More details about ZBDs can be found at: + +https://zonedstorage.io/docs/introduction/zoned-storage + +1. Block layer APIs for zoned storage +------------------------------------- +QEMU block layer has three zoned storage model: +- BLK_Z_HM: This model only allows sequential writes access. It supports a set +of ZBD-specific I/O request that used by the host to manage device zones. +- BLK_Z_HA: It deals with both sequential writes and random writes access. +- BLK_Z_NONE: Regular block devices and drive-managed ZBDs are treated as +non-zoned devices. + +The block device information resides inside BlockDriverState. QEMU uses +BlockLimits struct(BlockDriverState::bl) that is continuously accessed by the +block layer while processing I/O requests. A BlockBackend has a root pointer to +a BlockDriverState graph(for example, raw format on top of file-posix). The +zoned storage information can be propagated from the leaf BlockDriverState all +the way up to the BlockBackend. If the zoned storage model in file-posix is +set to BLK_Z_HM, then block drivers will declare support for zoned host device. + +The block layer APIs support commands needed for zoned storage devices, +including report zones, four zone operations, and zone append. + +2. Emulating zoned storage controllers +-------------------------------------- +When the BlockBackend's BlockLimits model reports a zoned storage device, users +like the virtio-blk emulation or the qemu-io-cmds.c utility can use block layer +APIs for zoned storage emulation or testing. + +For example, to test zone_report on a null_blk device using qemu-io is: +$ path/to/qemu-io --image-opts -n driver=zoned_host_device,filename=/dev/nullb0 +-c "zrp offset nr_zones" diff --git a/docs/system/qemu-block-drivers.rst.inc b/docs/system/qemu-block-drivers.rst.inc index dfe5d2293d..0b97227fd9 100644 --- a/docs/system/qemu-block-drivers.rst.inc +++ b/docs/system/qemu-block-drivers.rst.inc @@ -430,6 +430,12 @@ Hard disks you may corrupt your host data (use the ``-snapshot`` command line option or modify the device permissions accordingly). +Zoned block devices + Zoned block devices can be passed through to the guest if the emulated storage + controller supports zoned storage.
