When the media manager runs in dual or quad plane mode, lightnvm
abstracts away plane specific commands. This poses a problem for
get bad block table, as it reports bad blocks per plane, making the
table either two or four times bigger than expected. Fold the bad block
list before returning.

Now that a device can be managed using the system blocks, a method to
reset the device is necessary as well. This patch introduces logic to
reset the device easily to factory state and exposes it through an
ioctl.
The ioctl takes the following flags:
NVM_FACTORY_ERASE_ONLY_USER
By default all blocks, except host-reserved blocks are erased upon
factory reset. Instead of this, only erase host-reserved blocks.
NVM_FACTORY_RESET_HOST_BLKS
Mark host-reserved blocks to be erased and set their type to free.
NVM_FACTORY_RESET_GRWN_BBLKS
Mark "grown bad blocks" to be erased and set their type to free.

Use system block information to register the appropriate media manager.
This enables the LightNVM subsystem to instantiate a media manager
selected by the user, instead of relying on automatic detection by each
media manager loaded in the kernel.
A device must now be initialized before it can proceed to initialize its
media manager. Upon initialization, the configured media manager is
automatically initialized as well.

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.

NAND MLC memories have both lower and upper pages. When programming,
both of these must be written, before data can be read. However,
these lower and upper pages might not placed at even and odd flash
pages, but can be skipped. Therefore each flash memory has its lower
pages defined, which can then be used when programming and to know when
padding are necessary.
This patch implements the lower page definition in the specification,
and exposes it through a simple lookup table at dev->lptbl.

LightNVM targets need to know the state of the flash block when doing
flash optimizations. An example is implementing a write buffer to
respect the flash page size. Currently, block state is not accounted
for; the media manager only differentiates among free, bad and in-use
blocks.
This patch adds the logic in the generic media manager to enable
targets manage blocks into open and close separately, and it implements
such management in rrpc. It also adds a set of flags to describe the
state of the block (open, closed, free, bad).
In order to avoid taking two locks (nvm_lun and rrpc_lun) consecutively,
we introduce lockless get_/put_block primitives so that the open and
close list locks and future common logic is handled within the nvm_lun
lock.

To implement sync I/O support within the LightNVM core, the end_io
functions are refactored to take an end_io function pointer instead of
testing for initialized media manager, followed by calling its end_io
function.
Sync I/O can then be implemented using a callback that signal I/O
completion. This is similar to the logic found in blk_to_execute_io().
By implementing it this way, the underlying device I/Os submission logic
is abstracted away from core, targets, and media managers.

This patch fixes two issues during media manager registration.
1. The ppa pool can be used at media manager registration. Allocate the
ppa pool before that.
2. If a media manager can't be found, this should not lead to the
device being unallocated. A media manager can be registered later, that
can manage the device. Only warn if a media manager fails
initialization.

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.
