Commit Message

Igor Konopko Nov. 29, 2018, 7:16 a.m. UTC
In current pblk implementation, l2p mapping for not closed lines
is always stored only in OOB metadata and recovered from it.

Such a solution does not provide data integrity when drives does
not have such a OOB metadata space.

The goal of this patch is to add support for so called packed
metadata, which store l2p mapping for open lines in last sector
of every write unit.

After this set of changes, drives with OOB size <16B will use
packed metadata, when >=16B will continue to use OOB metadata.
