[PATCH v5 0/5] Support for Open-Channel SSDs

[Matias Bjørling]

These patches implement support for Open-Channel SSDs.

Applies against axboe's linux-block/for-4.3/drivers.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Changes since v4:
 - Remove gendisk->nvm dependency
 - Remove device driver rq private field dependency.
 - Update submission and completion. The flow is now
     Target -> Block Manager -> Device Driver, replacing callbacks in
     device driver.
 - Abstracted out the block manager into its own module. Other block
   managers can now be implemented. For example to support fully
   host-based SSDs.
 - No longer exposes the device driver gendisk to user-space.
 - Management is moved into /sys/modules/lnvm/parameters/configure_debug

Changes since v3:

 - Remove dependency on REQ_NVM_GC
 - Refactor nvme integration to use nvme_submit_sync_cmd for
   internal commands.
 - Fix race condition bug on multiple threads on RRPC target.
 - Rename sysfs entry under the block device from nvm to lightnvm.
   The configuration is found in /sys/block/*/lightnvm/

Changes since v2:

 Feedback from Paul Bolle:
 - Fix license to GPLv2, documentation, compilation.
 Feedback from Keith Busch:
 - nvme: Move lightnvm out and into nvme-lightnvm.c.
 - nvme: Set controller css on lightnvm command set.
 - nvme: Remove OACS.
 Feedback from Christoph Hellwig:
 - lightnvm: Move out of block layer into /drivers/lightnvm/core.c
 - lightnvm: refactor request->phys_sector into device drivers.
 - lightnvm: refactor prep/unprep into device drivers.
 - lightnvm: move nvm_dev from request_queue to gendisk.

 New
 - Bad block table support (From Javier).
 - Update maintainers file.

Changes since v1:

 - Splitted LightNVM into two parts. A get/put interface for flash
   blocks and the respective targets that implement flash translation
   layer logic.
 - Updated the patches according to the LightNVM specification changes.
 - Added interface to add/remove targets for a block device.

Thanks to Jens Axboe, Christoph Hellwig, Keith Busch, Javier Gonzalez
and Jesper Madsen for discussions and contributions.
