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: merge gennvm with core For the first iteration of Open-Channel SSDs, it was anticipated that there could be various media managers on top of an open-channel SSD, such to allow vendors to plug in their own host-side FTLs, without the media manager in between. Now that an Open-Channel SSD is exposed as a traditional block device, there is no longer a need for this. Therefore lets merge the gennvm code with core and simplify the stack.

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.
