always use REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES for zeroing offload

always use REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES for zeroing offload

[Christoph Hellwig]

This series makes REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES the only zeroing offload
supported by the block layer, and switches existing implementations
of REQ_OP_DISCARD that correctly set discard_zeroes_data to it,
removes incorrect discard_zeroes_data, and also switches WRITE SAME
based zeroing in SCSI to this new method.

The series is against the block for-next tree.

A git tree is also avaiable at:

[PATCH 01/25] ѕd: split sd_setup_discard_cmnd

[Christoph Hellwig]

Split sd_setup_discard_cmnd into one function per provisioning type.  While
this creates some very slight duplication of boilerplate code it keeps the
code modular for additions of new provisioning types, and for reusing the
write same functions for the upcoming scsi implementation of the Write Zeroes
operation.

[Christoph Hellwig]

Fix up do_region to not allocate a bio_vec for discards.  We've
got rid of the discard payload allocated by the caller years ago.

Obviously this wasn't actually harmful given how long it's been
there, but it's still good to avoid the pointless allocation.

[PATCH 08/25] dm kcopyd: switch to use REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES

[Christoph Hellwig]

It seems like the code currently passes whatever it was using for writes
to WRITE SAME.  Just switch it to WRITE ZEROES, although that doesn't
need any payload.

Untested, and confused by the code, maybe someone who understands it
better than me can help..

[PATCH 11/25] block: add a REQ_UNMAP flag for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES

[Christoph Hellwig]

If this flag is set logical provisioning capable device should
release space for the zeroed blocks if possible, if it is not set
devices should keep the blocks anchored.

Also remove an out of sync kerneldoc comment for a static function
that would have become even more out of data with this change.

[PATCH 12/25] block: add a new BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK flag

[Christoph Hellwig]

This avoids fallbacks to explicit zeroing in (__)blkdev_issue_zeroout if
the caller doesn't want them.

Also clean up the convoluted check for the return condition that this
new flag is added to.

[PATCH 13/25] block_dev: use blkdev_issue_zerout for hole punches

[Christoph Hellwig]

This gets us support for non-discard efficient write of zeroes (e.g. NVMe)
and prepare for removing the discard_zeroes_data flag.

Also remove a pointless discard support check, which is done in
blkdev_issue_discard already.

[PATCH 19/25] rbd: remove the discard_zeroes_data flag

[Christoph Hellwig]

rbd only supports discarding on large alignments, so the zeroing code
would always fall back to explicit writings of zeroes.

[PATCH 22/25] block: stop using discards for zeroing

[Christoph Hellwig]

Now that we have REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES implemented for all devices that
support efficient zeroing of devices we can remove the call to
blkdev_issue_discard.  This means we only have two ways of zeroing left
and can simply the code.

[PATCH 23/25] drbd: make intelligent use of blkdev_issue_zeroout

[Christoph Hellwig]

drbd always wants its discard wire operations to zero the blocks, so
use blkdev_issue_zeroout with the BLKDEV_ZERO_UNMAP flag instead of
reinventing it poorly.

[PATCH 25/25] block: remove the discard_zeroes_data flag

[Christoph Hellwig]

Now that we use the proper REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation everywhere we can
kill this hack.

 Contact:	Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
 Description:
-		Devices that support discard functionality may return
-		stale or random data when a previously discarded block
-		is read back. This can cause problems if the filesystem
-		expects discarded blocks to be explicitly cleared. If a
-		device reports that it deterministically returns zeroes
-		when a discarded area is read the discard_zeroes_data
-		parameter will be set to one. Otherwise it will be 0 and
-		the result of reading a discarded area is undefined.
+		Will always return 0.  Don't rely on any specific behavior
+		for discards, and don't read this file.

Very, very nice. I think this is the correct approach.

I'm going to send two follow-up patches that allow us to use UNMAP for
discards and WRITE SAME w/ UNMAP for zeroout. That appears to be the
preferred configuration for most storage devices.

zeroing offload support but the device fails to process the command (for
