Hello,
  The previous revision ended up leading to a new direction to add npo2
  device support as a dm target instead of adding support to filesystems
  directly[0]. I would like to hear some inputs from the community,
  especially from Christoph and Mike Snitzer about this approach.

- Background and Motivation:

The zone storage implementation in Linux, introduced since v4.10, first
targetted SMR drives which have a power of 2 (po2) zone size alignment
requirement. The po2 zone size was further imposed implicitly by the
block layer's blk_queue_chunk_sectors(), used to prevent IO merging
across chunks beyond the specified size, since v3.16 through commit
762380ad9322 ("block: add notion of a chunk size for request merging").
But this same general block layer po2 requirement for blk_queue_chunk_sectors()
was removed on v5.10 through commit 07d098e6bbad ("block: allow 'chunk_sectors'
to be non-power-of-2").

NAND, which is the media used in newer zoned storage devices, does not
naturally align to po2. In these devices, zone cap is not the same as the
po2 zone size. When the zone cap != zone size, then unmapped LBAs are
introduced to cover the space between the zone cap and zone size. po2
requirement does not make sense for these type of zone storage devices.
This patch series aims to remove these unmapped LBAs for zoned devices when
zone cap is npo2. This is done by relaxing the po2 zone size constraint
in the kernel and allowing zoned device with npo2 zone sizes if zone cap
== zone size.

Removing the po2 requirement from zone storage should be possible
now provided that no userspace regression and no performance regressions are
introduced. Stop-gap patches have been already merged into f2fs-tools to
proactively not allow npo2 zone sizes until proper support is added [1].

There were two efforts previously to add support to npo2 devices: 1) via
device level emulation [2] but that was rejected with a final conclusion
to add support for non po2 zoned device in the complete stack[3] 2)
adding support to the complete stack by removing the constraint in the
block layer and NVMe layer with support to btrfs, zonefs, etc which was
rejected with a conclusion to add a dm target for FS support [0]
to reduce the regression impact.

- Patchset description:

The support is planned to be added in two phases:
- Add npo2 support to block, nvme layer and necessary stop gap patches
  in the filesystems
- Add dm target for npo2 devices so that they are presented as a po2
  device to filesystems

This patchset addresses the first phase for adding support to npo2
devices.

Patches 1-2 deals with removing the po2 constraint from the
block layer.

Patches 3-4 deals with removing the constraint from nvme zns.

Patch 5-6 removes the po2 contraint in null blk

Patches 7 adds conditions to not allow non power of 2 devices in
DM.

The patch series is based on linux-next tag: next-20220520

- Future work
Add DM target for npo2 devices to be presented as a po2 device.

Changes since v1:
- Put the function declaration and its usage in the same commit (Bart)
- Remove bdev_zone_aligned function (Bart)
- Change the name from blk_queue_zone_aligned to blk_queue_is_zone_start
  (Damien)
- q is never null in from bdev_get_queue (Damien)
- Add condition during bringup and check for zsze == zcap for npo2
  drives (Damien)
- Rounddown operation should be made generic to work in 32 bits arch
  (bart)
- Add comments where generic calculation is directly used instead having
  special handling for po2 zone sizes (Hannes)
- Make the minimum zone size alignment requirement for btrfs to be 1M
  instead of BTRFS_STRIPE_LEN(David)

Changes since v2:
- Minor formatting changes

Changes since v3:
- Make superblock mirror align with the existing superblock log offsets
  (David)
- DM change return value and remove extra newline
- Optimize null blk zone index lookup with shift for po2 zone size

Changes since v4:
- Remove direct filesystems support for npo2 devices (Johannes, Hannes,
  Damien)

Changes since v5:
- Use DIV_ROUND_UP* helper instead of round_up as it breaks 32bit arch
  build in null blk(kernel-test-robot, Nathan)
- Use DIV_ROUND_UP_SECTOR_T also in blkdev_nr_zones function instead of
  open coding it with div64_u64
- Added extra condition in dm-zoned and in dm to reject non power of 2
  zone sizes.

Adapt blkdev_nr_zones and blk_queue_zone_no function so that it can
also work for non-power-of-2 zone sizes.

As the existing deployments of zoned devices had power-of-2
assumption, power-of-2 optimized calculation is kept for those devices.

There are no direct hot paths modified and the changes just
introduce one new branch per call.

Checking if a given sector is aligned to a zone is a common
operation that is performed for zoned devices. Add
blk_queue_is_zone_start helper to check for this instead of opencoding it
everywhere.

Convert the calculations on zone size to be generic instead of relying on
power_of_2 based logic in the block layer using the helpers wherever
possible.

The only hot path affected by this change for power_of_2 zoned devices
is in blk_check_zone_append() but blk_queue_is_zone_start() helper is
used to optimize the calculation for po2 zone sizes. Note that the append
path cannot be accessed by direct raw access to the block device but only
through a filesystem abstraction.

Finally, allow non power of 2 zoned devices provided that their zone
capacity and zone size are equal. The main motivation to allow non
power_of_2 zoned device is to remove the unmapped LBA between zcap and
zsze for devices that cannot have a power_of_2 zcap.

Remove the condition which disallows non-power_of_2 zone size ZNS drive
to be updated and use generic method to calculate number of zones
instead of relying on log and shift based calculation on zone size.

The power_of_2 calculation has been replaced directly with generic
calculation without special handling. Both modified functions are not
used in hot paths, they are only used during initialization &
revalidation of the ZNS device.

As rounddown macro from math.h does not work for 32 bit architectures,
round down operation is open coded.

A generic bdev_zone_no helper is added to calculate zone number for a given
sector in a block device. This helper internally uses blk_queue_zone_no to
find the zone number.

Use the helper bdev_zone_no() to calculate nr of zones. This let's us
make modifications to the math if needed in one place and adds now
support for npo2 zone devices.

Convert the power of 2 based calculation with zone size to be generic in
null_zone_no with optimization for power of 2 based zone sizes.

The nr_zones calculation in null_init_zoned_dev has been replaced with a
division without special handling for power of 2 based zone sizes as
this function is called only during the initialization and will not
invoked in the hot path.

Performance Measurement:

Device:
zone size = 128M, blocksize=4k

FIO cmd:

fio --name=zbc --filename=/dev/nullb0 --direct=1 --zonemode=zbd  --size=23G
--io_size=<iosize> --ioengine=io_uring --iodepth=<iod> --rw=<mode> --bs=4k
--loops=4

The following results are an average of 4 runs on AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with
32GB of RAM:

Instead of doing is_power_of_2 and ilog2 operation for every IO, cache
the zone_size_sects_shift variable and use it for power of 2 zoned
devices.

This variable will be set to zero for non power of 2 zoned devices.

From: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>

Today dm-zoned relies on the assumption that you have a zone size
with a power of 2. Even though the block layer today enforces this
requirement, these devices do exist and so provide a stop-gap measure
to ensure these devices cannot be used by mistake

Ensure that only power of 2 zoned devices are enabled for dm targets that
supports zoned devices. This constraint can be relaxed once non power of
2 zone size support is added to the DM layer.

I thought the agreed upon idea is be to add a dm-linear like target to
emulate power of 2 zone size so that we can keep btrfs and f2fs running on
this new class of device. So why this patch ?

The entire series as is will fragment zoned block device support, which is
not a good thing at all. Without the new dm target, none of the current
kernel supported zone stuff will work.

The zonefs patch is also gone from the series. Why ? As is, zonefs will
break if it is passed a non power of 2 zone size drive.

I have mentioned this in my cover letter:
The support is planned to be added in two phases:
- Add npo2 support to block, nvme layer and necessary stop gap patches
  in the filesystems
- Add dm target for npo2 devices so that they are presented as a po2
  device to filesystems

This series is targeting the first phase where we have stop gap patches
and add support to the block and nvme layer and in the next phase we
will add a dm linear like target for npo2 zone sizes which can be used
by all the filesystems. This patch makes sure that we can't use npo2
zoned devices without the proper support that will be added in the next
phase in the DM.

Even though we decided we would like to take the direction of DM, I am
still awaiting reply from Christoph who raised concerns about npo2 zoned
device support and Mike Snitzer about this approach. That is one of the
reason I split this effort into two phases.

I think this was my mistake. If you agree with the above approach, then
I can add a stop gap patch also to zonefs npo2 zoned devices. This way
all the zone filesystem support goes via DM for npo2 zoned devices. I am
proposing this so that initially we always have only one way of
accessing a npo2 zoned device (via DM) from **filesystems** until we add
native support.

Personally, I do not want to see a kernel version where zone support is broken
for some devices. So I definitely prefer everything in one go or nothing.

Ok. I will make sure the DM target is a part of the next series along
with the zonefs patch.

Meanwhile, could you review the patches for the block, nvme and null blk
that is already a part of this series? I have made the changes in those
patches as you requested in previous revisions.

Thanks,
Pankaj
