So what about creating a device-mapper target, that's taking npo2 drives and
makes them po2 drives for the FS layers? It will be very similar code to
dm-linear.
After all zoned support for FSes started with a device-mapper (dm-zoned) and
as the need for a more integrated solution arose, it changed into natiive
support.
And all that is there is simple arithmetic and a bio_clone(), if this is the
slowest part of the stack involving a FS like f2fs or btrfs I'm throwing a
round of anyone's favorite beverage at next year's LSFMM.
Byte,
Johannes
