The LightNVM framework is divided into support for device drivers, a core part that consists of management, block managers and targets.

Current the NVMe device driver in

drivers/nvme/host/pci.c

has been extended with support for LightNVM devices through

drivers/nvme/host/lightnvm.c

The source code for the LightNVM core is placed within

drivers/lightnvm/core.c
include/linux/lightnvm.h

and pblk and rrpc targets available at:

drivers/lightnvm/pblk.[ch]
drivers/lightnvm/rrpc.[ch]

See the individual files for how to implement new targets
