offset >= max_isize is already checked when zonefs_file_write_iter() is called
and the write size truncated in that function too so that a write never goes
beyond the zone size. This check here is probably redundant and not needed. I
left it temporarily to make sure I was using iomap correctly and to check bugs.

Yes indeed. Since no access can go beyond the file size,
zonefs_file_max_size(inode) is the right value here I think, even though
LLONG_MAX would work too.

Conventional zones can be written with buffered I/Os and mmap, so recursing into
the FS on the memory allocation while holding i_mmap_sem is a possibility I
think. I changed this to GFP_NOFS.

It is not for now. As the comment says, we may want to have a wrapper like this
in the future to do a device level zone open/close in sync with file
open/release. This is not useful for SMR HDDs but probably will for NVMe zoned
namespace devices.

Similarly to the truncate (zone reset) code, GFP_NOFS is safer here. So I
changed the call to memalloc_nofs_save/restore and added a comment.

It is safe because the device will return zeros or the format pattern for sector
reads that are beyond the zone write pointer. No stale data will be exposed, as
long as the device can be trusted to correctly handle reads beyond the write
pointer.

Yes, the page cache truncation can be removed.

Yes, a check can be added but the only caller being zonefs_file_dio_aio_write()
after checking that the inode is not a conventional zone file, I thought it was
not needed.

Do you mean the stale data exposure problem ? As said above, the device
guarantees that stale data will not be returned for reads after write pointer.
Old data (data written before the last zone reset) is not readable.

Yes, I remember now that the rcu free inode code was moved as generic in VFS a

This is for ZONEFS_ZTYPE_ALL, which does not have a directory. The NULL is only

Yes. A full zone report (64B per zone) will take to 4-5MB on a 15+ TB disk. I
will comment this. Doing the big allocation to allow having all zones on hand
before creating the inodes makes the code easier. But this can be optimized with
a partial report in a loop too. I will rewrite this code to avoid the big
temporary allocation.

It is defined only to allow thee declaration of sbi->s_nr_zones as an array of
ZONEFS_ZTYPE_MAX unsigned int, so that we get 3 counters: total number of zones
is always larger or equal to conv zones + seq zones. Initially, this made the
code somewhat cleaner, but I realize now not really easier to understand :)

Yes. I guess. I was kind of reserving the s_features field for optional things,
hence the version number for on-disk mandatory things. But I may as well use it
for everything, both mandatory format features and options.

These are used for both on-disk super block and in-memory sb info.
Thank you very much for the detailed review. I will rework this and repost.
Best regards.
