In preparation to completely remove zone write locking, replace the "zone_wlock" mq-debugfs entry that was listing zones that are write-locked with the zone_wplugs entry which lists the zones that currently have a write plug allocated. The write plug information provided is: the zone number, the zone write plug flags, the zone write plug write pointer offset and the number of BIOs currently waiting for execution in the zone write plug BIO list.

block/blk-mq-debugfs-zone.c contains a single debugfs attribute function. Defining this outside of block/blk-zoned.c does not really help in any way, so move this zone related debugfs attribute to block/blk-zoned.c and delete block/blk-mq-debugfs-zone.c.

Zone append operations are only allowed to target sequential write required zones. blk_check_zone_append() uses bio_zone_is_seq() to check this. However, this check is not necessary because: 1) For NVMe ZNS namespace devices, only sequential write required zones exist, making the zone type check useless. 2) For null_blk, the driver will fail the request anyway, thus notifying the user that a conventional zone was targeted. 3) For all other zoned devices, zone append is now emulated using zone write plugging, which checks that a zone append operation does not target a conventional zone. In preparation for the removal of zone write locking and its conventional zone bitmap (used by bio_zone_is_seq()), remove the bio_zone_is_seq() call from blk_check_zone_append().

The only elevator feature ever implemented is ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE for signaling that a scheduler implements zone write locking to tightly control the dispatching order of write operations to zoned block devices. With the removal of zone write locking support in mq-deadline and the reliance of all block device drivers on the block layer zone write plugging to control ordering of write operations to zones, the elevator feature ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE is completely unused. Remove it, and also remove the now unused code for filtering the possible schedulers for a block device based on required features.

With the block layer generic plugging of write operations for zoned block devices, mq-deadline, or any other scheduler, can only ever see at most one write operation per zone at any time. There is thus no sequentiality requirements for these writes and thus no need to tightly control the dispatching of write requests using zone write locking. Remove all the code that implement this control in the mq-deadline scheduler and remove advertizing support for the ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE elevator feature.

For targets requiring zone append operation emulation with regular writes (e.g. dm-crypt), we can use the block layer emulation provided by zone write plugging. Remove DM implemented zone append emulation and enable the block layer one. This is done by setting the max_zone_append_sectors limit of the mapped device queue to 0 for mapped devices that have a target table that cannot support native zone append operations (e.g. dm-crypt). Such mapped devices are flagged with the DMF_EMULATE_ZONE_APPEND flag. dm_split_and_process_bio() is modified to execute blk_zone_write_plug_bio() for such device to let the block layer transform zone append operations into regular writes. This is done after ensuring that the submitted BIO is split if it straddles zone boundaries. Both changes are implemented unsing the inline helpers dm_zone_write_plug_bio() and dm_zone_bio_needs_split() respectively. dm_revalidate_zones() is also modified to use the block layer provided function blk_revalidate_disk_zones() so that all zone resources needed for zone append emulation are initialized by the block layer without DM core needing to do anything. Since the device table is not yet live when dm_revalidate_zones() is executed, enabling the use of blk_revalidate_disk_zones() requires adding a pointer to the device table in struct mapped_device. This avoids errors in dm_blk_report_zones() trying to get the table with dm_get_live_table(). The mapped device table pointer is set to the table passed as argument to dm_revalidate_zones() before calling blk_revalidate_disk_zones() and reset to NULL after this function returns to restore the live table handling for user call of report zones. All the code related to zone append emulation is removed from dm-zone.c. This leads to simplifications of the functions __map_bio() and dm_zone_endio(). This later function now only needs to deal with completions of real zone append operations for targets that support it.

In preparation for allowing BIO based device drivers to use zone write plugging and its zone append emulation, allow these drivers to call blk_revalidate_disk_zones() so that all zone resources necessary to zone write plugging can be initialized. To do so, remove the check in blk_revalidate_disk_zones() restricting the use of this function to mq request-based drivers to allow also BIO-based drivers to use it. This is safe to do as long as the BIO-based block device queue is already setup and usable, as it should, and can be safely frozen. The helper function disk_need_zone_resources() is added to control the allocation and initialization of the zone write plug hash table and of the conventional zone bitmap only for mq devices and for BIO-based devices that require zone append emulation.

Given that zone write plugging manages all writes to zones of a zoned block device and tracks the write pointer position of all zones that are not full nor empty, emulating zone append operations using regular writes can be implemented generically, without relying on the underlying device driver to implement such emulation. This is needed for devices that do not natively support the zone append command (e.g. SMR hard-disks). A device may request zone append emulation by setting its max_zone_append_sectors queue limit to 0. For such device, the function blk_zone_wplug_prepare_bio() changes zone append BIOs into non-mergeable regular write BIOs. Modified zone append BIOs are flagged with the new BIO flag BIO_EMULATES_ZONE_APPEND. This flag is checked on completion of the BIO in blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() to restore the original REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND operation code of the BIO. The block layer internal inline helper function bio_is_zone_append() is added to test if a BIO is either a native zone append operation (REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND operation code) or if it is flagged with BIO_EMULATES_ZONE_APPEND. Given that both native and emulated zone append BIO completion handling should be similar, The functions blk_update_request() and blk_zone_complete_request_bio() are modified to use bio_is_zone_append() to execute blk_zone_update_request_bio() for both native and emulated zone append operations.

In preparation for adding a generic zone append emulation using zone write plugging, allow device drivers supporting zoned block device to set a the max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of a device to 0 to indicate the lack of native support for zone append operations and that the block layer should emulate these operations using regular write operations. blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is modified to allow passing 0 as the max_zone_append_sectors argument. The function queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is also modified to ensure that the minimum of the max_hw_sectors and chunk_sectors limit is used whenever the max_zone_append_sectors limit is 0. This minimum is consistent with the value set for the max_zone_append_sectors limit by the function blk_validate_zoned_limits() when limits for a queue are validated. The helper functions queue_emulates_zone_append() and bdev_emulates_zone_append() are added to test if a queue (or block device) emulates zone append operations. In order for blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to accept zoned block devices relying on zone append emulation, the direct check to the max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of the disk is replaced by a check using the value returned by queue_max_zone_append_sectors(). Similarly, queue_zone_append_max_show() is modified to use the same accessor so that the sysfs attribute advertizes the non-zero limit that will be used, regardless if it is for native or emulated commands. For stacking drivers, a top device should not need to care if the underlying devices have native or emulated zone append operations. blk_stack_limits() is thus modified to set the top device max_zone_append_sectors limit using the new accessor queue_limits_max_zone_append_sectors(). queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is modified to use this function as well. Stacking drivers that require zone append emulation, e.g. dm-crypt, can still request this feature by calling blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() with a 0 limit.

Zone write plugging implements a per-zone "plug" for write operations to control the submission and execution order of write operations to sequential write required zones of a zoned block device. Per-zone plugging guarantees that at any time there is at most only one write request per zone being executed. This mechanism is intended to replace zone write locking which implements a similar per-zone write throttling at the scheduler level, but is implemented only by mq-deadline. Unlike zone write locking which operates on requests, zone write plugging operates on BIOs. A zone write plug is simply a BIO list that is atomically manipulated using a spinlock and a kblockd submission work. A write BIO to a zone is "plugged" to delay its execution if a write BIO for the same zone was already issued, that is, if a write request for the same zone is being executed. The next plugged BIO is unplugged and issued once the write request completes. This mechanism allows to: - Untangle zone write ordering from block IO schedulers. This allows removing the restriction on using mq-deadline for writing to zoned block devices. Any block IO scheduler, including "none" can be used. - Zone write plugging operates on BIOs instead of requests. Plugged BIOs waiting for execution thus do not hold scheduling tags and thus are not preventing other BIOs from executing (reads or writes to other zones). Depending on the workload, this can significantly improve the device use (higher queue depth operation) and performance. - Both blk-mq (request based) zoned devices and BIO-based zoned devices (e.g. device mapper) can use zone write plugging. It is mandatory for the former but optional for the latter. BIO-based drivers can use zone write plugging to implement write ordering guarantees, or the drivers can implement their own if needed. - The code is less invasive in the block layer and is mostly limited to blk-zoned.c with some small changes in blk-mq.c, blk-merge.c and bio.c. Zone write plugging is implemented using struct blk_zone_wplug. This structure includes a spinlock, a BIO list and a work structure to handle the submission of plugged BIOs. Zone write plugs structures are managed using a per-disk hash table. Plugging of zone write BIOs is done using the function blk_zone_write_plug_bio() which returns false if a BIO execution does not need to be delayed and true otherwise. This function is called from blk_mq_submit_bio() after a BIO is split to avoid large BIOs spanning multiple zones which would cause mishandling of zone write plugs. This ichange enables by default zone write plugging for any mq request-based block device. BIO-based device drivers can also use zone write plugging by expliclty calling blk_zone_write_plug_bio() in their ->submit_bio method. For such devices, the driver must ensure that a BIO passed to blk_zone_write_plug_bio() is already split and not straddling zone boundaries. Only write and write zeroes BIOs are plugged. Zone write plugging does not introduce any significant overhead for other operations. A BIO that is being handled through zone write plugging is flagged using the new BIO flag BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING. A request handling a BIO flagged with this new flag is flagged with the new RQF_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING flag. The completion of BIOs and requests flagged trigger respectively calls to the functions blk_zone_write_bio_endio() and blk_zone_write_complete_request(). The latter function is used to trigger submission of the next plugged BIO using the zone plug work. blk_zone_write_bio_endio() does the same for BIO-based devices. This ensures that at any time, at most one request (blk-mq devices) or one BIO (BIO-based devices) is being executed for any zone. The handling of zone write plugs using a per-zone plug spinlock maximizes parallelism and device usage by allowing multiple zones to be writen simultaneously without lock contention. Zone write plugging ignores flush BIOs without data. Hovever, any flush BIO that has data is always plugged so that the write part of the flush sequence is serialized with other regular writes. Given that any BIO handled through zone write plugging will be the only BIO in flight for the target zone when it is executed, the unplugging and submission of a BIO will have no chance of successfully merging with plugged requests or requests in the scheduler. To overcome this potential performance degradation, blk_mq_submit_bio() calls the function blk_zone_write_plug_attempt_merge() to try to merge other plugged BIOs with the one just unplugged and submitted. Successful merging is signaled using blk_zone_write_plug_bio_merged(), called from bio_attempt_back_merge(). Furthermore, to avoid recalculating the number of segments of plugged BIOs to attempt merging, the number of segments of a plugged BIO is saved using the new struct bio field __bi_nr_segments. To avoid growing the size of struct bio, this field is added as a union with the bio_cookie field. This is safe to do as polling is always disabled for plugged BIOs. When BIOs are plugged in a zone write plug, the device request queue usage counter is always incremented. This reference is kept and reused for blk-mq devices when the plugged BIO is unplugged and submitted again using submit_bio_noacct_nocheck(). For this case, the unplugged BIO is already flagged with BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING and blk_mq_submit_bio() proceeds directly to allocating a new request for the BIO, re-using the usage reference count taken when the BIO was plugged. This extra reference count is dropped in blk_zone_write_plug_attempt_merge() for any plugged BIO that is successfully merged. Given that BIO-based devices will not take this path, the extra reference is dropped after a plugged BIO is unplugged and submitted. Zone write plugs are dynamically allocated and managed using a hash table (an array of struct hlist_head) with RCU protection. A zone write plug is allocated when a write BIO is received for the zone and not freed until the zone is fully written, reset or finished. To detect when a zone write plug can be freed, the write state of each zone is tracked using a write pointer offset which corresponds to the offset of a zone write pointer relative to the zone start. Write operations always increment this write pointer offset. Zone reset operations set it to 0 and zone finish operations set it to the zone size. If a write error happens, the wp_offset value of a zone write plug may become incorrect and out of sync with the device managed write pointer. This is handled using the zone write plug flag BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_ERROR. The function blk_zone_wplug_handle_error() is called from the new disk zone write plug work when this flag is set. This function executes a report zone to update the zone write pointer offset to the current value as indicated by the device. The disk zone write plug work is scheduled whenever a BIO flagged with BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING completes with an error or when bio_zone_wplug_prepare_bio() detects an unaligned write. Once scheduled, the disk zone write plugs work keeps running until all zone errors are handled. To match the new data structures used for zoned disks, the function disk_free_zone_bitmaps() is renamed to the more generic disk_free_zone_resources(). The function disk_init_zone_resources() is also introduced to initialize zone write plugs resources when a gendisk is allocated. In order to guarantee that the user can simultaneously write up to a number of zones equal to a device max active zone limit or max open zone limit, zone write plugs are allocated using a mempool sized to the maximum of these 2 device limits. For a device that does not have active and open zone limits, 128 is used as the default mempool size. If a change to the device active and open zone limits is detected, the disk mempool is resized when blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is executed.

In preparation for adding zone write plugging, modify blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to get the capacity of zones of a zoned block device. This capacity value as a number of 512B sectors is stored in the gendisk zone_capacity field. Given that host-managed SMR disks (including zoned UFS drives) and all known NVMe ZNS devices have the same zone capacity for all zones blk_revalidate_disk_zones() returns an error if different capacities are detected for different zones. This also adds check to verify that the values reported by the device for zone capacities are correct, that is, that the zone capacity is never 0, does not exceed the zone size and is equal to the zone size for conventional zones.

On completion of a zone append request, the request sector indicates the location of the written data. This value must be returned to the user through the BIO iter sector. This is done in 2 places: in blk_complete_request() and in blk_update_request(). Introduce the inline helper function blk_zone_update_request_bio() to avoid duplicating this BIO update for zone append requests, and to compile out this helper call when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is not enabled.

Moving req_bio_endio() code into its only caller, blk_update_request(), allows reducing accesses to and tests of bio and request fields. Also, given that partial completions of zone append operations is not possible and that zone append operations cannot be merged, the update of the BIO sector using the request sector for these operations can be moved directly before the call to bio_endio().

On completion of a flush sequence, blk_flush_restore_request() restores the bio of a request to the original submitted BIO. However, the last use of the request in the flush sequence may have been for a POSTFLUSH which does not have a sector. So make sure to restore the request sector using the iter sector of the original BIO. This BIO has not changed yet since the completions of the flush sequence intermediate steps use requeueing of the request until all steps are completed. Restoring the request sector ensures that blk_mq_end_request() will see a valid sector as originally set when the flush BIO was submitted.

blkdev_dio_unaligned() is called from __blkdev_direct_IO(), __blkdev_direct_IO_simple(), and __blkdev_direct_IO_async(), and all these are only called from blkdev_direct_IO(). Move the blkdev_dio_unaligned() call to the common callsite, blkdev_direct_IO(). Pass those functions the bdev pointer from blkdev_direct_IO(), as it is non-trivial to look up.

Kernel parameter of `isolcpus=` or 'nohz_full=' are used to isolate CPUs for specific task, and it isn't expected to let block IO disturb these CPUs. blk-mq kworker shouldn't be scheduled on isolated CPUs. Also if isolated CPUs is run for blk-mq kworker, long block IO latency can be caused. Kernel workqueue only respects CPU isolation for WQ_UNBOUND, for bound WQ, the responsibility is on user because CPU is specified as WQ API parameter, such as mod_delayed_work_on(cpu), queue_delayed_work_on(cpu) and queue_work_on(cpu). So not run blk-mq kworker on isolated CPUs by removing isolated CPUs from hctx->cpumask. Meantime use queue map to check if all CPUs in this hw queue are offline instead of hctx->cpumask, this way can avoid any cost in fast IO code path, and is safe since hctx->cpumask are only used in the two cases.
