1 pblk: Physical Block Device Target 2 ================================== 3 4 pblk implements a fully associative, host-based FTL that exposes a traditional 5 block I/O interface. Its primary responsibilities are: 6 7 - Map logical addresses onto physical addresses (4KB granularity) in a 8 logical-to-physical (L2P) table. 9 - Maintain the integrity and consistency of the L2P table as well as its 10 recovery from normal tear down and power outage. 11 - Deal with controller- and media-specific constrains. 12 - Handle I/O errors. 13 - Implement garbage collection. 14 - Maintain consistency across the I/O stack during synchronization points. 15 16 For more information please refer to: 17 18 http://lightnvm.io 19 20 which maintains updated FAQs, manual pages, technical documentation, tools, 21 contacts, etc.
