I strongly disagree with adding code that would mask implantation

If we want more internal checks, we could add an if statement that
would only be compiled in if CONFIG_NVM_PBLK_DEBUG is enabled.


Not sure who this is for - better not to top post.

In any case, this is a spec grey zone. I’m ok with cleaning the bits as
they mean nothing for the reset command. If you feel that strongly about
this, you can take if with Igor.

Pardon the top-post. It was meant for both you and Igor.


OCSSD 2.0 spec for vector chunk reset (chapter 2.2.2) explicitly says
"The addresses in the LBA list shall be the first logical block address
of each chunk to be reset.". So in my understanding we suppose to clear
the sectors bits of the PPA address in order to be spec compliant.


Agree. And since ppa_addr is allocated on the stack, it should be either
memset or the remaining fields should be set to 0. Maybe better to zero
initialize in declaration?

Ah, I thought this was not needed, as ppa is initialized as:

ppa = pblk->luns[bit].bppa; /* set ch and lun */

and luns[bit].bppa is initialized to on a value that originally comes
from drivers/lightnvm/core.c:196
(and that's explicitly zeroing all 64 bits before setting ch and lun)

Let me know if i don't make sense here.


I just noticed the same.

In two places (pblk-core:1095 and pblk-map:205) we are using values initialized previously in core.c - so my changes are not needed here.

But still there is one place (pblk-map:163) where we initializing erase_ppa based on ppa_list[i], which has PPA sector set in most of the cases, so this zeroing is still needed here.

In current pblk implementation of erase command
there is a chance tha sector bits are set to some
random values for erase PPA. This is unexpected
situation, since erase shall be always chunk
aligned. This patch fixes that issue

I’m fine with adding this, but note that there is actually no
requirement for the erase to be chunk aligned - the only bits that
should be looked at are group, PU and chunk.
