cca87bc9d3 lightnvm: do not assume sequential lun alloc.
When doing GC, rrpc calculates the physical LUN to which the rrpc block
belongs too. This calculation is based on the assumption that LUNs are
assigned sequentially to the LUN list. Use the reference to the LUN
instead. This saves us the calculation and allows us to align LUNs in a
different manner to, for example, take advantage of devide parallelism.

75b8564932 lightnvm: rename dma helper functions
Until now, the dma pool have been exclusively used to allocate the ppa
list being sent to the device. In pblk (upcoming), we use these pools to
allocate metadata too. Thus, we generalize the names of some variables
on the dma helper functions to make the code more readable.

293a6e8e27 lightnvm: fix out of bound ppa lun id on bb tbl
The ppa configured for retrieving the bad block table uses the internal
lun id to setup the get bad block ppa. This increases monotonically
with the number luns available. When configuring a ppa, the channel and
lun must be specified separately, leading to an out of bound memory
access in gennvm_block_bb when lun id goes beyond the luns available
within a channel.

Additional, remove out of bound check in gennvm_block_bb(), as it was a
buggy to begin with.

5ebc7d9fe1 lightnvm: make nvm_set_rqd_ppalist() aware of vblks
A virtual block enables a block to identify multiple physical blocks.
This is useful for metadata where a device media supports multiple
planes. In that case, a block, with multiple planes can be managed
as a single vblk. Reducing the metadata required by one forth.

nvm_set_rqd_ppalist() takes care of expanding a ppa_list with vblks
automatically. However, for some use-cases, where only a single physical
block is required, the ppa_list should not be expanded.

Therefore, add a vblk parameter to nvm_set_rqd_ppalist(), and only
expand the ppa_list if vblk is set.

e11903f5df lightnvm: refactor device ops->get_bb_tbl()
The device ops->get_bb_tbl() takes a callback, that allows the caller
to use its own callback function to update its data structures in the
returning function.

This makes it difficult to send parameters to the callback, and usually
is circumvented by small private structures, that both carry the callers
state and any flags needed to fulfill the update.

Refactor ops->get_bb_tbl() to fill a data buffer with the status of the
blocks returned, and let the user call the callback function manually.
That will provide the necessary flags and data structures and simplify
the logic around ops->get_bb_tbl().

719b59172c lightnvm: do not reserve lun on l2p loading
When the l2p table is loaded, addresses are checked for the lun they
belong to and luns are reserved accordingly. This assumes that metadata
is being stored in the backend device to recover the previous target
configuration. Since this is not yet implemented, this check collides
with some of the core initialization (e.g., sysblock initialization when
a page is formed by several sectors).

We take this check out and for now rely on that the right target will be
created instead. When metadata is stored to recover a target, this check
will come natural as part of the recovery strategy.

e3eb3799f7 lightnvm: core on-disk initialization
An Open-Channel SSD shall be initialized before use. To initialize, we
define an on-disk format, that keeps a small set of metadata to bring up
the media manager on top of the device.

The initial step is introduced to allow a user to format the disks for a
given media manager. During format, a system block is stored on one to
three separate luns on the device. Each lun has the system block
duplicated. During initialization, the system block can be retrieved and
the appropriate media manager can initialized.

The on-disk format currently covers (struct nvm_system_block):

 - Magic value "NVMS".
 - Monotonic increasing sequence number.
 - The physical block erase count.
 - Version of the system block format.
 - Media manager type.
 - Media manager superblock physical address.

The interface provides three functions to manage the system block:

 int nvm_init_sysblock(struct nvm_dev *, struct nvm_sb_info *)
 int nvm_get_sysblock(struct nvm *dev, struct nvm_sb_info *)
 int nvm_update_sysblock(struct nvm *dev, struct nvm_sb_info *)

Each implement a part of the logic to manage the system block. The
initialization creates the first system blocks and mark them on the
device. Get retrieves the latest system block by scanning all pages in
the associated system blocks. The update sysblock writes new metadata
and allocates new block if necessary.

ca5927e7ab lightnvm: introduce mlc lower page table mappings
NAND MLC memories have both lower and upper pages. When programming,
both of these must be written, before data can be read. However,
these lower and upper pages might not placed at even and odd flash
pages, but can be skipped. Therefore each flash memory has its lower
pages defined, which can then be used when programming and to know when
padding are necessary.

This patch implements the lower page definition in the specification,
and exposes it through a simple lookup table at dev->lptbl.

f9a9995072 lightnvm: add mccap support
Some flash media has extended capabilities, such as programming SLC
pages on MLC/TLC flash, erase/program suspend, scramble and encryption.
MCCAP is introduced to detect support for these capabilities in the
command set.

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.

09719b62fd lightnvm: introduce nvm_submit_ppa
Internal logic for both core and media managers, does not have a
backing bio for issuing I/Os. Introduce nvm_submit_ppa to allow raw
I/Os to be submitted to the underlying device driver.

The function request the device, ppa, data buffer and its length and
will submit the I/O synchronously to the device. The return value may
therefore be used to detect any errors regarding the issued I/O.

b262924be0 lightnvm: fix locking and mempool in rrpc_lun_gc
This patch fix two issues in rrpc_lun_gc

1. prio_list is protected by rrpc_lun's lock not nvm_lun's, so
acquire rlun's lock instead of lun's before operate on the list.

2. we delete block from prio_list before allocating gcb, but gcb
allocation may fail, we end without putting it back to the list,
this makes the block won't get reclaimed in the future. To solve
this issue, delete block after gcb allocation.
