[PATCH v2 00/14] Zone write plugging fixes and cleanup

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

 



Jens, Mike,

With more testing of zone write plugging on more device setups,
including weird/test setups (with scsi debug and null_blk), several
issues were identified. This patch series addresses them and cleanup the
code a little to try to make it more obvious.

The first patch is a DM modification to not expose zoned devices
composed solely of conventional zones as zoned block devices. The second
patch is a fix partly related to this to expose a correct max open zones
limit for devices with no limits (which DM devices are as the max
open/active limit is not propagated to the mapped device as there is no
easy way to do that).

Patches 3 to 9 are bug fixes. The most serious problem among theses was
detected with tests using scsi_debug zoned devices and is fixed in
patch 7.

Patches 10 to 14 improve and cleanup the code.

Changes from v1:
 - Changed patch 4 as suggested by Christoph
 - Added additional comments in patch 7 to clarify the check for the
   zone write plug reference count in disk_should_remove_zone_wplug()
 - Added patch 14
 - Added review tags
