[PATCH 0/5] nvme support for zoned namespace command set

[PATCH 0/5] nvme support for zoned namespace command set

[Keith Busch]

From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>

The NVM Express workgroup has ratified technical proposals enabling new
command sets. The specifications may be viewed from the following link:

  https://nvmexpress.org/wp-content/uploads/NVM-Express-1.4-Ratified-TPs.zip

This series implements support for the Zoned Namespace (ZNS) Command Set
defined in TP4053, and the Namespace Types base support it depends on
from TP4056. 

The block layer is updated to include the new zone writeable capacity
feature from ZNS, and existing zone block device drivers are updated to
incorporate this feature.

[PATCH 1/5] block: add capacity field to zone descriptors

[Keith Busch]

From: Matias Bjørling <matias.bjorling@wdc.com>

In the zoned storage model, the sectors within a zone are typically all
writeable. With the introduction of the Zoned Namespace (ZNS) Command
Set in the NVM Express organization, the model was extended to have a
specific writeable capacity.

Extend the zone descriptor data structure with a zone capacity field to
indicate to the user how many sectors in a zone are writeable.

Introduce backward compatibility in the zone report ioctl by extending
the zone report header data structure with a flags field to indicate if
the capacity field is available.

[PATCH 2/5] null_blk: introduce zone capacity for zoned device

[Keith Busch]

From: Aravind Ramesh <aravind.ramesh@wdc.com>

Allow emulation of a zoned device with a per zone capacity smaller than
the zone size as as defined in the Zoned Namespace (ZNS) Command Set
specification. The zone capacity defaults to the zone size if not
specified and must be smaller than the zone size otherwise.

This line is becoming ridiculously long even for new 100 char limit. 
Maybe we should do a cleanup patch for feature to string conversion.

Do we really need zone_capacity_sects ? As far as I can see its is not 
used into fast path, correct me if I'm wrong.

This line is becoming ridiculously long even for new 100 char limit.

Maybe also use zone capacity in the comment instead of the abbreviation?

Minor nit. I found the the error message hard to grok. Maybe something
like:

"null_blk: zone capacity (%lu MB) larger than zone size (%lu MB)\n"

Otherwise this looks fine.

[PATCH 3/5] nvme: implement I/O Command Sets Command Set support

[Keith Busch]

From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@wdc.com>

Implements support for the I/O Command Sets command set. The command set
introduces a method to enumerate multiple command sets per namespace. If
the command set is exposed, this method for enumeration will be used
instead of the traditional method that uses the CC.CSS register command
set register for command set identification.

For namespaces where the Command Set Identifier is not supported or
recognized, the specific namespace will not be created.

[PATCH 3/5] nvme: implement I/O Command Sets Command Set support

[Keith Busch]

From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@wdc.com>

Implements support for the I/O Command Sets command set. The command set
introduces a method to enumerate multiple command sets per namespace. If
the command set is exposed, this method for enumeration will be used
instead of the traditional method that uses the CC.CSS register command
set register for command set identification.

For namespaces where the Command Set Identifier is not supported or
recognized, the specific namespace will not be created.

No objection to defensive programming. But wouldn't this be a broken
device?

Otherwise LGTM.

Actually I think we can just get rid of this check before the warning.
We only call this function if the version is >= 1.3 or if multi-css was
selected. Both of those require this identification be supported.

It could be a broken device, but I think it's checking against mistaken
identify, like if we're racing with namespace management commands
deleting and recreating namespaces that the driver is still bound to.

I agree, since implementing/supporting multiple command sets also requires
you to implement the Namespace Identification Descriptor list command,
this command shouldn't fail even if a base spec < 1.3.0 was used,
so the best thing is probably just to drop this change.

This function, nvme_identify_ns_descs(), was previously only
called if (ctrl->vs >= NVME_VS(1, 3, 0)).

Now it's called if (ctrl->vs >= NVME_VS(1, 3, 0) || nvme_multi_css(ctrl))

Because, if someone implements/enables multiple command sets feature
on an older base spec of NVMe, we still want to support/allow that.

(Although they would also need to implement the Namespace Identification
Descriptor list command.)

So I think that this change belongs in the this patch,
consider that this check wasn't needed before this patch.

When you format a namespace, you specify a NSID, and a Command Set
Identifier (CSI), to say which is the main Command Set for this
namespace.

Someone could send NVMe format commands directly to the drive, using
e.g. nvme-cli to format a specific NSID, using a different CSI than
that NSID previously used.

In that case, the same NSID will now have another main CSI
associated, so it probably makes sense for revalidate disk to
detect that it is no longer the same disk.

Niklas

[PATCH 4/5] nvme: support for multi-command set effects

[Keith Busch]

The Commands Supported and Effects log page was extended with a CSI
field that enables the host to query the log page for each command set
supported. Retrieve this log page for each command set that an attached
namespace supports, and save a pointer to that log in the namespace head.

[PATCH 4/5] nvme: support for multi-command set effects

[Keith Busch]

The Commands Supported and Effects log page was extended with a CSI
field that enables the host to query the log page for each command set
supported. Retrieve this log page for each command set that an attached
namespace supports, and save a pointer to that log in the namespace head.

[PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Keith Busch]

Add support for NVM Express Zoned Namespaces (ZNS) Command Set defined
in NVM Express TP4053. Zoned namespaces are discovered based on their
Command Set Identifier reported in the namespaces Namespace
Identification Descriptor list. A successfully discovered Zoned
Namespace will be registered with the block layer as a host managed
zoned block device with Zone Append command support. A namespace that
does not support append is not supported by the driver.

[PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Keith Busch]

Add support for NVM Express Zoned Namespaces (ZNS) Command Set defined
in NVM Express TP4053. Zoned namespaces are discovered based on their
Command Set Identifier reported in the namespaces Namespace
Identification Descriptor list. A successfully discovered Zoned
Namespace will be registered with the block layer as a host managed
zoned block device with Zone Append command support. A namespace that
does not support append is not supported by the driver.

Following up on the initial comment, this check should go.

This should only be applied if append is supported.

I understand that "Variable Zone Capacity" is not supported as it
requires major changes at this moment, but we should support controllers
that enable "Zone Active Excursions", even when the AER event is not
implemented in this patchset.

Why are we enforcing the append command? Append is optional on the
current ZNS specification, so we should not make this mandatory in the
implementation. See specifics below.

This should only be applied if append is supported.

I understand that "Variable Zone Capacity" is not supported as it
requires major changes at this moment, but we should support controllers
that enable "Zone Active Excursions", even when the AER event is not
implemented in this patchset.

NAK. Similarly to VZC, this allows an unsuspecting user to have major 
data loss when a zone is suddenly moved to Full.

There currently no users of pr, and bit 1-7 are reserved in the spec. 
Users of the pr variable should shift and mask as necessary.

NAK. Similarly to VZC, this allows an unsuspecting user to have major 
data loss when a zone is suddenly moved to Full.

There currently no users of pr, and bit 1-7 are reserved in the spec. 
Users of the pr variable should shift and mask as necessary.

zrasf looks good to me. It is defined as a byte in the spec.

It is fine that the kernel supports append, but the ZNS specification
does not impose the implementation for append, so the driver should not
do that either.

ZNS SSDs that choose to leave append as a non-implemented optional
command should not rely on emulated SW support, specially when
traditional writes work very fine for a large part of current ZNS use
cases.

Please, remove this virtual constraint.

I meant for the pr variable name. Agree with the rest.

It is fine that the kernel supports append, but the ZNS specification
does not impose the implementation for append, so the driver should not
do that either.

ZNS SSDs that choose to leave append as a non-implemented optional
command should not rely on emulated SW support, specially when
traditional writes work very fine for a large part of current ZNS use
cases.

Please, remove this virtual constraint.

The Zone Append command is mandatory for zoned block devices. Please see 
https://lwn.net/Articles/818709/ for the background. Please submit 
patches if you want to have support for ZNS devices that does not 
implement the Zone Append command. It is outside the scope of this patchset.

The Zone Append command is mandatory for zoned block devices. Please see 
https://lwn.net/Articles/818709/ for the background. Please submit 
patches if you want to have support for ZNS devices that does not 
implement the Zone Append command. It is outside the scope of this patchset.

I do not see anywhere in the block layer that append is mandatory for
zoned devices. Append is emulated on ZBC, but beyond that there is no
mandatory bits. Please explain.

This is to allow a single write IO path for all types of zoned block device for
higher layers, e.g file systems. The on-going re-work of btrfs zone support for
instance now relies 100% on zone append being supported. That significantly
simplifies the file system support and more importantly remove the need for
locking around block allocation and BIO issuing, allowing to preserve a fully
asynchronous write path that can include workqueues for efficient CPU usage of
things like encryption and compression. Without zone append, file system would
either (1) have to reject these drives that do not support zone append, or (2)
implement 2 different write IO path (slower regular write and zone append). None
of these options are ideal, to say the least.

So the approach is: mandate zone append support for ZNS devices. To allow other
ZNS drives, an emulation similar to SCSI can be implemented, with that emulation
ideally combined to work for both types of drives if possible. And note that
this emulation would require the drive to be operated with mq-deadline to enable
zone write locking for preserving write command order. While on a HDD the
performance penalty is minimal, it will likely be significant on a SSD.

RE: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Judy Brock]

    "The on-going re-work of btrfs zone support for instance now relies 100% on zone append being supported.... So the approach is: mandate zone append support for ZNS devices....

Wow. Well as I said, I don't know much about Linux but it sounds like the ongoing re-work of btrfs zone support mandating zone append should be revisited.

The reality is there will be flavors of ZNS drives in the market that do not support Append.  As many of you know, the ZRWA technical proposal is well under-way in NVMe ZNS WG.

Ensuring that the entire Linux zone support ecosystem deliberately locks these devices out / or at best consigns them to a severely performance-penalized path, especially given the MULTIPLE statements that have been made in the NVMe ZNS WG by multiple companies regarding the use cases for which Zone Append is an absolute disaster (not my words), seems pretty darn inappropriate.

This is to allow a single write IO path for all types of zoned block device for
higher layers, e.g file systems. The on-going re-work of btrfs zone support for
instance now relies 100% on zone append being supported. That significantly
simplifies the file system support and more importantly remove the need for
locking around block allocation and BIO issuing, allowing to preserve a fully
asynchronous write path that can include workqueues for efficient CPU usage of
things like encryption and compression. Without zone append, file system would
either (1) have to reject these drives that do not support zone append, or (2)
implement 2 different write IO path (slower regular write and zone append). None
of these options are ideal, to say the least.

So the approach is: mandate zone append support for ZNS devices. To allow other
ZNS drives, an emulation similar to SCSI can be implemented, with that emulation
ideally combined to work for both types of drives if possible. And note that
this emulation would require the drive to be operated with mq-deadline to enable
zone write locking for preserving write command order. While on a HDD the
performance penalty is minimal, it will likely be significant on a SSD.

Feel free to go ahead and suggest an alternative solution that shows the 
same performance benefits.It is open-source, and if you can show and 
_implement_ a better solution. We will review it as any other

First a note: I appreciate you bringing up discussions that was made 
within the NVMe ZNS TG, but please note that those discussions happened 
in that forum that is under NDA. This is an open-source mailing list, 
and the content will be available online for many many years. Please 
refrain from discussing things that are not deemed public by the the 
NVMe board of directors.

On your statement, there is no deliberate locking out of devices , no 
more than a specific feature has not been implemented or that a device 
driver that is properitary to a company. Everyone is free to contribute 
to open-source. As Javier has previously pointed out, he intends to 
submit a patchset to add the necessary support for the zone append 
command API.

The software design decision is not about locking out one class of devices, it
is about how to deliver high performance implementations of file systems for
drives that can actually provide that performance, e.g. SSDs. As I said,
mandating that zone append is always supported by the storage devices, either
natively or through emulation, allows such efficient, and simple, implementation
of zone support at higher levels in device mapper and file system layers.

Without this, the file system has to do the serialization of write commands
*and* protect itself against write command reordering by the block IO stack as
that layer of the kernel is totally asynchronous and does not give any guarantee
of a particular command execution order. This complicates the file system
implementation significantly and so is not acceptable.

For zoned devices, the block layer can provide *write* command execution order
guarantees, similarly to what the file system would need to do. That is the
mq-deadline and zone write locking I was referring to. That is acceptable for
SMR HDDs, but likely will have impact on SSD write performance (that needs to be
checked).

Summary: what needs to be done for correctly processing sequential write
commands in Linux is the same no matter which layer implements it: writes must
be throttled to at most one write per zone. This can be done by a file system or
the block layer. Native zone append support by a drive removes all this,
simplifies the code and enables high performance. Zone append emulation in the
driver gives the same code simplification overall, but *may* suffer from the
zone write locking penalty.

Overall, we get code simplification at the file system layer, with only a single
area where performance may not be optimal. Any other design choice would result
in much worse situations:
1) complex code everywhere as the file systems would have to support both
regular write and zone append write path to support all class of devices.
2) file system implementing only zone append write path end up rejecting drives
that do not have zone append native support
3) The file system layer supports only regular writes, resulting in complex code
and potentially degraded write performance for *all* devices

Enforcing QD=1 becomes a problem on devices with large zones. In
a ZNS device that has smaller zones this should not be a problem.

Would you agree that it is possible to have a write path that relies on
QD=1, where the FS / application has the responsibility for enforcing
this? Down the road this QD can be increased if the device is able to
buffer the writes.

I would be OK with some FS implementations to rely on append and impose
the constraint that append has to be supported (and it would be our job
to change that), but I would like to avoid the driver rejecting
initializing the device because current FS implementations have
implemented this logic.

We can agree that a number of initial customers will use these devices
raw, using the in-kernel I/O path, but without a FS on top.

Thoughts?

Exactly my concern. I do not want ZNS SSDs to be impacted by this type
of design decision at the driver level.

Let's be precise: this is not running the drive at QD=1, it is "at most one
write *request* per zone". If the FS is simultaneously using multiple block
groups mapped to different zones, you will get a total write QD > 1, and as many
reads as you want.

Doing QD=1 per zone for writes at the FS layer, that is, at the BIO layer does
not work. This is because BIOs can be as large as the FS wants them to be. Such
large BIO will be split into multiple requests in the block layer, resulting in
more than one write per zone. That is why the zone write locking is at the
scheduler level, between BIO split and request dispatch. That avoids the
multiple requests fragments of a large BIO to be reordered and fail. That is
mandatory as the block layer itself can occasionally reorder requests and lower
levels such as AHCI HW is also notoriously good at reversing sequential
requests. For NVMe with multi-queue, the IO issuing process getting rescheduled
on a different CPU can result in sequential IOs being in different queues, with
the likely result of an out-of-order execution. All cases are avoided with zone
write locking and at most one write request dispatch per zone as recommended by
the ZNS specifications (ZBC and ZAC standards for SMR HDDs are silent on this).

What is the difference between the driver rejecting drives and the FS rejecting
the same drives ? That has the same end result to me: an entire class of devices
cannot be used as desired by the user. Implementing zone append emulation avoids
the rejection entirely while still allowing the FS to have a single write IO
path, thus simplifying the code.

But your proposed FS level approach would end up doing the exact same thing with
the same limitation and so the same potential performance impact. The block
layer generic approach has the advantage that we do not bother the higher levels
with the implementation of in-order request dispatch guarantees. File systems
are complex enough. The less complexity is required for zone support, the better.

I understand. I agree that the current FSs supporting ZNS follow this
approach and it makes sense that there is a common interface that
simplifies the FS implementation. See the comment below on the part I
believe we see things differently.

The difference is that users that use a raw ZNS device submitting I/O
through the kernel would still be able to use these devices. The result
would be that the ZNS SSD is recognized and initialized, but the FS
format fails.

This depends very much on how the FS / application is managing
stripping. At the moment our main use case is enabling user-space
applications submitting I/Os to raw ZNS devices through the kernel.

Can we enable this use case to start with?

It is free for everyone to load kernel modules into the kernel. Those 
modules may not have the appropriate checks or may rely on the zone 
append functionality. Having per use-case limit is a no-go and at best a 
game of whack-a-mole.

You already agreed to create a set of patches to add the appropriate 
support for emulating zone append. As these would fix your specific 
issue, please go ahead and submit those.

There is another way, that you may want to consider. That is to use 
SPDK, which bypasses the stack and allows you to issue I/Os as you prefer.

Let's focus on mainline support. We are leaving append as not enabled
based on customer requests for some ZNS products and would like this
devices to be supported. This is not at all a corner use-case but a very
general one.

I agreed to solve the use case that some of our customers are enabling
and this is what I am doing.

Again, to start with I would like to have a path where ZNS namespaces are
identified independently of append support. Then specific users can
require append if they please to do so. We will of course take care of
sending patches for this.

Thanks,
Javier

Let's focus on mainline support. We are leaving append as not enabled
based on customer requests for some ZNS products and would like this
devices to be supported. This is not at all a corner use-case but a very
general one.

I agreed to solve the use case that some of our customers are enabling
and this is what I am doing.

Again, to start with I would like to have a path where ZNS namespaces are
identified independently of append support. Then specific users can
require append if they please to do so. We will of course take care of
sending patches for this.

Thanks,
Javier

As was previously said, there are users in the kernel that depends on zone append. As a result, it is not an option not to have this. Please go ahead and send the patches and you'll have the behavior you are seeking.

I am not asking. I am confirming that this is orthogonal to _this_

I think this already provides that. You can set the nsid value to
whatever you want in the passthrough interface, so a namespace block
device is not required to issue I/O to a ZNS namespace from user space.

Mmmmm. Problem now is that the check on the nvme driver prevents the ZNS
namespace from being initialized. Am I missing something?

You can issue the io to the char device (e.g., /dev/nvme0), and specify the namespace. That will be initialized. If you like, you can use Keith's libnvme, that exposes all of the functionality to issue passthru I/Os.

Hm, okay, it may not work for you. We need the driver to create at least
one namespace so that we have tags and request_queue. If you have that,
you can issue IO to any other attached namespace through the passthrough
interface, but we can't assume there is an available namespace.

That makes sense for now.

The next step for us is to enable a passthrough on uring, making sure
that I/Os do not split.

Does this make sense to you?

Passthrough as in "application issues directly NVMe commands" like for SG_IO
with SCSI ? Or do you mean raw block device file accesses by the application,
meaning that the IO goes through the block IO stack as opposed to directly going
to the driver ?

For the latter case, I do not think it is possible to guarantee that an IO will
not get split unless we are talking about single page IOs (e.g. 4K on X86). See
a somewhat similar request here and comments about it.

At the moment we are doing the former, but it looks like a hack to me to
go directly to the NVMe driver.

I was thinking that we could enable the second path by making use of
chunk_sectors and limit the I/O size just as the append_max_io_size
does. Is this the complete wrong way of looking at it?

That is what the nvme driver ioctl() is for no ? An application can send an NVMe
command directly to the driver with it. That is not a hack, but the regular way
of doing passthrough for NVMe, isn't it ?

The block layer cannot limit the size of a passthrough command since the command
is protocol specific and the block layer is a protocol independent interface.
SCSI SG does not split passthrough requests, it cannot. For passthrough
commands, the command buffer can be dma-mapped or it cannot. If mapping
succeeds, the command is issued. If it cannot, the command is failed. At least,
that is my understanding of how the stack is working.

We have enabled it through uring to get async() passthru submission.
Looks like a hack at the moment, but we might just send a RFC to have
something concrete to based the discussion on.

Agree. This work depend in the application being aware of a max I/O size
at the moment. Down the road, we will remove (or at least limit a lot)
this constraint for ZNS devices that can eventually cache out-of-order
I/Os.

Yes, that would clarify things.

I/Os with a data buffer all need mapping for DMA, no matter the device
functionalities or the command being executed. With passthrough, I do not think
it is possible to have the block layer limit anything. It will likely always be
pass-or-fail. With passthrough, the application needs to understand what it is
doing.

That is done with bsg for SCSI I believe. You may want to have a look around
there. The SG driver used to have the write() system call mapped to "issuing a
command" and read() for "getting a command result". That was removed however.
But I think bsg has a replacement for that defunct async passthrough interface.
Not sure. I have not looked at that for a while.

Yes, that would clarify things.

I/Os with a data buffer all need mapping for DMA, no matter the device
functionalities or the command being executed. With passthrough, I do not think
it is possible to have the block layer limit anything. It will likely always be
pass-or-fail. With passthrough, the application needs to understand what it is
doing.

That is done with bsg for SCSI I believe. You may want to have a look around
there. The SG driver used to have the write() system call mapped to "issuing a
command" and read() for "getting a command result". That was removed however.
But I think bsg has a replacement for that defunct async passthrough interface.
Not sure. I have not looked at that for a while.

I understand your point of view. Raw ZNS block device access by an application
is of course a fine use case. SMR also has plenty of these.

My point is that enabling this regular write/raw device use case should not
prevent using btrfs or other kernel components that require zone append.
Implementing zone append emulation in the NVMe/ZNS driver for devices without
native support for the command enables *all* use cases without impacting the use
case you are interested in.

This approach is, in my opinion, far better. No one is left out and the user
gains a flexible system with different setup capabilities. The user wins here.

Yes, see above. Again, we should not have to choose one *or* the other. The user
should be able to use both raw accesses *and* file systems that require zone
append. The initial patch set enables the latter. For the former, additional
patches are needed. And the work done in SCSI already simplifies that task. The
block layer is already wired to handle zone append emulation.

Yes, see above. Again, we should not have to choose one *or* the other. The user
should be able to use both raw accesses *and* file systems that require zone
append. The initial patch set enables the latter. For the former, additional
patches are needed. And the work done in SCSI already simplifies that task. The
block layer is already wired to handle zone append emulation.

So, do you see a path where we enable the following:

    1. We add the emulation layer to the NVMe driver for enabling FSs
       that currently support zoned devices
    2. We add a path from user-space (e.g., uring) to enable passthru
       commands to the NVMe driver to enable a raw ZNS path from the
       application. This path does not require the device to support
       append. An initial limitation is that I/Os must be of < 127 bio
       segments (same as append) to avod bio splits
    3. As per above, the NVMe driver allows ZNS drives without append
       support to be initialized and the check moves to the FS
       formatting.

2 and 3. is something we have on our end. We need to rebase on top of
the patches you guys submitted. 1. is something we can help with after
that.

Does the above make sense to you?

Doing (1) first will give you a regular nvme namespace block device that you can
use to send passthrough commands with ioctl(). So (1) gives you (2).

However, I do not understand what io-uring has to do with passthrough. io-uring
being a block layer functionality, I do not think you can use it to send
passthrough commands to the driver. I amy be wrong though, but my understanding
is that for NVMe, passthrough is either ioctl() to device file or the entire
driver in user space with SPDK.

As for (3), I do not understand your point. If you have (1), then an FS
requiring zone append will work.

Doing (1) first will give you a regular nvme namespace block device that you can
use to send passthrough commands with ioctl(). So (1) gives you (2).

However, I do not understand what io-uring has to do with passthrough. io-uring
being a block layer functionality, I do not think you can use it to send
passthrough commands to the driver. I amy be wrong though, but my understanding
is that for NVMe, passthrough is either ioctl() to device file or the entire
driver in user space with SPDK.

We would like to have an async() passthru I/O path and it seems possible
to do through uring. As mentioned on the other email, the goal is to
have the I/O go through the block layer for better integration, but this
work is still ongoing. See other thread.

In order to enable (2), we need the device to come up first. At the
moment the NVMe driver rejects ZNS devices without append support, so
either ioctl() or the uring path will not work.

Indeed. I do not think that is special to ZNS at all.

I repeat again here: if you implement zone append emulation, there is no reason
to reject devices that do not have zone append native support. Zone append
emulation gives you the block device, you can do ioctl(), implement the new
async passthrough and file systems requiring zone append work too. All problems
solved.

RE: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Judy Brock]

	>>> A namespace that does not support append is not supported by the driver.

I am not that knowledgeable about Linux kernel drivers so maybe this is a dumb question but won't the driver in question be the default kernel driver for ZNS devices? If so, why would that driver deliberately reject a device which is 100% compliant with the ZNS spec?
That would seem to favor specific implementations which seems like an inappropriate thing for a community driver to do unless there is an actual technical reason the driver is unable to function w/o append. Is there any such reason and if so what is it? Thanks and sorry if I've misunderstood.

It is fine that the kernel supports append, but the ZNS specification
does not impose the implementation for append, so the driver should not
do that either.

ZNS SSDs that choose to leave append as a non-implemented optional
command should not rely on emulated SW support, specially when
traditional writes work very fine for a large part of current ZNS use
cases.

Please, remove this virtual constraint.

RE: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Judy Brock]

	>>> A namespace that does not support append is not supported by the driver.

I am not that knowledgeable about Linux kernel drivers so maybe this is a dumb question but won't the driver in question be the default kernel driver for ZNS devices? If so, why would that driver deliberately reject a device which is 100% compliant with the ZNS spec?
That would seem to favor specific implementations which seems like an inappropriate thing for a community driver to do unless there is an actual technical reason the driver is unable to function w/o append. Is there any such reason and if so what is it? Thanks and sorry if I've misunderstood.

It is fine that the kernel supports append, but the ZNS specification
does not impose the implementation for append, so the driver should not
do that either.

ZNS SSDs that choose to leave append as a non-implemented optional
command should not rely on emulated SW support, specially when
traditional writes work very fine for a large part of current ZNS use
cases.

Please, remove this virtual constraint.

Re: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

Hi Judy,

This has been solved. Javier has said he will send patches that supports 
the above use-case. It is outside the scope of this patchset.

Best, Matias

RE: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Judy Brock]

Sorry again then if I overreacted. But it seemed that Damien essentially said that at best non- Zone Append ZNS SSDs will be at a large performance disadvantage. I assume that is even with the patches Javier creates. Due to the fact that the whole stack is mandating Append from top down and anything that doesn't natively support that can't really be integrated seamlessly no matter what.

If that's true, then how will patches solve it?

Hi Judy,

This has been solved. Javier has said he will send patches that supports 
the above use-case. It is outside the scope of this patchset.

Best, Matias

RE: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Judy Brock]

Sorry again then if I overreacted. But it seemed that Damien essentially said that at best non- Zone Append ZNS SSDs will be at a large performance disadvantage. I assume that is even with the patches Javier creates. Due to the fact that the whole stack is mandating Append from top down and anything that doesn't natively support that can't really be integrated seamlessly no matter what.

If that's true, then how will patches solve it?

Hi Judy,

This has been solved. Javier has said he will send patches that supports 
the above use-case. It is outside the scope of this patchset.

Best, Matias

RE: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Judy Brock]

Wait a minute. I think I misunderstood what Damien was referring to w/respect to the performance penalty. I took it to mean a penalty incurred by having to do translation (like a SCSI translation layer, etc.) but if he was referring to the fact that Append gives queue depth > 1 and he was assuming non-Zone Append SSDs would only support QD = 1, then we are all good since ZRWA is an alternate approach to achieving QD >1.

If that's what you meant Damien, my bad.

Thanks,
Judy

Sorry again then if I overreacted. But it seemed that Damien essentially said that at best non- Zone Append ZNS SSDs will be at a large performance disadvantage. I assume that is even with the patches Javier creates. Due to the fact that the whole stack is mandating Append from top down and anything that doesn't natively support that can't really be integrated seamlessly no matter what.

If that's true, then how will patches solve it?

Hi Judy,

This has been solved. Javier has said he will send patches that supports 
the above use-case. It is outside the scope of this patchset.

Best, Matias

RE: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Judy Brock]

Wait a minute. I think I misunderstood what Damien was referring to w/respect to the performance penalty. I took it to mean a penalty incurred by having to do translation (like a SCSI translation layer, etc.) but if he was referring to the fact that Append gives queue depth > 1 and he was assuming non-Zone Append SSDs would only support QD = 1, then we are all good since ZRWA is an alternate approach to achieving QD >1.

If that's what you meant Damien, my bad.

Thanks,
Judy

Sorry again then if I overreacted. But it seemed that Damien essentially said that at best non- Zone Append ZNS SSDs will be at a large performance disadvantage. I assume that is even with the patches Javier creates. Due to the fact that the whole stack is mandating Append from top down and anything that doesn't natively support that can't really be integrated seamlessly no matter what.

If that's true, then how will patches solve it?

Hi Judy,

This has been solved. Javier has said he will send patches that supports 
the above use-case. It is outside the scope of this patchset.

Best, Matias

RE: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Judy Brock]

Ok last comment. I should have read Damien's explanation more carefully. I'm backing off... I see it's having to do with needing to preserve write order/ zone write locking - a lot of knowledge I don't have about the Linux storage stack (but I see that is the performance penalty he's referring to now which makes sense if one really did have to lose the overlapped write capability with non-Append-capable ZNS drives).

"To allow other ZNS drives, an emulation similar to SCSI can be implemented, with that emulation ideally combined to work for both types of drives if possible. And note that this emulation would require the drive to be operated with mq-deadline to enable zone write locking for preserving write command order"

But of course that is not what we want to do with ZRWA-capable ZNS drives.  So again, I'm outta here.

Wait a minute. I think I misunderstood what Damien was referring to w/respect to the performance penalty. I took it to mean a penalty incurred by having to do translation (like a SCSI translation layer, etc.) but if he was referring to the fact that Append gives queue depth > 1 and he was assuming non-Zone Append SSDs would only support QD = 1, then we are all good since ZRWA is an alternate approach to achieving QD >1.

If that's what you meant Damien, my bad.

Thanks,
Judy

Sorry again then if I overreacted. But it seemed that Damien essentially said that at best non- Zone Append ZNS SSDs will be at a large performance disadvantage. I assume that is even with the patches Javier creates. Due to the fact that the whole stack is mandating Append from top down and anything that doesn't natively support that can't really be integrated seamlessly no matter what.

If that's true, then how will patches solve it?

Hi Judy,

This has been solved. Javier has said he will send patches that supports 
the above use-case. It is outside the scope of this patchset.

Best, Matias

RE: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Judy Brock]

Ok last comment. I should have read Damien's explanation more carefully. I'm backing off... I see it's having to do with needing to preserve write order/ zone write locking - a lot of knowledge I don't have about the Linux storage stack (but I see that is the performance penalty he's referring to now which makes sense if one really did have to lose the overlapped write capability with non-Append-capable ZNS drives).

"To allow other ZNS drives, an emulation similar to SCSI can be implemented, with that emulation ideally combined to work for both types of drives if possible. And note that this emulation would require the drive to be operated with mq-deadline to enable zone write locking for preserving write command order"

But of course that is not what we want to do with ZRWA-capable ZNS drives.  So again, I'm outta here.

Wait a minute. I think I misunderstood what Damien was referring to w/respect to the performance penalty. I took it to mean a penalty incurred by having to do translation (like a SCSI translation layer, etc.) but if he was referring to the fact that Append gives queue depth > 1 and he was assuming non-Zone Append SSDs would only support QD = 1, then we are all good since ZRWA is an alternate approach to achieving QD >1.

If that's what you meant Damien, my bad.

Thanks,
Judy

Sorry again then if I overreacted. But it seemed that Damien essentially said that at best non- Zone Append ZNS SSDs will be at a large performance disadvantage. I assume that is even with the patches Javier creates. Due to the fact that the whole stack is mandating Append from top down and anything that doesn't natively support that can't really be integrated seamlessly no matter what.

If that's true, then how will patches solve it?

Hi Judy,

This has been solved. Javier has said he will send patches that supports 
the above use-case. It is outside the scope of this patchset.

Best, Matias

Yes, that is what I meant. Regular writes need special treatment to preserve
ordering and that has potentially  performance implications.

This is an on-going NVMe technical proposal under NDA, so I will refrain from

Because Append is the way to go and we've moved the Linux zoned block
I/O stack to required it, as should have been obvious to anyone
following linux-block in the last few months.  I also have to say I'm
really tired of the stupid politics tha your company started in the
NVMe working group, and will say that these do not matter for Linux
development at all.  If you think it is worthwhile to support devices
without Zone Append you can contribute support for them on top of this
series by porting the SCSI Zone Append Emulation code to NVMe.

Just to add some historical context: The first discussions about how to
support block devices with a non-random write model in Linux happened
maybe a decade ago.

Drive vendors came to LSF/MM to solicit feedback on how Linux could
support impending SMR devices. We spent a long time going over various
approaches, including some that are similar to what is now being
entertained as alternative to Append. The conclusion back then was that
an Append-like model (tell-us-where-you-put-it) was the only reasonable
way to accommodate these devices in Linux given how our filesystems and
I/O stack worked.

Consequently, I don't think it is at all unreasonable for us to focus on
devices that implement that mode of operation in the kernel. This is
exactly the that we as a community asked the storage industry to
provide!

Martin,

Thanks for sharing the historical context. I agree that append solves a
number of problems in Linux - we have had internal implementations of
append for a long time (and are sending patches extending support for it
later today).

This said, there are users that do not see append as a good fit for
their needs and we would like to support them too.

We will go back to our code and re-iterate based on the feedback we have
gotten out of this thread.

Thanks,
Javier

My intention is to support some Samsung ZNS devices that will not enable
append. I do not think this is an unreasonable thing to do. How / why
append ended up being an optional feature in the ZNS TP is orthogonal to
this conversation. Bullshit or not, it ends up on devices that we would
like to support one way or another.

After the discussion with Damien and Keith I have a clear idea how we
can do this and we will go ahead with the work.

I apologize that this conversation got mixed with leftovers from NVMe
TWG internals. This is a public mailing list, so I guess anyone can
comment on it.

Thanks,
Javier

My intention is to support some Samsung ZNS devices that will not enable
append. I do not think this is an unreasonable thing to do. How / why
append ended up being an optional feature in the ZNS TP is orthogonal to
this conversation. Bullshit or not, it ends up on devices that we would
like to support one way or another.

After the discussion with Damien and Keith I have a clear idea how we
can do this and we will go ahead with the work.

I apologize that this conversation got mixed with leftovers from NVMe
TWG internals. This is a public mailing list, so I guess anyone can
comment on it.

Thanks,
Javier

I do not believe any of us have said that it is unreasonable to support. 
We've only asked that you make the patches for it.

All of us have communicated why Zone Append is a great addition to the 
Linux kernel. Also, as Christoph points out, this has not been a secret 
for the past couple of months, and as Martin pointed out, have been a 
wanted feature for the past decade in the Linux community.

I do want to politely point out, that you've got a very clear signal 
from the key storage maintainers. Each of them is part of the planet's 
best of the best and most well-respected software developers, that 
literally have built the storage stack that most of the world depends 
on. The storage stack that recently sent manned rockets into space. They 
each unanimously said that the Zone Append command is the right approach 
for the Linux kernel to reduce the overhead of I/O tracking for zoned 
block devices. It may be worth bringing this information to your 
engineering organization, and also potentially consider Zone Append 
support for devices that you intend to used with the Linux kernel 
storage stack.

Another approach, is to use SPDK, and bypass the Linux kernel. This 
might even be an advantage, your customers does not have to wait on the 
Linux distribution being released with a long term release, before they 
can even get started and deploy in volume. I.e., they will actually get 
faster to market, and your company will be able to sell more drives.

I understand and I have never said the opposite. Append is a great
addition that we also have been working on for several months (see
patches additions from today). We just have a couple of use cases where
append is not required and I would like to make sure that they are
supported.

At the end of the day, the only thing I have disagreed on is that the
NVMe driver rejects ZNS SSDs that do not support append, as opposed to
doing this instead when an in-kernel user wants to utilize the drive
(e.g., formatting a FS with zoned support) This would allow _today_
ioctl() passthru to work for normal writes.

I still believe the above would be a more inclusive solution with the
current ZNS specification, but I can see that the general consensus is
different.

So we will go back, apply the feedback that we got and return with an
approach that better fits the ecosystem.

I think I will refrain from discussing our business strategy on an open

One may have interpreted your SDC EMEA talk the opposite. It was not very neutral towards Zone Append, but that is of cause one of its least problems. But I am happy to hear that you've changed your opinion.

The comment from the community, including me, is that there is a general requirement for Zone Append command when utilizing Zoned storage devices. This is similar to implement an API that one wants to support. It is not a general consensus or opinion. It is hard facts and how the Linux kernel source code is implemented at this point. One must implement support for ZNS SSDs that do not expose the Zone Append command natively. Period.

I am not asking for you to discuss your business strategy on the mailing list. My comment was to give you genuinely advise that may save a lot of work, and might even get better results.

One must implement support for ZNS SSDs that do not expose the Zone Append command natively. Period.

I am not asking for you to discuss your business strategy on the mailing list. My comment was to give you genuinely advise that may save a lot of work, and might even get better results.

As you are well aware, there are some cases where append introduces
challenges. This is well-documented on the bibliography around nameless
writes. Part of the talk was on presenting an alternative for these
particular use cases.

This said, I am not afraid of changing my point of view when I am proven
wrong.

The nameless writes idea is vastly different from Zone append, and have 
little of the drawbacks of nameless writes, which makes the

My point with the above paragraph was to clarify that we are not trying 
to be difficult or opinionated, but point out that the reason we give 
you the specific feedback, is that it is the way it is in the kernel as

My point with the above paragraph was to clarify that we are not trying 
to be difficult or opinionated, but point out that the reason we give 
you the specific feedback, is that it is the way it is in the kernel as 
today.

Again, yes, we will apply the feedback and come back with an approach
that fits so that we can enable the raw ZNS block access that we want to

Re: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Heiner Litz]

Thanks for the interesting discussion but it made me wonder about the
usefulness of 4K writes in the first place. Append seems to be a
workaround for a problem (single writer/QD) that shouldn't exist in
the first place. If writes need to be sequential, what is the purpose
of allowing 4K writes at all (it provides no placement flexibility).
Mandating zone-sized writes would address all problems with ease and
reduce request rate and overheads in the kernel. I don't see why we
would disassemble a zone-sized block into smaller writes just to
re-assemble them again on the device. A promise of ZNS is to move the
translation overhead from the device into the FS layer so why
re-introduce complexity in the bio layer? Managing zone-sized blocks
on the application/FS layer is also much more convenient than
receiving random 4K addresses from append commands.
Finally, note that splitting zone-sized bios in the kernel does not
achieve any purpose as interleaving/scheduling within a zone isn't
possible. If we want to interleave accesses to multiple open zones,
this should be done on the device layer by exposing queue(s) per zone.
For applications writing large, consecutive blocks (RocksDB), the best
implementation seems to be providing a kernel path that guarantees
non-splittable zone-sized writes.

Re: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

[Heiner Litz]

Thanks for the interesting discussion but it made me wonder about the
usefulness of 4K writes in the first place. Append seems to be a
workaround for a problem (single writer/QD) that shouldn't exist in
the first place. If writes need to be sequential, what is the purpose
of allowing 4K writes at all (it provides no placement flexibility).
Mandating zone-sized writes would address all problems with ease and
reduce request rate and overheads in the kernel. I don't see why we
would disassemble a zone-sized block into smaller writes just to
re-assemble them again on the device. A promise of ZNS is to move the
translation overhead from the device into the FS layer so why
re-introduce complexity in the bio layer? Managing zone-sized blocks
on the application/FS layer is also much more convenient than
receiving random 4K addresses from append commands.
Finally, note that splitting zone-sized bios in the kernel does not
achieve any purpose as interleaving/scheduling within a zone isn't
possible. If we want to interleave accesses to multiple open zones,
this should be done on the device layer by exposing queue(s) per zone.
For applications writing large, consecutive blocks (RocksDB), the best
implementation seems to be providing a kernel path that guarantees
non-splittable zone-sized writes.

Yikes, no. Typical zone sizes are much to large for that to be

Re: [PATCH 5/5] nvme: support for zoned namespaces

What is the purpose of making zones larger than the erase block size
of flash? And why are large writes fundamentally unreasonable?

I don't see why it should be a fundamental problem for e.g. RocksDB to
issue single zone-sized writes (whatever the zone size is because
RocksDB needs to cope with it). The write buffer exists as a level in
DRAM anyways and increasing write latency will not matter either.

It is up to the drive vendor to decide how zones are mapped onto flash media.
Different mapping give different properties for different use cases. Zones, in
many cases, will be much larger than an erase block due to stripping across many
dies for example. And erase block size also has a tendency to grow over time
with new media generations.
The block layer management of zoned block devices also applies to SMR HDDs,
which can have any zone size they want. This is not all about flash.

As for large writes, they may not be possible due to memory fragmentation and/or
limited SGL size of the drive interface. E.g. AHCI max out at 168 segments, most
HBAs are at best 256, etc.

Rocksdb is an application, so of course it is free to issue a single write()
call with a buffer size equal to the zone size. But due to the buffer mapping
limitations stated above, there is a very high probability that this single
zone-sized large write operation will end-up being split into multiple write
commands in the kernel.

Thanks Damien,
the striping explanation makes sense. In this case will rephase to: It
is sufficient to support large enough un-splittable writes to achieve
full per-zone bandwidth with a single writer/single QD.

My main point is: There is no fundamental reason for splitting up
requests intermittently just to re-assemble them in the same form
later.

Hi Heiner,

For ZNS in general, there is no performance information for a zone, other than what is communicated per namespace. I.e., In a well-developed ZNS drive, the host should not have to stripe zones to get the full performance of a ZNS drive. This is important and was one of the learnings from OCSSD. We saw that the main bottlenecks in OCSSD host software implementations were striping, host buffering, and vendor-specific hacks. For ZNS - I wanted to make sure that we did not make the same mistake, and as such, the complexity should solely be managed within an ZNS SSD.

If one does want to expose this kind of architecture, for whatever reason. One can make use of Endurance Groups in NVMe, and as such expose groups, that are physically separated in the drive, and as such, the host can then stripe zones is separate endurance groups to get the necessary performance.

That being said, some vendors implemented ZNS SSDs as it were OCSSDs, and as such, one has to stripe zones together to get the expected performance. For Linux, that is not something that'll be supported (other than if a device does it the appropriate way by using the standardized endurance groups). That being said, adoptors that run custom storage stacks can make use of it at the cost of having to manage the same challenges that OCSSD had., i.e., manually manage striping, host buffering, and even vendor-specific hacks.

Hi Heiner,

For ZNS in general, there is no performance information for a zone, other than what is communicated per namespace. I.e., In a well-developed ZNS drive, the host should not have to stripe zones to get the full performance of a ZNS drive. This is important and was one of the learnings from OCSSD. We saw that the main bottlenecks in OCSSD host software implementations were striping, host buffering, and vendor-specific hacks. For ZNS - I wanted to make sure that we did not make the same mistake, and as such, the complexity should solely be managed within an ZNS SSD.

If one does want to expose this kind of architecture, for whatever reason. One can make use of Endurance Groups in NVMe, and as such expose groups, that are physically separated in the drive, and as such, the host can then stripe zones is separate endurance groups to get the necessary performance.

That being said, some vendors implemented ZNS SSDs as it were OCSSDs, and as such, one has to stripe zones together to get the expected performance. For Linux, that is not something that'll be supported (other than if a device does it the appropriate way by using the standardized endurance groups). That being said, adoptors that run custom storage stacks can make use of it at the cost of having to manage the same challenges that OCSSD had., i.e., manually manage striping, host buffering, and even vendor-specific hacks.

This is subject to the capabilities of the device and software's memory
constraints. The maximum DMA size for a single request an nvme device can
handle often range anywhere from 64k to 4MB. The pci nvme driver maxes out at
4MB anyway because that's the most we can guarantee forward progress right now,
otherwise the scatter lists become to big to ensure we'll be able to allocate
one to dispatch a write command.

We do report the size and the alignment constraints so that it won't get split,
but we still have to work with applications that don't abide by those
constraints.

Matias, Keith,
thanks, this all sounds good and it makes total sense to hide striping
from the user.

In the end, the real problem really seems to be that ZNS effectively
requires in-order IO delivery which the kernel cannot guarantee. I
think fixing this problem in the ZNS specification instead of in the
communication substrate (kernel) is problematic, especially as
out-of-order delivery absolutely has no benefit in the case of ZNS.
But I guess this has been discussed before..

From the device interface perspective, that is from the ZNS specifications point
of view, only regular writes require in order dispatching by the host. Zone
append write commands can be issued in any order and will succeed as long as
there are enough unwritten blocks in the target zone to fit the append request.
And the zone append command processing can happen in any order the drive sees
fit. SO there is indeed no guarantee back to the host that zone append command
execution will be done in the same order as issued by the host.

That is from the interface perspective, for the protocol. Now the question that
I think you are after seems to be "does this work for the user" ? The answer is
a simple "it depends what the use case is". The device user is free to choose
between issuing regular writes or zone append write. This choice heavily depends
on the answer to the question: "Can I tolerate out of order writes ?". For a
file system, the answer is yes, since metadata is used to indicate the mapping
of file offsets to on-disk locations. It does not matter, functionally speaking,
if the file data blocks for increasing file offsets are out of order. That can
happen with any file system on any regular disk due to block
allocation/fragmentation today.

For an application using raw block device accesses without a file system, the
usability of zone append will heavily depend on the structure/format of the data
being written. A simple logging application where every write to a device stores
a single independent "record" will likely be fine with zone append. If the
application is writing something like a B-tree with dependency between data
blocks pointing to each other, zone append may not be the best choice as the
final location on disk of a write is only approximately known (i.e., one can
only guarantee that it will land "somewhere" in a zone). That however depend on
how the application issues IO requests.

Zone append is not a magic command solving all problems. But it certainly does
simplify a lot of things in the kernel IO stack (no need for strong ordering)
and also can simplify file system implementation (no need to control write
issuing order).

I'm a bit dense, by the above, is your conclusion that ZNS has a deficit/feature, which OCSSD didn't already have? They both had the same requirement that a chunk/zone must be written sequentially. It's the name of the game when deploying NAND-based media, I am not sure how ZNS should be able to help with this. The goal of ZNS is to align with the media (and OCSSD), which makes writes required to be sequential, and one thereby gets a bunch of benefits.

If there was an understanding that ZNS would allow one to write randomly, I must probably disappoint. For random writes, typical implementations either use a write-back scheme, that stores data in random write media first, and then later write it out sequentially, or write a host-side FTL (with its usual overheads).

Hi Matias,
no, I am rather saying that the Linux kernel has a deficit or at least
is not a good fit for ZNS because it cannot enforce in-order delivery.
The requirement of sequential writes basically imposes this
requirement. Append essentially a Linux specific fix on the ZNS level
and that enforcing ordering would be a cleaner way to enable QD>1.

For random writes, typical implementations either use a write-back scheme, that stores data in random write media first, and then later write it out sequentially, or write a host-side FTL (with its usual overheads).

How does it work in SPDK then? I had understood that SPDK supported
QD>1 for ZNS devices.
I am not saying that Linux is the only problem. The fact remains that
out of order delivery is not a good fit for an interface that requires
sequential writes.

The nvme protocol is absoltely clear that multiple commands outstanding
simultaneosly can be executed in any order. This is further made
difficult if you're dispatching these commands across multiple queues.
If SPDK is dispatching multiple commands and expecting them to execute
in order, then they're doing it wrong.

Further, you're not even guranteed the first write in a sequence will be
successful. If you've already dispatched a subsequent write, and the
first one fails, the second one may also fail when it's not at the wrong
write pointer.

It doesn't. Out of order delivery is not guaranteed in NVMe.

That why zone append was introduced in ZNS. It removes this constraint, 
and makes it such that any process (or host) can write to a specific 
zone. It's neat! That is why the command was introduced.

It is not only Linux specific - it applies to everyone that wants to use 
it. It is solving a fundamental distributed system problem, as it 
removes the need for fine-grained coordinating between process or host. 
It allows the SSD to coordinate data placement, which historically has 
been done by the host. It is awesome!

That makes sense. We are generally paying a high price for
implementing in-order interfaces over out-of-order communication
channels (e.g. TCP buffers) and append() seems to be a much more
lightweight solution.

Ah, I am not sure I agree with that statement. As Keith points out, 
there is not even in-order delivery in NVMe. Any system where high 
performance is required, has out of order mechanisms that improves 
parallelism and performance. If one wants to issue I/Os in order, it is 
as easy as supplying a write-back cache. Linux and any other systems are 
able to do that.

I don't remember saying that I don't understand the basics of NVMe, so
I am not sure where you got this from.

That being said, the point I am trying to discuss is not about NVMe in
particular. It is the general question of: What is the benefit of
splitting and reordering (on whatever layer) for a hardware device
that requires sequential writes? I claim that there is no benefit.

I have worked with SSDs in the past that exposed raw flash blocks over
NVMe and that achieved maximum write bandwidth without append by
enforcing splitting/ordering guarantees, so I know it is possible.

I will accept that there is no interest in discussing the question
above, so I'll stop here.

You didn't say that.  But from you incoherent comments on the list it

Sorry for joining late to the party!

Just curious if we have any public information on analysis on the
differences between zone append and nameless writes?

If we don't then this sould seem to be new territory? I'd expect many
drawbacks might not be known yet. In new filesystem APIs we know all these
things will always creep up. Not that there couldn't be unexpected issues for
nameless writes once and if someone did try to add support for it in a real
OS. But if nameless writes is pretty much append, it gives me a good idea
where to expect some issues ahead of time.

Thanks!
