[PATCH 00/20] LightNVM: pblk patches for 4.13

["Javier González" <jg@lightnvm.io>]

Hi Matias,

Here you have the pblk patchset for this window.

Apart from small fixes for LightNVM core and pblk, there are three
relevant changes:

 - Metadata for each line is no longer issued on a separate workqueue,
   but instead, all I/Os are scheduled on the write thread. This allows
   to have more control over LUN collisions. The result is that we can
   use the full bandwidth of the device for user data. In the 4.12 pblk,
   we use ~25% of the bandwidth for metadata.

 - The rate-limiter and GC have been tuned to keep the GC writer busy.
   Also, capacity per line is guaranteed for GC I/O as we reach
   capacity.

 - We have now a FTL state machine. This allows to fail gracefully to
   user space in case of irrecoverable errors. This state machine will
   be the base for the pblk's FTL log.

The patches apply into your for-4.13/core. You can also find them in:

Thanks,
Javier
