[PATCH v9 01/17] block: Introduce more member variables related to zone write locking

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Many but not all storage controllers require serialization of zoned writes.
Introduce two new request queue limit member variables related to write
serialization. 'driver_preserves_write_order' allows block drivers to
indicate that the order of write commands is preserved and hence that
serialization of writes per zone is not required. 'use_zone_write_lock' is
set by disk_set_zoned() if and only if the block device has zones and if
the block driver does not preserve the order of write requests.
