lightnvm: wrong offset in bad blk lun calculation

2015-12-29T15:28:32Z

dev->nr_luns reports the total number of luns available in a device while dev->luns_per_chnl is the number of luns per channel. When multiple channels are available, the offset is calculated from a channel and lun id into a linear array. As it multiplies with the total number of luns, we go out of bound when channel id > 0 and causes the kernel to panic when we read a protected kernel memory area.

lightnvm: do not compile in debugging by default

2015-12-07T16:14:20Z

The LightNVM module exposes a debug interface when CONFIG_NVM_DEBUG is set. This interfaces takes a string to configure media managers and targets. Make sure this interface is only exposed when chosen deliberately. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: prevent gennvm module unload on use

2015-12-07T16:14:19Z

After the gennvm module has been initialized. It might be attached to one or several devices. In that case, the module is in use. Make sure that it can not be unloaded. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: fix media mgr registration

2015-12-07T16:14:19Z

This patch fixes two issues during media manager registration. 1. The ppa pool can be used at media manager registration. Allocate the ppa pool before that. 2. If a media manager can't be found, this should not lead to the device being unallocated. A media manager can be registered later, that can manage the device. Only warn if a media manager fails initialization. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: replace req queue with nvmdev for lld

2015-12-07T16:14:19Z

In the case where a request queue is passed to the low lever lightnvm device drive integration, the device driver might pass its admin commands through another queue. Instead pass nvm_dev, and let the low level drive the appropriate queue. Reported-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: refactor spin_unlock in gennvm_get_blk

2015-12-07T16:14:19Z

The spin_unlock is duplicated multiple times. Jump to a single unlock to improve the code flow. Signed-off-by: Wenwei Tao Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: put blks when luns configure failed

2015-12-07T16:14:19Z

Put the allocated blocks back to the free list when the luns configure failed, to make these blocks useable to others. Signed-off-by: Wenwei Tao Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: use flags in rrpc_get_blk

2015-12-07T16:14:19Z

rrpc_get_blk use constant 0 as the input parameter of nvm_get_blk, this may result in getting gc block failed unexpectedly. Signed-off-by: Wenwei Tao Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: missing nvm_lock acquire

2015-11-29T21:34:58Z

To avoid race conditions, traverse dev, media manager, and target lists and also register, unregister entries to/from them, should be always under the nvm_lock control. Signed-off-by: Wenwei Tao Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: unconverted ppa returned in get_bb_tbl

2015-11-29T21:34:58Z

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.
