The write pointer in NVMe ZNS is invalid for a zone in zone state full. The same also holds true for ZAC/ZBC. The current behavior for NVMe is to simply propagate the wp reported by the drive, even for full zones. Since the wp is invalid for a full zone, the wp reported by the drive may be any value. The way that the sd_zbc driver handles a full zone is to always report the wp as zone start + zone len, regardless of what the drive reported. null_blk also follows this convention. Do the same for NVMe, so that a BLKREPORTZONE ioctl reports the write pointer for a full zone in a consistent way, regardless of the interface of the underlying zoned block device. blkzone report before patch: start: 0x000040000, len 0x040000, cap 0x03e000, wptr 0xfffffffffffbfff8 reset:0 non-seq:0, zcond:14(fu) [type: 2(SEQ_WRITE_REQUIRED)] blkzone report after patch: start: 0x000040000, len 0x040000, cap 0x03e000, wptr 0x040000 reset:0 non-seq:0, zcond:14(fu) [type: 2(SEQ_WRITE_REQUIRED)] Signed-off-by: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@wdc.com> Reviewed-by: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@opensource.wdc.com> Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn <johannes.thumshirn@wdc.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
