The zone reclaim processing of the dm-zoned device mapper uses
blkdev_issue_zeroout() to align the write pointer of a zone being used
for reclaiming another zone, to write the valid data blocks from the
zone being reclaimed at the same position relative to the zone start in
the reclaim target zone.
The first call to blkdev_issue_zeroout() will try to use hardware
offload using a REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation if the device reports a
non-zero max_write_zeroes_sectors queue limit. If this operation fails
because of the lack of hardware support, blkdev_issue_zeroout() falls
back to using a regular write operation with the zero-page as buffer.
Currently, such REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES failure is automatically handled by
the block layer zone write plugging code which will execute a report
zones operation to ensure that the write pointer of the target zone of
the failed operation has not changed and to "rewind" the zone write
pointer offset of the target zone as it was advanced when the write zero
operation was submitted. So the REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES failure does not
cause any issue and blkdev_issue_zeroout() works as expected.
However, since the automatic recovery of zone write pointers by the zone
write plugging code can potentially cause deadlocks with queue freeze
operations, a different recovery must be implemented in preparation for
the removal of zone write plugging report zones based recovery.
Do this by introducing the new function blk_zone_issue_zeroout(). This
function first calls blkdev_issue_zeroout() with the flag
BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK to intercept failures on the first execution
which attempt to use the device hardware offload with the
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation. If this attempt fails, a report zone
operation is issued to restore the zone write pointer offset of the
target zone to the correct position and blkdev_issue_zeroout() is called
again without the BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK flag. The report zones
operation performing this recovery is implemented using the helper
function disk_zone_sync_wp_offset() which calls the gendisk report_zones
file operation with the callback disk_report_zones_cb(). This callback
updates the target write pointer offset of the target zone using the new
function disk_zone_wplug_sync_wp_offset().
dmz_reclaim_align_wp() is modified to change its call to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() to a call to blk_zone_issue_zeroout() without any
other change needed as the two functions are functionnally equivalent.
