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.

Hi Matias,

I like this new architecture.

Minor nitpicks below:

No need to state the file name in the top of the file comments, it
doesn't add value and get stale easily.

Please add a nvm_ prefix to these.

No need to implement these empty methods.

Turn this into an lockdep_assert_held in the code, please.

No need to pass a gendisk here, in fact LighNVM low level driver
shouldn't even need to allocate one.  The only thing you seem to be
using here is the name anyway.

Same here.

Thanks, great to hear. :)

I will get the nitpicks fixed.
