lightnvm: pblk: fix race condition on GC

2019-02-11T15:18:08Z

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.

lightnvm: pblk: support packed metadata

2018-12-11T19:22:35Z

pblk performs recovery of open lines by storing the LBA in the per LBA metadata field. Recovery therefore only works for drives that has this field. This patch adds support for packed metadata, which store l2p mapping for open lines in last sector of every write unit and enables drives without per IO metadata to recover open lines. After this patch, drives with OOB size <16B will use packed metadata and metadata size larger than16B will continue to use the device per IO metadata.

lightnvm: pblk: add helpers for OOB metadata

2018-12-11T19:22:35Z

pblk currently assumes that size of OOB metadata on drive is always equal to size of pblk_sec_meta struct. This commit add helpers which will allow to handle different sizes of OOB metadata on drive in the future. After this patch only OOB metadata equal to 16 bytes is supported.

lightnvm: pblk: remove debug from pblk_[down/up]_page

2018-10-09T14:25:07Z

Remove the debug only iteration within __pblk_down_page, which then allows us to reduce the number of arguments down to pblk and the parallel unit from the functions that calls it. Simplifying the callers logic considerably. Also, rename the functions pblk_[down/up]_page to pblk_[down/up]_chunk, to communicate that it manages the write pointer of the chunk. Note that it also protects the parallel unit such that at most one chunk is active per parallel unit. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Reviewed-by: Javier González Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: introduce nvm_rq_to_ppa_list

2018-10-09T14:25:07Z

There is a number of places in the lightnvm subsystem where the user iterates over the ppa list. Before iterating, the user must know if it is a single or multiple LBAs due to vector commands using either the nvm_rq ->ppa_addr or ->ppa_list fields on command submission, which leads to open-coding the if/else statement. Instead of having multiple if/else's, move it into a function that can be called by its users. A nice side effect of this cleanup is that this patch fixes up a bunch of cases where we don't consider the single-ppa case in pblk.

lightnvm: add support for 2.0 address format

2018-03-29T23:29:09Z

Add support for 2.0 address format. Also, align address bits for 1.2 and 2.0 to be able to operate on channel and luns without requiring a format conversion. Use a generic address format for this purpose. Also, convert the generic operations to the generic format in pblk.

lightnvm: pblk: export write amplification counters to sysfs

2018-03-29T23:29:09Z

In a SSD, write amplification, WA, is defined as the average number of page writes per user page write. Write amplification negatively affects write performance and decreases the lifetime of the disk, so it's a useful metric to add to sysfs. In plkb's case, the number of writes per user sector is the sum of: (1) number of user writes (2) number of sectors written by the garbage collector (3) number of sectors padded (i.e. due to syncs) This patch adds persistent counters for 1-3 and two sysfs attributes to export these along with WA calculated with five decimals: write_amp_mileage: the accumulated write amplification stats for the lifetime of the pblk instance write_amp_trip: resetable stats to facilitate delta measurements, values reset at creation and if 0 is written to the attribute. 64-bit counters are used as a 32 bit counter would wrap around already after about 17 TB worth of user data. It will take a long long time before the 64 bit sector counters wrap around. The counters are stored after the bad block bitmap in the first emeta sector of each written line. There is plenty of space in the first emeta sector, so we don't need to bump the major version of the line data format.
