Large write BIOs that span a zone boundary are split in
blk_mq_submit_bio() before being passed to blk_zone_plug_bio() for zone
write plugging. Such split BIO will be chained with one fragment
targeting one zone and the remainder of the BIO tergetting the next
zone. The two BIOs can be executed in parallel, without a predetermine
order relative to eachother and their completion may be reversed: the
remainder first completing and the first fragment then completing. In
such case, bio_endio() will not immediately execute
blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() for the parent BIO (the remainder of the
split BIO) as the BIOs are chained. blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() for
the parent BIO will be executed only once the first fragment completes.
In the case of a device with small zones and very large BIOs, uch
completion pattern can lead to disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() to return
true for the zone of the parent BIO when the parent BIO request
completes and blk_zone_write_plug_complete_request() is executed. This
triggers the removal of the zone write plug from the hash table using
disk_remove_zone_wplug(). With the zone write plug of the parent BIO
missing, the call to disk_get_zone_wplug() in
blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() returns NULL and triggers a warning.
This patterns can be recreated fairly easily using a scsi_debug device
with small zone and btrfs. E.g.
modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 dev_size_mb=1024 sector_size=4096 \
zbc=host-managed zone_cap_mb=3 zone_nr_conv=0 zone_size_mb=4
mkfs.btrfs -f -O zoned /dev/sda
mount -t btrfs /dev/sda /mnt
fio --name=wrtest --rw=randwrite --direct=1 --ioengine=libaio \
--bs=4k --iodepth=16 --size=1M --directory=/mnt --time_based \
--runtime=10
umount /dev/sda

either when fio executes or when unmount is executed.
Fix this by modifying disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() to check that the
reference count to a zone write plug is not larger than 2, that is, that
the only references left on the zone are the caller held reference
(blk_zone_write_plug_complete_request()) and the initial extra reference
for the zone write plug taken when it was initialized (and that is
dropped when the zone write plug is removed from the hash table).
To be consistent with this change, make sure to drop the request or BIO
held reference to the zone write plug before calling
disk_zone_wplug_unplug_bio(). All references are also dropped using
disk_put_zone_wplug() instead of atomic_dec() to ensure that the zone
write plug is freed if it needs to be.
Comments are also improved to clarify zone write plugs reference
handling.
