block: add zone open, close and finish ioctl support

2019-11-07T13:31:50+00:00

Introduce three new ioctl commands BLKOPENZONE, BLKCLOSEZONE and
BLKFINISHZONE to allow applications to control the condition of zones
on a zoned block device through the execution of the REQ_OP_ZONE_OPEN,
REQ_OP_ZONE_CLOSE and REQ_OP_ZONE_FINISH operations.

Contains contributions from Matias Bjorling, Hans Holmberg,
Dmitry Fomichev, Keith Busch, Damien Le Moal and Christoph Hellwig.

uapi: fix ioctl documentation

2019-01-24T18:11:42+00:00

The description of the BLKGETNRZONES zoned block device ioctl was not
added as a comment together with this ioctl definition in commit
65e4e3eee83d7 ("block: Introduce BLKGETNRZONES ioctl"). Add its
description here.

uapi: linux/blkzoned.h: fix BLKGETZONESZ and BLKGETNRZONES definitions

2018-12-17T02:52:02+00:00

According to the documentation in include/uapi/asm-generic/ioctl.h,
_IOW means userspace is writing and kernel is reading, and
_IOR means userspace is reading and kernel is writing.

In case of these two ioctls, kernel is writing and userspace is reading,
so they have to be _IOR instead of _IOW.

Get a zoned block device total number of zones. The device can be a
partition of the whole device. The number of zones is always 0 for
regular block devices.

include/uapi/linux/blkzoned.h: Remove a superfluous __packed directive

2018-07-09T15:07:52+00:00

Using the __packed directive for a structure that does not need
it is wrong because it makes gcc generate suboptimal code on some
architectures. Hence remove the __packed directive from the
blk_zone_report structure definition. See also
http://digitalvampire.org/blog/index.php/2006/07/31/why-you-shouldnt-use-__attribute__packed/.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license

2017-11-02T10:20:11+00:00

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

blk-zoned: implement ioctls

2016-10-18T16:05:42+00:00

Adds the new BLKREPORTZONE and BLKRESETZONE ioctls for respectively
obtaining the zone configuration of a zoned block device and resetting
the write pointer of sequential zones of a zoned block device.

The BLKREPORTZONE ioctl maps directly to a single call of the function
blkdev_report_zones. The zone information result is passed as an array
of struct blk_zone identical to the structure used internally for
processing the REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT operation.  The BLKRESETZONE ioctl
maps to a single call of the blkdev_reset_zones function.

block: Implement support for zoned block devices

2016-10-18T16:05:40+00:00

Implement zoned block device zone information reporting and reset.
Zone information are reported as struct blk_zone. This implementation
does not differentiate between host-aware and host-managed device
models and is valid for both. Two functions are provided:
blkdev_report_zones for discovering the zone configuration of a
zoned block device, and blkdev_reset_zones for resetting the write
pointer of sequential zones. The helper function blk_queue_zone_size
and bdev_zone_size are also provided for, as the name suggest,
obtaining the zone size (in 512B sectors) of the zones of the device.
