manager for open-channel SSDs. After a media manager has been initialized, single or multiple targets can be instantiated with the media managed as the backend.
