2018-12-11lightnvm: pblk: support packed metadataIgor Konopko1-4/+44
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.

2018-12-11lightnvm: dynamic DMA pool entry sizeIgor Konopko1-4/+4
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.

2018-10-09lightnvm: pblk: take write semaphore on metadataJavier González1-1/+15
pblk guarantees write ordering at a chunk level through a per open chunk semaphore. At this point, since we only have an open I/O stream for both user and GC data, the semaphore is per parallel unit. For the metadata I/O that is synchronous, the semaphore is not needed as ordering is guaranteed. However, if the metadata scheme changes or multiple streams are open, this guarantee might not be preserved. This patch makes sure that all writes go through the semaphore, even for synchronous I/O. This is consistent with pblk's write I/O model. It also simplifies maintenance since changes in the metadata scheme could cause ordering issues.

2018-10-09lightnvm: pblk: refactor metadata pathsJavier González1-166/+141
pblk maintains two different metadata paths for smeta and emeta, which store metadata at the start of the line and at the end of the line, respectively. Until now, these path has been common for writing and retrieving metadata, however, as these paths diverge, the common code becomes less clear and unnecessary complicated. In preparation for further changes to the metadata write path, this patch separates the write and read paths for smeta and emeta and removes the synchronous emeta path as it not used anymore (emeta is scheduled asynchronously to prevent jittering due to internal I/Os).

2018-10-09lightnvm: use internal allocation for chunk log pageJavier González1-2/+2
The lightnvm subsystem provides helpers to retrieve chunk metadata, where the target needs to provide a buffer to store the metadata. An implicit assumption is that this buffer is contiguous and can be used to retrieve the data from the device. If the device exposes too many chunks, then kmalloc might fail, thus failing instance creation. This patch removes this assumption by implementing an internal buffer in the lightnvm subsystem to retrieve chunk metadata. Targets can then use virtual memory allocations. Since this is a target API change, adapt pblk accordingly.

2018-10-09lightnvm: move bad block and chunk state logic to coreMatias Bjørling1-3/+3
pblk implements two data paths for recovery line state. One for 1.2 and another for 2.0, instead of having pblk implement these, combine them in the core to reduce complexity and make available to other targets. The new interface will adhere to the 2.0 chunk definition, including managing open chunks with an active write pointer. To provide this interface, a 1.2 device recovers the state of the chunks by manually detecting if a chunk is either free/open/close/offline, and if open, scanning the flash pages sequentially to find the next writeable page. This process takes on average ~10 seconds on a device with 64 dies, 1024 blocks and 60us read access time. The process can be parallelized but is left out for maintenance simplicity, as the 1.2 specification is deprecated. For 2.0 devices, the logic is maintained internally in the drive and retrieved through the 2.0 interface. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <mb@lightnvm.io> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2018-10-09lightnvm: pblk: fix rqd.error return value in pblk_blk_erase_syncMatias Bjørling1-17/+2
rqd.error is masked by the return value of pblk_submit_io_sync. The rqd structure is then passed on to the end_io function, which assumes that any error should lead to a chunk being marked offline/bad. Since the pblk_submit_io_sync can fail before the command is issued to the device, the error value maybe not correspond to a media failure, leading to chunks being immaturely retired. Also, the pblk_blk_erase_sync function prints an error message in case the erase fails. Since the caller prints an error message by itself, remove the error message in this function.

2018-03-29lightnvm: pblk: export write amplification counters to sysfsHans Holmberg1-0/+6
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.

2018-03-29lightnvm: pblk: check data lines version on recoveryHans Holmberg1-1/+8
As a preparation for future bumps of data line persistent storage versions, we need to start checking the emeta line version during recovery. Also slit up the current emeta/smeta version into two bytes (major,minor). Recovering lines with the same major number as the current pblk data line version must succeed. This means that any changes in the persistent format must be: (1) Backward compatible: if we switch back to and older kernel, recovery of lines stored with major == current_major and minor > current_minor must succeed. (2) Forward compatible: switching to a newer kernel, recovery of lines stored with major=current_major and minor < minor must handle the data format differences gracefully(i.e. initialize new data structures to default values). If we detect lines that have a different major number than the current we must abort recovery. The user must manually migrate the data in this case. Previously the version stored in the emeta header was copied from smeta, which has version 1, so we need to set the minor version to 1.

On scan recovery, reads can fail. This happens because the first page for each line is read in order to determined if the line has been used (and thus needs to be recovered), or not. This can lead to "empty page" read errors. Since these errors are normal, do not log them, as they are confusing when reviewing the logs.

2018-01-05lightnvm: pblk: use exact free block counter in RLJavier González1-13/+6
Until now, pblk's rate-limiter has used a heuristic to reserve space for GC I/O given that the over-provision area was fixed. In preparation for allowing to define the over-provision area on target creation, define a dedicated free_block counter in the rate-limiter to track the number of blocks being used for user data.
