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.

lightnvm: core on-disk initialization 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.

gennvm: Generic NVM manager 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.

rrpc: Round-robin sector target with cost-based gc 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.
