pblk: Physical Block Device Target
 | 
						|
==================================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
pblk implements a fully associative, host-based FTL that exposes a traditional
 | 
						|
block I/O interface. Its primary responsibilities are:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  - Map logical addresses onto physical addresses (4KB granularity) in a
 | 
						|
    logical-to-physical (L2P) table.
 | 
						|
  - Maintain the integrity and consistency of the L2P table as well as its
 | 
						|
    recovery from normal tear down and power outage.
 | 
						|
  - Deal with controller- and media-specific constrains.
 | 
						|
  - Handle I/O errors.
 | 
						|
  - Implement garbage collection.
 | 
						|
  - Maintain consistency across the I/O stack during synchronization points.
