[PATCH 0/3] zonefs: introduce -o explicit-open mount option

[Johannes Thumshirn]

Introduce a mount option for explicitly opening a device's zones when opening
the seq zone file for writing. This way we prevent resource exhaustion on
devices that export a maximum open zones limit.

[PATCH 1/3] zonefs: introduce helper for zone management

[Johannes Thumshirn]

Introduce a helper function for sending zone management commands to the
block device.

As zone management commands can change a zone write pointer position
reflected in the size of the zone file, this function expects the truncate
mutex to be held.

[PATCH 2/3] zonefs: open/close zone on file open/close

[Johannes Thumshirn]

NVMe Zoned Namespace introduced the concept of active zones, which are
zones in the implicit open, explicit open or closed condition. Drives may
have a limit on the number of zones that can be simultaneously active.
This potential limitation translate into a risk for applications to see
write IO errors due to this limit if the zone of a file being written to is
not already active when a write request is issued.

To avoid these potential errors, the zone of a file can explicitly be made
active using an open zone command when the file is open for the first
time. If the zone open command succeeds, the application is then
guaranteed that write requests can be processed. This indirect management
of active zones relies on the maximum number of open zones of a drive,
which is always lower or equal to the maximum number of active zones.

On the first open of a sequential zone file, send a REQ_OP_ZONE_OPEN
command to the block device. Conversely, on the last release of a zone
file and send a REQ_OP_ZONE_CLOSE to the device if the zone is not full or
empty.

As truncating a zone file to 0 or max can deactivate a zone as well, we
need to serialize against truncates and also be careful not to close a
zone that has active writers.

Printing blk_op_str() instead of the raw op value would make the message easier

That repeats the error message already printed by zonefs_zone_mgmt(). There is
no need for this one.

May be you meant something like "leave a zone not active after a truncate when
the zone file is open for writing" ?

Thinking more about this, the main reason a zone close would fail is if the zone
went into read-only or offline condition. For these, close will fail and should
thus not be attempted or the user will never be able to close the file, and to
unmount the file system for recovery.

So in case of failure here, zonefs_io_error() should be called to detect
read-only offline zones and the close error ignored so that the file is indeed
closed.

Conversely, in zonefs_io_error(), if an open zone (ZONEFS_ZONE_OPEN flag is set)
is detected as being read-only or offline, the ZONEFS_ZONE_OPEN flag should be
cleared so that the close zone command is not attempted when that zone file is
closed.

To avoid complicating this patch or making it too large, maybe add another patch
to handle error path ?

No I meant, we shouldn't decrement the 's_open_zones' count on truncate to 0
or full, when a zone is still opened for write. Because if we do, another thread
could open the last available open zone and the application won't be able to write
to a previously opened zone, if that makes sense.

I understood that, but the "active writers" is hard to
decode/understand. So may be just replace that with "as the file may
still be open for writing, e.g. the user called ftruncate(). If the
zone file is not open and a process does a truncate(), then no close
operation is needed."
