[PATCH 0/3] Rework write error handling in pblk

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch series fixes the(currently incomplete) write error handling 
in pblk by:

 * queuing and re-submitting failed writes in the write buffer
 * evacuating valid data data in lines with write failures, so the
   chunk(s) with write failures can be reset to a known state by the fw

Lines with failures in smeta are put back on the free list.
Failed chunks will be reset on the next use.

If a write failes in emeta, the lba list is cached so the line can be 
garbage collected without scanning the out-of-band area.

  lightnvm: pblk: rework write error recovery path
  lightnvm: pblk: garbage collect lines with failed writes
  lightnvm: pblk: fix smeta write error path
