dm-zoned uses the zone flag DMZ_ACTIVE to indicate that a zone of the
backend device is being actively read or written and so cannot be
reclaimed. This flag is set as long as the zone atomic reference
counter is not 0. When this atomic is decremented and reaches 0 (e.g.
on BIO completion), the active flag is cleared and set again whenever
the zone is reused and BIO issued with the atomic counter incremented.
These 2 operations (atomic inc/dec and flag set/clear) are however not
always executed atomically under the target metadata mutex lock and
this causes the warning:
WARN_ON(!test_bit(DMZ_ACTIVE, &zone->flags));
in dmz_deactivate_zone() to be displayed. This problem is regularly
triggered with xfstests generic/209, generic/300, generic/451 and
xfs/077 with XFS being used as the file system on the dm-zoned target
device. Similarly, xfstests ext4/303, ext4/304, generic/209 and
generic/300 trigger the warning with ext4 use.
This problem can be easily fixed by simply removing the DMZ_ACTIVE flag
and managing the "ACTIVE" state by directly looking at the reference
counter value. To do so, the functions dmz_activate_zone() and
dmz_deactivate_zone() are changed to inline functions respectively
calling atomic_inc() and atomic_dec(), while the dmz_is_active() macro
is changed to an inline function calling atomic_read().

Only GFP_KERNEL and GFP_NOIO are used with blkdev_report_zones(). In
preparation of using vmalloc() for large report buffer and zone array
allocations used by this function, remove its "gfp_t gfp_mask" argument
and rely on the caller context to use memalloc_noio_save/restore() where
necessary (block layer zone revalidation and dm-zoned I/O error path).

The function blkdev_report_zones() returns success even if no zone
information is reported (empty report). Empty zone reports can only
happen if the report start sector passed exceeds the device capacity.
The conditions for this to happen are either a bug in the caller code,
or, a change in the device that forced the low level driver to change
the device capacity to a value that is lower than the report start
sector. This situation includes a failed disk revalidation resulting in
the disk capacity being changed to 0.
If this change happens while dm-zoned is in its initialization phase
executing dmz_init_zones(), this function may enter an infinite loop
and hang the system. To avoid this, add a check to disallow empty zone
reports and bail out early. Also fix the function dmz_update_zone() to
make sure that the report for the requested zone was correctly obtained.

dmz_fetch_mblock() called from dmz_get_mblock() has a race since the
allocation of the new metadata block descriptor and its insertion in
the cache rbtree with the READING state is not atomic. Two different
contexts requesting the same block may end up each adding two different
descriptors of the same block to the cache.
Another problem for this function is that the BIO for processing the
block read is allocated after the metadata block descriptor is inserted
in the cache rbtree. If the BIO allocation fails, the metadata block
descriptor is freed without first being removed from the rbtree.
Fix the first problem by checking again if the requested block is not in
the cache right before inserting the newly allocated descriptor,
atomically under the mblk_lock spinlock. The second problem is fixed by
simply allocating the BIO before inserting the new block in the cache.
Finally, since dmz_fetch_mblock() also increments a block reference
counter, rename the function to dmz_get_mblock_slow(). To be symmetric
and clear, also rename dmz_lookup_mblock() to dmz_get_mblock_fast() and
increment the block reference counter directly in that function rather
than in dmz_get_mblock().

Since the ref field of struct dmz_mblock is always used with the
spinlock of struct dmz_metadata locked, there is no need to use an
atomic_t type. Change the type of the ref field to an unsigne

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

A zone ID is a 32 bits unsigned int which can overflow when doing the
bit shifts in dmz_start_sect(). With a 256 MB zone size drive, the
overflow happens for a zone ID >= 8192.
Fix this by casting the zone ID to a sector_t before doing the bit
shift. While at it, similarly fix dmz_start_block().

The dm-zoned device mapper target provides transparent write access
to zoned block devices (ZBC and ZAC compliant block devices).
dm-zoned hides to the device user (a file system or an application
doing raw block device accesses) any constraint imposed on write
requests by the device, equivalent to a drive-managed zoned block
device model.
Write requests are processed using a combination of on-disk buffering
using the device conventional zones and direct in-place processing for
requests aligned to a zone sequential write pointer position.
A background reclaim process implemented using dm_kcopyd_copy ensures
that conventional zones are always available for executing unaligned
write requests. The reclaim process overhead is minimized by managing
buffer zones in a least-recently-written order and first targeting the
oldest buffer zones. Doing so, blocks under regular write access (such
as metadata blocks of a file system) remain stored in conventional
zones, resulting in no apparent overhead.
dm-zoned implementation focus on simplicity and on minimizing overhead
(CPU, memory and storage overhead). For a 14TB host-managed disk with
256 MB zones, dm-zoned memory usage per disk instance is at most about
3 MB and as little as 5 zones will be used internally for storing metadata
and performing buffer zone reclaim operations. This is achieved using
zone level indirection rather than a full block indirection system for
managing block movement between zones.
dm-zoned primary target is host-managed zoned block devices but it can
also be used with host-aware device models to mitigate potential
device-side performance degradation due to excessive random writing.
Zoned block devices can be formatted and checked for use with the dm-zoned
target using the dmzadm utility available at:
