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.

In order to respect mw_cuinits, pblk's write buffer maintains a
backpointer to protect data not yet persisted; when writing to the write
buffer, this backpointer defines a threshold that pblk's rate-limiter
enforces.
On small PU configurations, the following scenarios might take place: (i)
the threshold is larger than the write buffer and (ii) the threshold is
smaller than the write buffer, but larger than the maximun allowed
split bio - 256KB at this moment (Note that writes are not always
split - we only do this when we the size of the buffer is smaller
than the buffer). In both cases, pblk's rate-limiter prevents the I/O to
be written to the buffer, thus stalling.
This patch fixes the original backpointer implementation by considering
the threshold both on buffer creation and on the rate-limiters path,
when bio_split is triggered (case (ii) above).

pblk stripes writes of minimal write size across all non-offline chunks
in a line, which means that the maximum write pointer delta should not
exceed the minimal write size.
Extend the line write pointer balance check to cover this case, and
ignore the offline chunk wps.
This will render us a warning during recovery if something unexpected
has happened to the chunk write pointers (i.e. powerloss, a spurious
chunk reset, ..).

This mechanism can race in case that the write thread stalls, as the

OCSSD 2.0 defines the amount of data that the host must buffer per chunk
to guarantee reads through the geometry field mw_cunits. This value is
the base that pblk uses to determine the size of its read buffer.
Currently, this size is set to be the closes power-of-2 to mw_cunits
times the number of parallel units available to the pblk instance for
each open line (currently one). When an entry (4KB) is put in the
buffer, the L2P table points to it. As the buffer wraps up, the L2P is
updated to point to addresses on the device, thus guaranteeing mw_cunits
at a chunk level.
However, given that pblk cannot write to the device under ws_min
(normally ws_opt), there might be a window in which the buffer starts
wrapping up and updating L2P entries before the mw_cunits value in a
chunk has been surpassed.
In order not to violate the mw_cunits constrain in this case, account
for ws_opt on the read buffer creation.

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

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

This patch removes this assumption by implementing an internal buffer in

To fix these bugs, the call to pblk_line_replace_data()
is moved out of the spinlock protection.
These bugs are found by my static analysis tool DSAC.

On 1.2-devices, the mapping-out of remaning sectors in the
failed-write's block can result in an infinite loop,
stalling the write pipeline, fix this.

Pblk should not create a set of global caches every time
a pblk instance is created. The global caches should be
made available only when there is one or more pblk instances.
This patch bundles the global caches together with a kref
keeping track of whether the caches should be available or not.
Also, turn the global pblk lock into a mutex that explicitly
protects the caches (as this was the only purpose of the lock).

Continuing the effort of moving 1.2 and 2.0 specific code to core, move
64_to_32 and 32_to_64 ppa helpers from pblk to core.
