As updates to the space cache v1 are in-place, the space cache cannot be located over sequential zones and there is no guarantees that the device will have enough conventional zones to store this cache. Resolve this problem by disabling completely the space cache v1. This does not introduce any problems with sequential block groups: all the free space is located after the allocation pointer and no free space before the pointer. There is no need to have such cache. Note: we can technically use free-space-tree (space cache v2) on ZONED mode. But, since ZONED mode now always allocates extents in a block group sequentially regardless of underlying device zone type, it's no use to enable and maintain the tree. For the same reason, NODATACOW is also disabled. In summary, ZONED will disable: | Disabled features | Reason | |-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------| | RAID/DUP | Cannot handle two zone append writes to different | | | zones | |-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------| | space_cache (v1) | In-place updating | | NODATACOW | In-place updating | |-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------| | fallocate | Reserved extent will be a write hole | |-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------| | MIXED_BG | Allocated metadata region will be write holes for | | | data writes | Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> Signed-off-by: Naohiro Aota <naohiro.aota@wdc.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
