[V5] nvme: enable ro namespace for ZNS without append

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

 



From: Javier González <javier.gonz@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Allow ZNS NVMe SSDs to present a read-only namespace when append is not
supported, instead of rejecting the namespace directly.

This allows (i) the namespace to be used in read-only mode, which is not
a problem as the append command only affects the write path, and (ii) to
use standard management tools such as nvme-cli to choose a different
format or firmware slot that is compatible with the Linux zoned block
device.

This patch includes comments from Christoph, Niklas and Keith that
applied to a different approach setting capacity to 0
  https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-block/msg60747.html

The reminder of the original patch will be submitted separately.

Changes since V4:
  - Revert re-reading effects to page. Wait for patches from Christoph
    on RO flag refactoring that allow to clear the flags.

Changes since V3:
  - Force re-reading effects log page (from Keith)
  - Pending proper refresh of RO flag - dependency on patch from
    Christoph

Changes since V2:
  - Fix small conflict with a queued patch from Sagi (from Christoph)
  - Fix indentation (from Niklas)
  - Refresh effects log page to account for FW changes (from Keith)

Changes since V1:
  - Change logic to use NVME_NS_ATTR_RO (from Christoph)
  - Set max_zone_append egen in RO. This allows the device to be
    properly revalidated and enables user-space tools such as blkzone to
    be used when interacting with this zoned device.
