So, in MCQ mode, we are re-directing all zoned writes to one HW queue to preserve the write order, is my understanding correct?
That's somewhat but not entirely correct. As one can see in patch 20/26, the software queue (and hence also the hardware queue) that was selected for zoned writes is unselected after all pending zoned writes for a given zone have completed: + if (refcount_read(&zwplug->ref) == 2) + zwplug->swq_cpu = -1; So the next time a write bio or write request is submitted a different queue may be selected. Thanks, Bart.
