Hi Jens,
This patch series improves support for zoned block devices in the mq-deadline
scheduler by preserving the order of requeued writes (REQ_OP_WRITE*).
Please consider this patch series for the next merge window.
Thank you,
Bart.
Changes compared to v3:
- Addressed Christoph's review feedback.
- Dropped patch "block: Micro-optimize blk_req_needs_zone_write_lock()".
- Added three new patches:
* block: Fix the type of the second bdev_op_is_zoned_write() argument
* block: Introduce op_is_zoned_write()
* block: mq-deadline: Reduce lock contention
Changes compared to v2:
- In the patch that micro-optimizes blk_req_needs_zone_write_lock(), inline
bdev_op_is_zoned_write() instead of modifying it.
- In patch "block: Introduce blk_rq_is_seq_zoned_write()", converted "case
REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND" into a source code comment.
- Reworked deadline_skip_seq_writes() as suggested by Christoph.
- Dropped the patch that disabled head insertion for zoned writes.
- Dropped patch "mq-deadline: Fix a race condition related to zoned writes".
- Reworked handling of requeued requests: the 'next_rq' pointer has been
removed and instead the position of the most recently dispatched request is
tracked.
- Dropped the patches for tracking zone capacity and for restricting the number
of active zones.
Changes compared to v1:
- Left out the patches related to request insertion and requeuing since
Christoph is busy with reworking these patches.
- Added a patch for enforcing the active zone limit.
