The function blk_revalidate_zone_cond() already caches the condition of
all zones of a zoned block device in the zones_cond array of a gendisk.
However, the zone conditions are updated only when the device is scanned
or revalidated.
Implement tracking of the runtime changes to zone conditions using
the new cond field in struct blk_zone_wplug. The size of this structure
remains 112 Bytes as the new field replaces the 4 Bytes padding at the
end of the structure.
Beause zones that do not have a zone write plug can be in the empty,
implicit open, explicit open or full condition, the zones_cond array of
a disk is used to track the conditions, of zones that do not have a zone
write plug. The condition of such zone is updated in the disk zones_cond
array when a zone reset, reset all or finish operation is executed, and
also when a zone write plug is removed from the disk hash table when the
zone becomes full.
Since a device may automatically close an implicitly open zone when
writing to an empty or closed zone, if the total number of open zones
has reached the device limit, the BLK_ZONE_COND_IMP_OPEN and
BLK_ZONE_COND_CLOSED zone conditions cannot be precisely tracked. To
overcome this, the zone condition BLK_ZONE_COND_ACTIVE is introduced to
represent a zone that has the condition BLK_ZONE_COND_IMP_OPEN,
BLK_ZONE_COND_EXP_OPEN or BLK_ZONE_COND_CLOSED. This follows the
definition of an active zone as defined in the NVMe Zoned Namespace
specifications. As such, for a zoned device that has a limit on the
maximum number of open zones, we will never have more zones in the
BLK_ZONE_COND_ACTIVE condition than the device limit. This is compatible
with the SCSI ZBC and ATA ZAC specifications for SMR HDDs as these
devices do not have a limit on the number of active zones.
The function disk_zone_wplug_set_wp_offset() is modified to use the new
helper disk_zone_wplug_update_cond() to update a zone write plug
condition whenever a zone write plug write offset is updated on
submission or merging of write BIOs to a zone.
The functions blk_zone_reset_bio_endio(), blk_zone_reset_all_bio_endio()
and blk_zone_finish_bio_endio() are modified to update the condition of
the zones targeted by reset, reset_all and finish operations, either
using though disk_zone_wplug_set_wp_offset() for zones that have a
zone write plug, or using the disk_zone_set_cond() helper to update the
zones_cond array of the disk for zones that do not have a zone write
plug.
When a zone write plug is removed from the disk hash table (when the
zone becomes empty or full), the condition of struct blk_zone_wplug is
used to update the disk zones_cond array. Conversely, when a zone write
plug is added to the disk hash table, the zones_cond array is used to
initialize the zone write plug condition.
