deadline-iosched: Introduce zone locking support

damien-lemoal · axboe · commit 8dc8146f9c92 · 2018-01-05T09:22:17.000-07:00
Introduce zone write locking to avoid write request reordering with
zoned block devices. This is achieved using a finer selection of the
next request to dispatch:
1) Any non-write request is always allowed to proceed.
2) Any write to a conventional zone is always allowed to proceed.
3) For a write to a sequential zone, the zone lock is first checked.
   a) If the zone is not locked, the write is allowed to proceed after
      its target zone is locked.
   b) If the zone is locked, the write request is skipped and the next
      request in the dispatch queue tested (back to step 1).

For a write request that has locked its target zone, the zone is
unlocked either when the request completes and the method
deadline_request_completed() is called, or when the request is requeued
using the method deadline_add_request().

Requests targeting a locked zone are always left in the scheduler queue
to preserve the initial write order. If no write request can be
dispatched, allow reads to be dispatched even if the write batch is not
done.

If the device used is not a zoned block device, or if zoned block device
support is disabled, this patch does not modify deadline behavior.
