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. Signed-off-by: NMatias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

During get_bb_tbl, a callback is used to allow an user-specific scan function to be called. The callback may return an error, and in that case, the return value is overridden. However, the callback error is needed when the fault is a user error and not a kernel error. For example, when a user tries to initialize the same device twice. The get_bb_tbl callback should be able to communicate this. Signed-off-by: NMatias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

To implement sync I/O support within the LightNVM core, the end_io functions are refactored to take an end_io function pointer instead of testing for initialized media manager, followed by calling its end_io function. Sync I/O can then be implemented using a callback that signal I/O completion. This is similar to the logic found in blk_to_execute_io(). By implementing it this way, the underlying device I/Os submission logic is abstracted away from core, targets, and media managers.

In sctp_close, sctp_make_abort_user may return NULL because of memory allocation failure. If this happens, it will bypass any state change and never free the assoc. The assoc has no chance to be freed and it will be kept in memory with the state it had even after the socket is closed by sctp_close(). So if sctp_make_abort_user fails to allocate memory, we should abort the asoc via sctp_primitive_ABORT as well. Just like the annotation in sctp_sf_cookie_wait_prm_abort and sctp_sf_do_9_1_prm_abort said, "Even if we can't send the ABORT due to low memory delete the TCB. This is a departure from our typical NOMEM handling". But then the chunk is NULL (low memory) and the SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd would dereference the chunk pointer, and system crash. So we should add SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd only when the chunk is not NULL, just like other places where it adds SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd.

Commit ceb5d58b ("net: fix sock_wake_async() rcu protection") from the current 4.4 release cycle introduced a new flags member in struct socket_wq and moved SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA from struct socket's flags member into that new place. Unfortunately, the new flags field is never initialized properly, at least not for the struct socket_wq instance created in sock_alloc_inode(). One particular issue I encountered because of this is that my GNU Emacs failed to draw anything on my desktop -- i.e. what I got is a transparent window, including the title bar. Bisection lead to the commit mentioned above and further investigation by means of strace told me that Emacs is indeed speaking to my Xorg through an O_ASYNC AF_UNIX socket. This is reproducible 100% of times and the fact that properly initializing the struct socket_wq ->flags fixes the issue leads me to the conclusion that somehow SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA got set in the uninitialized ->flags, preventing my Emacs from receiving any SIGIO's due to data becoming available and it got stuck. Make sock_alloc_inode() set the newly created struct socket_wq's ->flags member to zero.

mod_zone_page_state() takes a "delta" integer argument. delta contains the number of pages that should be added or subtracted from a struct zone's vm_stat field. If a zone is larger than 8TB this will cause overflows. E.g. for a zone with a size slightly larger than 8TB the line mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_ALLOC_BATCH, zone->managed_pages); in mm/page_alloc.c:free_area_init_core() will result in a negative result for the NR_ALLOC_BATCH entry within the zone's vm_stat, since 8TB contain 0x8xxxxxxx pages which will be sign extended to a negative value. Fix this by changing the delta argument to long type. This could fix an early boot problem seen on s390, where we have a 9TB system with only one node. ZONE_DMA contains 2GB and ZONE_NORMAL the rest. The system is trying to allocate a GFP_DMA page but ZONE_DMA is completely empty, so it tries to reclaim pages in an endless loop. This was seen on a heavily patched 3.10 kernel. One possible explaination seem to be the overflows caused by mod_zone_page_state(). Unfortunately I did not have the chance to verify that this patch actually fixes the problem, since I don't have access to the system right now. However the overflow problem does exist anyway. Given the description that a system with slightly less than 8TB does work, this seems to be a candidate for the observed problem.

test_pages_in_a_zone() does not account for the possibility of missing sections in the given pfn range. pfn_valid_within always returns 1 when CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is not set, allowing invalid pfns from missing sections to pass the test, leading to a kernel oops. Wrap an additional pfn loop with PAGES_PER_SECTION granularity to check for missing sections before proceeding into the zone-check code. This also prevents a crash from offlining memory devices with missing sections. Despite this, it may be a good idea to keep the related patch '[PATCH 3/3] drivers: memory: prohibit offlining of memory blocks with missing sections' because missing sections in a memory block may lead to other problems not covered by the scope of this fix.
