remove the lightnvm subsystem

2021-08-14T21:54:09Z

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.

lightnvm: deprecated OCSSD support and schedule it for removal in Linux 5.15

2021-04-13T15:16:12Z

Lightnvm was an innovative idea to expose more low-level control over SSDs. But it failed to get properly standardized and remains a non-standarized extension to NVMe that requires vendor specific quirks for a few now mostly obsolete SSD devices. The standardized ZNS command set for NVMe has take over a lot of the approaches and allows for fully standardized operation. Remove the Linux code to support open channel SSDs as the few production deployments of the above mentioned SSDs are using userspace driver stacks instead of the fairly limited Linux support.

lightnvm: remove dependencies on BLK_DEV_NVME and PCI

2018-10-09T14:25:05Z

No need to force NVMe device driver to be compiled in if the lightnvm subsystem is selected. Also no need for PCI to be selected as well, as it would be selected by the device driver that hooks into the subsystem.

lightnvm: move NVM_DEBUG to pblk

2018-07-13T14:14:31Z

There is no users of CONFIG_NVM_DEBUG in the LightNVM subsystem. All users are in pblk. Rename NVM_DEBUG to NVM_PBLK_DEBUG and enable only for pblk. Also fix up the CONFIG_NVM_PBLK entry to follow the code style for Kconfig files. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Reviewed-by: Javier González Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: Remove depends on HAS_DMA in case of platform dependency

2018-06-22T18:07:11Z

Remove dependencies on HAS_DMA where a Kconfig symbol depends on another symbol that implies HAS_DMA, and, optionally, on "|| COMPILE_TEST". In most cases this other symbol is an architecture or platform specific symbol, or PCI. Generic symbols and drivers without platform dependencies keep their dependencies on HAS_DMA, to prevent compiling subsystems or drivers that cannot work anyway. This simplifies the dependencies, and allows to improve compile-testing.

lightnvm: include NVM Express driver if OCSSD is selected for build

2017-10-13T14:34:57Z

Because NVM needs BLK_DEV_NVME, select it automatically if we mark NVM in config file before building kernel. Also append PCI to depends as select doesn't automatically add dependencies. Signed-off-by: Rakesh Pandit Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: physical block device (pblk) target

2017-04-16T16:06:33Z

This patch introduces pblk, a host-side translation layer for Open-Channel SSDs to expose them like block devices. The translation layer allows data placement decisions, and I/O scheduling to be managed by the host, enabling users to optimize the SSD for their specific workloads. An open-channel SSD has a set of LUNs (parallel units) and a collection of blocks. Each block can be read in any order, but writes must be sequential. Writes may also fail, and if a block requires it, must also be reset before new writes can be applied. To manage the constraints, pblk maintains a logical to physical address (L2P) table, write cache, garbage collection logic, recovery scheme, and logic to rate-limit user I/Os versus garbage collection I/Os. The L2P table is fully-associative and manages sectors at a 4KB granularity. Pblk stores the L2P table in two places, in the out-of-band area of the media and on the last page of a line. In the cause of a power failure, pblk will perform a scan to recover the L2P table. The user data is organized into lines. A line is data striped across blocks and LUNs. The lines enable the host to reduce the amount of metadata to maintain besides the user data and makes it easier to implement RAID or erasure coding in the future. pblk implements multi-tenant support and can be instantiated multiple times on the same drive. Each instance owns a portion of the SSD - both regarding I/O bandwidth and capacity - providing I/O isolation for each case. Finally, pblk also exposes a sysfs interface that allows user-space to peek into the internals of pblk. The interface is available at /dev/block/*/pblk/ where * is the block device name exposed.
