3704e098cc lightnvm: fix request intersection locking in rrpc
This patch fixes an error on the calculation of intersecting logical
addresses; it contemplates the case where a new request including
several addresses intersects with a single locked address. This case is
typical when multiple pages are sent in a new request, while GC - which
at the moment sends one address at the time - is running.

bba7f40a02 lightnvm: warn if irqs are disabled in lock laddr
Add a warning if irqs are disabled when locking a new address in rrpc.
The typical path to a new request does not disable irqs, but this is not
guaranteed in the future.

ff0e498bfa lightnvm: manage open and closed blocks separately
LightNVM targets need to know the state of the flash block when doing
flash optimizations. An example is implementing a write buffer to
respect the flash page size. Currently, block state is not accounted
for; the media manager only differentiates among free, bad and in-use
blocks.

This patch adds the logic in the generic media manager to enable
targets manage blocks into open and close separately, and it implements
such management in rrpc. It also adds a set of flags to describe the
state of the block (open, closed, free, bad).

In order to avoid taking two locks (nvm_lun and rrpc_lun) consecutively,
we introduce lockless get_/put_block primitives so that the open and
close list locks and future common logic is handled within the nvm_lun
lock.

d7a64d275b lightnvm: reference rrpc lun in rrpc block
Currently, a rrpc block only points to its nvm_lun. If a user wants to
find the associated rrpc lun, it will have to calculate the index and
look it up manually. By referencing the rrpc lun directly, this step can
be omitted, at the cost of a larger memory footprint.

This is important for upcoming patches that implement write buffering in
rrpc.

b7ceb7d500 lightnvm: refactor phys addrs type to u64
For cases where CONFIG_LBDAF is not set. The struct ppa_addr exceeds its
type on 32 bit architectures. ppa_addr requires a 64bit integer to hold
the generic ppa format. We therefore refactor it to u64 and
replaces the sector_t usages with u64 for physical addresses.

ae1519ec44 rrpc: Round-robin sector target with cost-based gc
This target allows an Open-Channel SSD to be exposed asas a block
device.

It implements a round-robin approach for sector allocation,
together with a greedy cost-based garbage collector.
