From 090ee26fd51270cc3bd54a0efbc716ede320ad27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier González Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2018 13:12:01 +0200 Subject: lightnvm: use internal allocation for chunk log page MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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.
