      nvme: LightNVM support · ca064085
      Matias Bjørling 提交于
      The first generation of Open-Channel SSDs is based on NVMe. The NVMe
      driver is extended with support for the LightNVM command set.
      
      Detection is made through PCI IDs. Current supported devices are the
      qemu nvme simulator and CNEX Labs Westlake SSD. The qemu nvme enables
      support through vendor specific bits in the namespace identification and
      the CNEX Labs Westlake SSD implements a LightNVM compatible firmware and
      is detected using the same method as qemu.
      
      After detection, vendor specific codes are used to identify the device
      and enumerate supported features.

      rrpc: Round-robin sector target with cost-based gc · ae1519ec
      Matias Bjørling 提交于
      This target allows an Open-Channel SSD to be exposed asas a block
      device.
      
      It implements a round-robin approach for sector allocation,
      together with a greedy cost-based garbage collector.

      gennvm: Generic NVM manager · 48add0f5
      Matias Bjørling 提交于
      The implementation for Open-Channel SSDs is divided into media
      management and targets. This patch implements a generic media manager
      for open-channel SSDs. After a media manager has been initialized,
      single or multiple targets can be instantiated with the media managed as
      the backend.

      lightnvm: Support for Open-Channel SSDs · cd9e9808
      Matias Bjørling 提交于
      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.

      Merge branch 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile · 30c44659
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.
      
      Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
      the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.
      
      The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
      than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
      interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.
      
      strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
      overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
      zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.
      
      strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
      the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
      which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
      that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
      you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
      error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
      subtle.
      
      strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
      (but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
      making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
      doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
      untrusted source data too.
      
      So why did I waffle about this for so long?
      
      Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
      these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.
      
      And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
      conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
      Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
      span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
      of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.
      
      So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
      But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
      places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
      that aren't actually known to be broken.

      MIPS: scall: Always run the seccomp syscall filters · d218af78
      Markos Chandras 提交于
      The MIPS syscall handler code used to return -ENOSYS on invalid
      syscalls. Whilst this is expected, it caused problems for seccomp
      filters because the said filters never had the change to run since
      the code returned -ENOSYS before triggering them. This caused
      problems on the chromium testsuite for filters looking for invalid
      syscalls. This has now changed and the seccomp filters are always
      run even if the syscall is invalid. We return -ENOSYS once we
      return from the seccomp filters. Moreover, similar codepaths have
      been merged in the process which simplifies somewhat the overall
      syscall code.
