From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>

Define REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND to append-write sectors to a zone of a zoned
block device. This is a no-merge write operation.

A zone append write BIO must:
* Target a zoned block device
* Have a sector position indicating the start sector of the target zone
* The target zone must be a sequential write zone
* The BIO must not cross a zone boundary
* The BIO size must not be split to ensure that a single range of LBAs
  is written with a single command.

Implement these checks in generic_make_request_checks() using the
helper function blk_check_zone_append(). To avoid write append BIO
splitting, introduce the new max_zone_append_sectors queue limit
attribute and ensure that a BIO size is always lower than this limit.
Export this new limit through sysfs and check these limits in bio_full().

Also when a LLDD can't dispatch a request to a specific zone, it
will return BLK_STS_ZONE_RESOURCE indicating this request needs to
be delayed, e.g.  because the zone it will be dispatched to is still
write-locked. If this happens set the request aside in a local list
to continue trying dispatching requests such as READ requests or a
WRITE/ZONE_APPEND requests targetting other zones. This way we can
still keep a high queue depth without starving other requests even if
one request can't be served due to zone write-locking.

Finally, make sure that the bio sector position indicates the actual
write position as indicated by the device on completion.

Since the above function has not changed compared to v7, I will repeat
my question about this function. Since 'pos' refers to the start of a
zone, is the "blk_queue_zone_no(q, pos) != blk_queue_zone_no(q, pos +
nr_sectors)" check identical to nr_sectors < q->limits.chunk_sectors?
Since q->limits.max_zone_append_sectors is guaranteed to be less than or
equal to the size of a zone, does that mean that the check
"blk_queue_zone_no(q, pos) != blk_queue_zone_no(q, pos + nr_sectors)" is
superfluous?

Thanks,

Bart.

Bart, I think I already answered... But writing again an answer to your
question, I realized that you are correct. My previous answer was: no, the tests
are not equivalent. But thinking again about this, since the block layer BIUO
splitting code will decide on BIO split or not based on pos+nr_sectors exceeding
the zone size or not, yes, the first test is not necessary.

We can reduce this to only testing that nr_sectors does not exceed
q->limits.max_zone_append_sectors since we already tested pos alignment to the
zone start.

Yes, it is.
