Hi Jens, A bunch of patches for 4.10 have been prepared. Javier has been busy eliminating abstractions in the LightNVM interface. Mainly killing generic nvm_block and nvm_lun, which simplifies the locking mechanism within targets. He also added a couple of new hints and error codes that are useful for the hardware. I have a small fix to fix a wrong free, and also a larger patch that attaches the sysfs entries added in 4.9 to attach to the native nvme gendisk. With these patches, the pblk target is ready to be upstreamed. If nothing comes along to delay it, we will push it in the next cycle. Please pick up. Thanks, Matias Javier González (21): lightnvm: enable to send hint to erase command lightnvm: do not protect block 0 lightnvm: export set bad block table lightnvm: add ECC error codes lightnvm: rrpc: split bios of size > 256kb lightnvm: remove sysfs configuration interface lightnvm: cleanup unused target operations lightnvm: make address conversion functions global lightnvm: remove unnecessary variables in rrpc lightnvm: use constant name instead of value lightnvm: remove gen_lun abstraction lightnvm: manage lun partitions internally in mm lightnvm: move block provisioning to targets lightnvm: remove get_lun operation on gennvm lightnvm: remove debug lun statistics from gennvm lightnvm: eliminate nvm_block abstraction on mm lightnvm: eliminate nvm_lun abstraction in mm lightnvm: introduce helpers for generic ops in rrpc lightnvm: introduce max_phys_sects helper function lightnvm: use target nvm on target-specific ops. lightnvm: transform target get/set bad block Matias Bjørling (2): nvme: lightnvm: frees wrong cmd structure nvme: lightnvm: attach lightnvm sysfs to nvme block device drivers/lightnvm/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/lightnvm/core.c | 375 +++++++++++------------- drivers/lightnvm/gennvm.c | 663 +++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- drivers/lightnvm/gennvm.h | 34 ++- drivers/lightnvm/lightnvm.h | 35 --- drivers/lightnvm/rrpc.c | 514 +++++++++++++++++++++------------ drivers/lightnvm/rrpc.h | 65 ++++- drivers/lightnvm/sysblk.c | 98 +++---- drivers/lightnvm/sysfs.c | 198 ------------- drivers/nvme/host/core.c | 45 ++- drivers/nvme/host/lightnvm.c | 192 ++++++++++++- drivers/nvme/host/nvme.h | 31 +- include/linux/lightnvm.h | 244 ++++++++-------- 13 files changed, 1278 insertions(+), 1218 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 drivers/lightnvm/lightnvm.h delete mode 100644 drivers/lightnvm/sysfs.c -- 2.9.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
