2016-03-19lightnvm: specify target's logical address areaWenwei Tao
We can create more than one target on a lightnvm device by specifying its begin lun and end lun. But only specify the physical address area is not enough, we need to get the corresponding non- intersection logical address area division from the backend device's logcial address space. Otherwise the targets on the device might use the same logical addresses cause incorrect information in the device's l2p table.

2015-11-16lightnvm: update bad block table formatMatias Bjørling
The specification was changed to reflect a multi-value bad block table. Instead of bit-based bad block table, the bad block table now allows eight bad block categories. Currently four are defined: * Factory bad blocks * Grown bad blocks * Device-side reserved blocks * Host-side reserved blocks The factory and grown bad blocks are the regular bad blocks. The reserved blocks are either for internal use or external use. In particular, the device-side reserved blocks allows the host to bootstrap from a limited number of flash blocks. Reducing the flash blocks to scan upon super block initialization. Support for both get bad block table and set bad block table is added.

2015-10-29gennvm: Generic NVM managerMatias Bjørling
The implementation for Open-Channel SSDs is divided into media management and targets. This patch implements a generic media manager for open-channel SSDs. After a media manager has been initialized, single or multiple targets can be instantiated with the media managed as the backend.
