Matias Bjørling 57b4bd06ff lightnvm: comments on constants
It is not obvious what NVM_IO_* and NVM_BLK_T_* are used for. Make sure
to comment them appropriately as the other constants.

Matias Bjørling 08236c6bb2 lightnvm: unconverted ppa returned in get_bb_tbl
The get_bb_tbl function takes ppa as a generic address, which is
converted to the ppa device address within the device driver. When
the update_bbtbl callback is called from get_bb_tbl, the device
specific ppa is used, instead of the generic ppa.

Make sure to pass the generic ppa.

Javier Gonzalez 2fde0e482d lightnvm: add free and bad lun info to show luns
Add free block, used block, and bad block information to the show debug
interface. This information is used to debug how targets track blocks.

Also, change debug function name to make it more generic.

Javier Gonzalez 0b59733b95 lightnvm: keep track of block counts
Maintain number of in use blocks, free blocks, and bad blocks in a per
lun basis. This allows the upper layers to get information about the
state of each lun.

Also, account for blocks reserved to the device on the free block count.
nr_free_blocks matches now the actual number of blocks on the free list
when the device is booted.

Matias Bjørling 7386af270c lightnvm: remove linear and device addr modes
The linear and device specific address modes can be replaced with a
simple offset and bit length conversion that is generic across all
devices.

This both simplifies the specification and removes the special case for
qemu nvme, that previously relied on the linear address mapping.

Matias Bjørling 73387e7bed lightnvm: remove unused attrs in nvm_id structs
The nvm_id, nvm_id_group and nvm_addr_format data structures contain
reserved attributes. They are unused by media managers and targets.
Remove them.

Matias Bjørling 12be5edf68 lightnvm: expose mccap in identify command
The mccap field is required for I/O command option support. It defines the
following flash access modes:

 * SLC mode
 * Erase/Program Suspension
 * Scramble On/Off
 * Encryption

It is slotted in between mpos and cpar, changing the offset for
cpar as well.

Matias Bjørling 1145046983 lightnvm: update bad block table format
The specification was changed to reflect a multi-value bad block table.
Instead of bit-based bad block table, the bad block table now allows
eight bad block categories. Currently four are defined:

 * Factory bad blocks
 * Grown bad blocks
 * Device-side reserved blocks
 * Host-side reserved blocks

The factory and grown bad blocks are the regular bad blocks. The
reserved blocks are either for internal use or external use. In
particular, the device-side reserved blocks allows the host to
bootstrap from a limited number of flash blocks. Reducing the flash
blocks to scan upon super block initialization.

Support for both get bad block table and set bad block table is added.

Matias Bjørling aedf17f451 lightnvm: change max_phys_sect to uint
The max_phys_sect variable is defined as a char. We do a boundary check
to maximally allow 256 physical page descriptors per command. As we are
not indexing from zero. This expression is always false. Bump the
max_phys_sect to an unsigned int to support the range check.

Matias Bjørling 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.

Matias Bjørling cd9e9808d1 lightnvm: Support for Open-Channel SSDs
Open-channel SSDs are devices that share responsibilities with the host
in order to implement and maintain features that typical SSDs keep
strictly in firmware. These include (i) the Flash Translation Layer
(FTL), (ii) bad block management, and (iii) hardware units such as the
flash controller, the interface controller, and large amounts of flash
chips. In this way, Open-channels SSDs exposes direct access to their
physical flash storage, while keeping a subset of the internal features
of SSDs.

LightNVM is a specification that gives support to Open-channel SSDs
LightNVM allows the host to manage data placement, garbage collection,
and parallelism. Device specific responsibilities such as bad block
management, FTL extensions to support atomic IOs, or metadata
persistence are still handled by the device.

The implementation of LightNVM consists of two parts: core and
(multiple) targets. The core implements functionality shared across
targets. This is initialization, teardown and statistics. The targets
implement the interface that exposes physical flash to user-space
applications. Examples of such targets include key-value store,
object-store, as well as traditional block devices, which can be
application-specific.
