pblk's write buffer must guarantee that it respects the device's
constrains for reads (i.e., mw_cunits). This is done by maintaining a
backpointer that updates the L2P table as entries wrap up, making them
point to the media instead of pointing to the write buffer.
This mechanism can race in case that the write thread stalls, as the
write pointer will protect the last written entry, thus disregarding the
read constrains.
This patch adds an extra check on wrap up, making sure that the
threshold is respected at all times, preventing new entries to overwrite
committed data, also in case of write thread stall.

OCSSD 2.0 defines the amount of data that the host must buffer per chunk
to guarantee reads through the geometry field mw_cunits. This value is
the base that pblk uses to determine the size of its read buffer.
Currently, this size is set to be the closes power-of-2 to mw_cunits
times the number of parallel units available to the pblk instance for
each open line (currently one). When an entry (4KB) is put in the
buffer, the L2P table points to it. As the buffer wraps up, the L2P is
updated to point to addresses on the device, thus guaranteeing mw_cunits
at a chunk level.
However, given that pblk cannot write to the device under ws_min
(normally ws_opt), there might be a window in which the buffer starts
wrapping up and updating L2P entries before the mw_cunits value in a
chunk has been surpassed.
In order not to violate the mw_cunits constrain in this case, account
for ws_opt on the read buffer creation.

pblk's read/write buffer currently takes a buffer and its size and uses
it to create the metadata around it to use it as a ring buffer. This
puts the responsibility of allocating/freeing ring buffer memory on the
ring buffer user. Instead, move it inside of the ring buffer helpers
(pblk-rb.c). This simplifies creation/destruction routines.

pblk's read/write buffer is always a power-of-2, thus wrapping up the
buffer can be done with a bit mask. Since this is an implementation
detail internal to the write buffer, make a helper that hides pointer
increment + wrap, and allows to transparently relax this assumption in
the future.

pblk exposes a sysfs interface that represents its internal state. Part
of this state is the map bitmap for the current open line, which should

metadata. Currently, it is not.

bitmap pointers are not dereferenced.

In the OCSSD 2.0 spec, each chunk reports its write pointer. This means
that pblk does not need to scan open lines to find the write pointer,
but instead, it can retrieve it directly (and verify it).
This patch uses the write pointer on open lines to (i) recover the line
up until the last written lba and (ii) reconstruct the map bitmap and
rest of line metadata so that the line can be used for new data.
Since the 1.2 path in lightnvm core has been re-implemented to populate
the chunk structure and thus recover the write pointer on
initialization, this patch removes 1.2 specific recovery, as the 2.0
path can be reused.

pblk guarantees write ordering at a chunk level through a per open chunk
semaphore. At this point, since we only have an open I/O stream for both
user and GC data, the semaphore is per parallel unit.
For the metadata I/O that is synchronous, the semaphore is not needed as
ordering is guaranteed. However, if the metadata scheme changes or
multiple streams are open, this guarantee might not be preserved.
This patch makes sure that all writes go through the semaphore, even for
synchronous I/O. This is consistent with pblk's write I/O model. It also
simplifies maintenance since changes in the metadata scheme could cause
ordering issues.

pblk maintains two different metadata paths for smeta and emeta, which
store metadata at the start of the line and at the end of the line,
respectively. Until now, these path has been common for writing and
retrieving metadata, however, as these paths diverge, the common code
becomes less clear and unnecessary complicated.
In preparation for further changes to the metadata write path, this
patch separates the write and read paths for smeta and emeta and
removes the synchronous emeta path as it not used anymore (emeta is
scheduled asynchronously to prevent jittering due to internal I/Os).

The lightnvm subsystem provides helpers to retrieve chunk metadata,
where the target needs to provide a buffer to store the metadata. An
implicit assumption is that this buffer is contiguous and can be used to
retrieve the data from the device. If the device exposes too many
chunks, then kmalloc might fail, thus failing instance creation.
This patch removes this assumption by implementing an internal buffer in
the lightnvm subsystem to retrieve chunk metadata. Targets can then
use virtual memory allocations. Since this is a target API change, adapt
pblk accordingly.
