The generic stacking of limits implemented in the block layer cannot
correctly handle stacking of zone resource limits (max open zones and
max active zones) because these limits are for an entire device but the
stacking may be for a portion of that device (e.g. a dm-linear target
that does not cover an entire block device). As a result, when DM
devices are created on top of zoned block devices, the DM device never
has any zone resource limits advertized, which is only correct if all
underlying target devices also have no zone resource limits.
If at least one target device has resource limits, the user may see
either performance issues (if the max open zone limit of the device is
exceeded) or write I/O errors if the max active zone limit of one of
the underlying target devices is exceeded.
While it is very difficult to correctly and reliably stack zone resource
limits in general, cases where targets are not sharing zone resources of
the same device can be dealt with relatively easily. Such situation
happens when a target maps all sequential zones of a zoned block device:
for such mapping, other targets mapping other parts of the same zoned
block device can only contain conventional zones and thus will not
require any zone resource to correctly handle write operations.
For a mapped device constructed with such targets, which includes mapped
devices constructed with targets mapping entire zoned block devices, the
zone resource limits can be reliably determined using the non-zero
minimum of the zone resource limits of all targets.
For mapped devices that include targets partially mapping the set of
sequential write required zones of zoned block devices, instead of
advertizing no zone resource limits, it is also better to set the mapped
device limits to the non-zero minimum of the limits of all targets. In
this case the limits for a target depend on the number of sequential
zones being mapped: if this number of zone is larger than the limits,
then the limits of the device apply and can be used. If on the other
hand the target maps a number of zones smaller than the limits, then no
limits is needed and we can assume that the target has no limits (limits
set to 0).
This commit improves zone resource limits handling as described above
using the function dm_set_zone_resource_limits(). This function is
executed from dm_set_zones_restrictions() and iterates the targets of a
mapped device to evaluate the max open and max active zone limits. This
relies on an internal "stacking" of the limits of the target devices
combined with a direct counting of the number of sequential zones
mapped by the targets.
1) For a target mapping an entire zoned block device, the limits for the
target are set to the limits of the device.
2) For a target partially mapping a zoned block device, the number of
mapped sequential zones is used to determine the limits: if the
target maps more sequential write required zones than the device
limits, then the limits of the device are used as-is. If the number
of mapped sequential zones is lower than the limits, then we assume
that the target has no limits (limits set to 0).
As this evaluation is done for each target, the zone resource limits
for the mapped device are evaluated as the non-zero minimum of the
limits of all the targets.
For configurations resulting in unreliable limits, i.e. a table
containing a target partially mapping a zoned device, a warning message
is issued.
The counting of mapped sequential zones for the target is done using the
new function dm_device_count_zones() which performs a report zones on
the entire block device with the callback dm_device_count_zones_cb().
This count of mapped sequential zones is used to determine if the mapped
device contains only conventional zones. This allows simplifying
dm_set_zones_restrictions() to not do a report zones. For mapped devices
mapping only conventional zones, dm_set_zone_resource_limits() changes
the mapped device to a regular device.
To further cleanup dm_set_zones_restrictions(), the message about the
type of zone append (native or emulated) is moved inside
dm_revalidate_zones().
