Only triggering reclaim based on the percentage of unmapped cache
zones can fail to detect cases where reclaim is needed, e.g. if the
target has only 2 or 3 cache zones and only one unmapped cache zone,
the percentage of free cache zones is higher than
DMZ_RECLAIM_LOW_UNMAP_ZONES (30%) and reclaim does not trigger.
This problem, combined with the fact that dmz_schedule_reclaim() is
called from dmz_handle_bio() without the map lock held, leads to a
race between zone allocation and dmz_should_reclaim() result.
Depending on the workload applied, this race can lead to the write
path waiting forever for a free zone without reclaim being triggered.
Fix this by moving dmz_schedule_reclaim() inside dmz_alloc_zone()
under the map lock. This results in checking the need for zone reclaim
whenever a new data or buffer zone needs to be allocated.
Also fix dmz_reclaim_percentage() to always return 0 if the number of
unmapped cache (or random) zones is less than or equal to 1.

Instead of lumping emulated zones together with random zones we
should be handling them as separate 'cache' zones. This improves
code readability and allows an easier implementation of different
cache policies.
Also add additional allocation flags, to separate the type (cache,
random, or sequential) from the purpose (eg reclaim).
Also switch the allocation policy to not use random zones as buffer
zones if cache zones are present. This avoids a performance drop when
all cache zones are used.

Commit 75d66ffb48 added backing device health checks and as a part
of these checks, check_events() block ops template call is invoked in
dm-zoned mapping path as well as in reclaim and flush path. Calling
check_events() with ATA or SCSI backing devices introduces a blocking
scsi_test_unit_ready() call being made in sd_check_events(). Even though
the overhead of calling scsi_test_unit_ready() is small for ATA zoned
devices, it is much larger for SCSI and it affects performance in a very
negative way.
Fix this performance regression by executing check_events() only in case
of any I/O errors. The function dmz_bdev_is_dying() is modified to call
only blk_queue_dying(), while calls to check_events() are made in a new
helper function, dmz_check_bdev().

dm-zoned is observed to lock up or livelock in case of hardware
failure or some misconfiguration of the backing zoned device.
This patch adds a new dm-zoned target function that checks the status of
the backing device. If the request queue of the backing device is found
to be in dying state or the SCSI backing device enters offline state,
the health check code sets a dm-zoned target flag prompting all further
incoming I/O to be rejected. In order to detect backing device failures
timely, this new function is called in the request mapping path, at the
beginning of every reclaim run and before performing any metadata I/O.
The proper way out of this situation is to do
dmsetup remove <dm-zoned target>
and recreate the target when the problem with the backing device
is resolved.

There are several places in reclaim code where errors are not
propagated to the main function, dmz_reclaim(). This function
is responsible for unlocking zones that might be still locked
at the end of any failed reclaim iterations. As the result,
some device zones may be left permanently locked for reclaim,
degrading target's capability to reclaim zones.
This patch fixes these issues as follows -
Make sure that dmz_reclaim_buf(), dmz_reclaim_seq_data() and
dmz_reclaim_rnd_data() return error codes to the caller.
dmz_reclaim() function is renamed to dmz_do_reclaim() to avoid
clashing with "struct dmz_reclaim" and is modified to return the
error to the caller.
dmz_get_zone_for_reclaim() now returns an error instead of NULL
pointer and reclaim code checks for that error.
Error logging/debug messages are added where necessary.

The dm-zoned device mapper target provides transparent write access
to zoned block devices (ZBC and ZAC compliant block devices).
dm-zoned hides to the device user (a file system or an application
doing raw block device accesses) any constraint imposed on write
requests by the device, equivalent to a drive-managed zoned block
device model.
Write requests are processed using a combination of on-disk buffering
using the device conventional zones and direct in-place processing for
requests aligned to a zone sequential write pointer position.
A background reclaim process implemented using dm_kcopyd_copy ensures
that conventional zones are always available for executing unaligned
write requests. The reclaim process overhead is minimized by managing
buffer zones in a least-recently-written order and first targeting the
oldest buffer zones. Doing so, blocks under regular write access (such
as metadata blocks of a file system) remain stored in conventional
zones, resulting in no apparent overhead.
dm-zoned implementation focus on simplicity and on minimizing overhead
(CPU, memory and storage overhead). For a 14TB host-managed disk with
256 MB zones, dm-zoned memory usage per disk instance is at most about
3 MB and as little as 5 zones will be used internally for storing metadata
and performing buffer zone reclaim operations. This is achieved using
zone level indirection rather than a full block indirection system for
managing block movement between zones.
dm-zoned primary target is host-managed zoned block devices but it can
also be used with host-aware device models to mitigate potential
device-side performance degradation due to excessive random writing.
Zoned block devices can be formatted and checked for use with the dm-zoned
target using the dmzadm utility available at:
