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: convert to blk_alloc_disk/blk_cleanup_disk

2021-06-01T13:42:23Z

Convert the lightnvm driver to use the blk_alloc_disk and blk_cleanup_disk helpers to simplify gendisk and request_queue allocation. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Ulf Hansson Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210521055116.1053587-12-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: automatically enable GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT

2021-06-01T13:42:23Z

Automatically set the GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT flag for all disks allocated without an explicit number of minors. This is what all new block drivers should do, so make sure it is the default without boilerplate code.

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: return the correct return value

When memdup_user returns an error, memdup_user has two different return values, use PTR_ERR to get the correct return value. Signed-off-by: Tian Tao Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210413105257.159260-3-matias.bjorling@wdc.com Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: fix memory leak when submit fails

2021-01-21T12:45:51Z

The allocated page is not released if error occurs in nvm_submit_io_sync_raw(). __free_page() is moved ealier to avoid possible memory leak issue. Fixes: aff3fb18f957 ("lightnvm: move bad block and chunk state logic to core") Signed-off-by: Pan Bian Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: fix out-of-bounds write to array devices->info[]

2020-10-16T15:28:45Z

There is an off-by-one array check that can lead to a out-of-bounds write to devices->info[i]. Fix this by checking by using >= rather than > for the size check. Also replace hard-coded array size limit with ARRAY_SIZE on the array.

block: move ->make_request_fn to struct block_device_operations

2020-07-01T13:27:24Z

The make_request_fn is a little weird in that it sits directly in struct request_queue instead of an operation vector. Replace it with a block_device_operations method called submit_bio (which describes much better what it does). Also remove the request_queue argument to it, as the queue can be derived pretty trivially from the bio. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: simplify queue allocation

2020-03-27T16:23:43Z

Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request helper. Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask parameter. A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: print error when target is not found

2019-09-05T19:17:01Z

If userspace requests target to be removed, nvm_remove_tgt() will iterate the nvm_devices to find out the given target, but if not found, then it should print out an error. Signed-off-by: Minwoo Im Updated output string and patch description. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
