block: add a report_zones method

2018-10-25T17:17:40Z

Dispatching a report zones command through the request queue is a major pain due to the command reply payload rewriting necessary. Given that blkdev_report_zones() is executing everything synchronously, implement report zones as a block device file operation instead, allowing major simplification of the code in many places. sd, null-blk, dm-linear and dm-flakey being the only block device drivers supporting exposing zoned block devices, these drivers are modified to provide the device side implementation of the report_zones() block device file operation. For device mappers, a new report_zones() target type operation is defined so that the upper block layer calls blkdev_report_zones() can be propagated down to the underlying devices of the dm targets. Implementation for this new operation is added to the dm-linear and dm-flakey targets.

null_blk: fix zoned support for non-rq based operation

2018-09-13T00:21:11Z

The supported added for zones in null_blk seem to assume that only rq based operation is possible. But this depends on the queue_mode setting, if this is set to 0, then cmd->bio is what we need to be operating on. Right now any attempt to load null_blk with queue_mode=0 will insta-crash, since cmd->rq is NULL and null_handle_cmd() assumes it to always be set. Make the zoned code deal with bio's instead, or pass in the appropriate sector/nr_sectors instead.

null_blk: add zone support

2018-07-09T15:07:55Z

Adds support for exposing a null_blk device through the zone device interface. The interface is managed with the parameters zoned and zone_size. If zoned is set, the null_blk instance registers as a zoned block device. The zone_size parameter defines how big each zone will be.
