pblk performs recovery of open lines by storing the LBA in the per LBA
metadata field. Recovery therefore only works for drives that has this
field.
This patch adds support for packed metadata, which store l2p mapping
for open lines in last sector of every write unit and enables drives
without per IO metadata to recover open lines.
After this patch, drives with OOB size <16B will use packed metadata
and metadata size larger than16B will continue to use the device per
IO metadata.

Currently lightnvm and pblk uses single DMA pool, for which the entry
size always is equal to PAGE_SIZE. The contents of each entry allocated
from the DMA pool consists of a PPA list (8bytes * 64), leaving
56bytes * 64 space for metadata. Since the metadata field can be bigger,
such as 128 bytes, the static size does not cover this use-case.
This patch adds support for I/O metadata above 56 bytes by changing DMA
pool size based on device meta size and allows pblk to use OOB metadata

In a worst-case scenario (random writes), OP% of sectors

to move data out of 100/OP% lines to free a single line.
So, to prevent the possibility of running out of lines,
temporarily block user writes when there is less than

Also ensure that pblk creation does not produce instances
with insufficient over provisioning.
Insufficient over-provising is not a problem on real hardware,

pblk's write buffer must guarantee that it respects the device's
constrains for reads (i.e., mw_cunits). This is done by maintaining a
backpointer that updates the L2P table as entries wrap up, making them
point to the media instead of pointing to the write buffer.
This mechanism can race in case that the write thread stalls, as the
write pointer will protect the last written entry, thus disregarding the
read constrains.
This patch adds an extra check on wrap up, making sure that the
threshold is respected at all times, preventing new entries to overwrite
committed data, also in case of write thread stall.

OCSSD 2.0 defines the amount of data that the host must buffer per chunk
to guarantee reads through the geometry field mw_cunits. This value is
the base that pblk uses to determine the size of its read buffer.
Currently, this size is set to be the closes power-of-2 to mw_cunits
times the number of parallel units available to the pblk instance for
each open line (currently one). When an entry (4KB) is put in the
buffer, the L2P table points to it. As the buffer wraps up, the L2P is
updated to point to addresses on the device, thus guaranteeing mw_cunits
at a chunk level.
However, given that pblk cannot write to the device under ws_min
(normally ws_opt), there might be a window in which the buffer starts
wrapping up and updating L2P entries before the mw_cunits value in a
chunk has been surpassed.
In order not to violate the mw_cunits constrain in this case, account
for ws_opt on the read buffer creation.

(pblk-rb.c). This simplifies creation/destruction routines.

The lightnvm subsystem provides helpers to retrieve chunk metadata,
where the target needs to provide a buffer to store the metadata. An
implicit assumption is that this buffer is contiguous and can be used to
retrieve the data from the device. If the device exposes too many
chunks, then kmalloc might fail, thus failing instance creation.
This patch removes this assumption by implementing an internal buffer in
the lightnvm subsystem to retrieve chunk metadata. Targets can then
use virtual memory allocations. Since this is a target API change, adapt
pblk accordingly.

pblk implements two data paths for recovery line state. One for 1.2
and another for 2.0, instead of having pblk implement these, combine
them in the core to reduce complexity and make available to other
targets.
The new interface will adhere to the 2.0 chunk definition,
including managing open chunks with an active write pointer. To provide
this interface, a 1.2 device recovers the state of the chunks by
manually detecting if a chunk is either free/open/close/offline, and if
open, scanning the flash pages sequentially to find the next writeable
page. This process takes on average ~10 seconds on a device with 64 dies,
1024 blocks and 60us read access time. The process can be parallelized
but is left out for maintenance simplicity, as the 1.2 specification is
deprecated. For 2.0 devices, the logic is maintained internally in the
drive and retrieved through the 2.0 interface.
