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.

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

lightnvm: track inflight target creations

2019-05-06T16:19:19Z

When creation process is still in progress, target is not yet on targets list. This causes a chance for removing whole lightnvm subsystem by calling nvm_unregister() in the meantime and finally by causing kernel panic inside target init function. This patch changes the behaviour by adding kref variable which tracks all the users of nvm_dev structure. When nvm_dev is allocated, kref value is set to 1. Then before every target creation the value is increased and decreased after target removal. The extra reference is decreased when nvm subsystem is unregistered.

lightnvm: Inherit mdts from the parent nvme device

2019-05-06T16:19:17Z

Current lightnvm and pblk implementation does not care about NVMe max data transfer size, which can be smaller than 64*K=256K. There are existing NVMe controllers which NVMe max data transfer size is lower that 256K (for example 128K, which happens for existing NVMe controllers which are NVMe spec compliant). Such a controllers are not able to handle command which contains 64 PPAs, since the the size of DMAed buffer will be above the capabilities of such a controller.

lightnvm: disable interleaved metadata

2018-12-11T19:22:35Z

Currently pblk only check the size of I/O metadata and does not take into account if this metadata is in a separate buffer or interleaved in a single metadata buffer. In reality only the first scenario is supported, where second mode will break pblk functionality during any IO operation. This patch prevents pblk to be instantiated in case device only supports interleaved metadata.

lightnvm: dynamic DMA pool entry size

2018-12-11T19:22:35Z

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.
