Hi, NVMeOF Host is capable of handling the NVMe Protocol based Zoned Block Devices (ZBD) in the ZNS mode with the passthru backend. There is no support for a generic block device backend to handle the ZBD devices which are not NVMe devices. This adds support to export the ZBD drives (which are not NVMe drives) to host from the target with NVMeOF using the host side ZNS interface. The patch series is generated in bottom-top manner where, it first adds prep patch and ZNS command-specific handlers on the top of genblk and updates the data structures, then one by one it wires up the admin cmds in the order host calls them in namespace initializing sequence. Once everything is ready, it wires-up the I/O command handlers. See below for patch-series overview. I've tested the ZoneFS testcases with the null_blk memory backed NVMeOF namespace with nvme-loop transport. The only testcase is failing in #12 on both null blk and NVMeOF ZBD backe by null_blk. It uses invalid block device to format zonefs and doesn't do anyting with the input device, still looking into it. Regards, Chaitanya Changes from V2:- 1. Move conventional zone bitmap check into nvmet_bdev_validate_zns_zones(). 2. Don't use report zones call to check the runt zone. 3. Trim nvmet_zasl() helper. 4. Fix typo in the nvmet_zns_update_zasl(). 5. Remove the comment and fix the mdts calculation in nvmet_execute_identify_cns_cs_ctrl(). 6. Use u64 for bufsize in nvmet_bdev_execute_zone_mgmt_recv(). 7. Remove nvmet_zones_to_desc_size() and fix the nr_zones calculation. 8. Remove the op variable in nvmet_bdev_execute_zone_append(). 9. Fix the nr_zones calculation nvmet_bdev_execute_zone_mgmt_recv(). 10. Update cover letter subject. Changes from V1:- 1. Remove the nvmet-$(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED) += zns.o. 2. Mark helpers inline. 3. Fix typos in the comments and update the comments. 4. Get rid of the curly brackets. 5. Don't allow drives with last smaller zones. 6. Calculate the zasl as a function of ax_zone_append_sectors, bio_max_pages so we don't have to split the bio. 7. Add global subsys->zasl and update the zasl when new namespace is enabled. 8. Rmove the loop in the nvmet_bdev_execute_zone_mgmt_recv() and move functionality in to the report zone callback. 9. Add goto for default case in nvmet_bdev_execute_zone_mgmt_send(). 10. Allocate the zones buffer with zones size instead of bdev nr_zones. Chaitanya Kulkarni (9): block: export __bio_iov_append_get_pages() Prep patch needed for implementing Zone Append. nvmet: add ZNS support for bdev-ns Core Command handlers and various helpers for ZBD backend which will be called by target-core/target-admin etc. nvmet: trim down id-desclist to use req->ns Cleanup needed to avoid the code repetation for passing extra function parameters for ZBD backend handlers. nvmet: add NVME_CSI_ZNS in ns-desc for zbdev Allows host to identify zoned namesapce. nvmet: add cns-cs-ctrl in id-ctrl for ZNS bdev Allows host to identify controller with the ZBD-ZNS. nvmet: add cns-cs-ns in id-ctrl for ZNS bdev Allows host to identify namespace with the ZBD-ZNS. nvmet: add zns cmd effects to support zbdev Allows host to support the ZNS commands when zoned-blkdev is selected. nvmet: add zns bdev config support Allows user to override any target namespace attributes for ZBD. nvmet: add ZNS based I/O cmds handlers Handlers for Zone-Mgmt-Send/Zone-Mgmt-Recv/Zone-Append block/bio.c | 3 +- drivers/nvme/target/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/nvme/target/admin-cmd.c | 38 ++- drivers/nvme/target/io-cmd-bdev.c | 12 + drivers/nvme/target/io-cmd-file.c | 2 +- drivers/nvme/target/nvmet.h | 19 ++ drivers/nvme/target/zns.c | 426 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/bio.h | 1 + 8 files changed, 487 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/nvme/target/zns.c # for i in nvme1n1 nullb1 ; do ./zonefs-tests.sh /dev/$i; done Gathering information on /dev/nvme1n1... zonefs-tests on /dev/nvme1n1: 4 zones (0 conventional zones, 4 sequential zones) 524288 512B sectors zone size (256 MiB) 1 max open zones Running tests Test 0010: mkzonefs (options) ...
