2018-03-29lightnvm: pblk: remove some unnecessary NULL checksDan Carpenter1-4/+2
Smatch complains that flush_workqueue() dereferences the work queue pointer but then we check if it's NULL on the next line when it's too late. These NULL checks can be removed because the module won't load if we can't allocate the work queues.

2018-03-29lightnvm: implement get log report chunk helpersJavier González1-0/+11

2018-03-29lightnvm: simplify geometry structureJavier González10-189/+154
Currently, the device geometry is stored redundantly in the nvm_id and nvm_geo structures at a device level. Moreover, when instantiating targets on a specific number of LUNs, these structures are replicated and manually modified to fit the instance channel and LUN partitioning. Instead, create a generic geometry around nvm_geo, which can be used by (i) the underlying device to describe the geometry of the whole device, and (ii) instances to describe their geometry independently.

2018-03-29lightnvm: pblk: add padding distribution sysfs attributeHans Holmberg4-13/+113
When pblk receives a sync, all data up to that point in the write buffer must be comitted to persistent storage, and as flash memory comes with a minimal write size there is a significant cost involved both in terms of time for completing the sync and in terms of write amplification padded sectors for filling up to the minimal write size. In order to get a better understanding of the costs involved for syncs, Add a sysfs attribute to pblk: padded_dist, showing a normalized distribution of sectors padded. In order to facilitate measurements of specific workloads during the lifetime of the pblk instance, the distribution can be reset by writing 0 to the attribute. Do this by introducing counters for each possible padding: {0..(minimal write size - 1)} and calculate the normalized distribution when showing the attribute.

2018-03-29lightnvm: pblk: export write amplification counters to sysfsHans Holmberg8-10/+168
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 Holmberg3-5/+46
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.
