A zoned device with limited resources to open or activate zones may
return an error when the host exceeds those limits. The same command may
be successful if retried later, but the host needs to wait for specific
zone states before it should expect a retry to succeed. Have the block
layer provide an appropriate status for these conditions so applications
can distinuguish this error for special handling.

<title>block: fix locking for struct block_device size updates</title>

Two different callers use two different mutexes for updating the
block device size, which obviously doesn't help to actually protect
against concurrent updates from the different callers.  In addition
one of the locks, bd_mutex is rather prone to deadlocks with other
parts of the block stack that use it for high level synchronization.

Switch to using a new spinlock protecting just the size updates, as
that is all we need, and make sure everyone does the update through
the proper helper.

This fixes a bug reported with the nvme revalidating disks during a
hot removal operation, which can currently deadlock on bd_mutex.

<title>block: change REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET and REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL to be odd numbers</title>
<updated>2020-07-17T13:15:10+00:00</updated>

<id>ecdef9f459ad24bf987267df6c25967819016707</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET and REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL are defined as
even numbers 6 and 8, such zone reset bios are treated as READ bios by
bio_data_dir(), which is obviously misleading.

The macro bio_data_dir() is defined in include/linux/bio.h as,
 55 #define bio_data_dir(bio) \
 56         (op_is_write(bio_op(bio)) ? WRITE : READ)

And op_is_write() is defined in include/linux/blk_types.h as,
397 static inline bool op_is_write(unsigned int op)
398 {
399         return (op &amp; 1);
400 }

The convention of op_is_write() is when there is data transfer then the
op code should be odd number, and treat as a write op. bio_data_dir()
treats all bio direction as READ if op_is_write() reports false, and
WRITE if op_is_write() reports true.

Because REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET and REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL are even numbers,
although they don't transfer data but reporting them as READ bio by
bio_data_dir() is misleading and might be wrong. Because these two
commands will reset the writer pointers of the resetting zones, and all
content after the reset write pointer will be invalid and unaccessible,
obviously they are not READ bios in any means.

This patch changes REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET from 6 to 15, and changes
REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL from 8 to 17. Now bios with these two op code
can be treated as WRITE by bio_data_dir(). Although they don't transfer
data, now we keep them consistent with REQ_OP_DISCARD and
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES with the ituition that they change on-media content
and should be WRITE request.
