[PATCH 0/5] Remove zone reset all emulation

[Damien Le Moal <dlemoal@kernel.org>]

Jens, Mike,

Here is a set of patches based on block/for-next to remove the emulation
for zone reset all from the block layer and move it to device mapper.
This is done because device mapper is the only zoned device driver that
does not natively support REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL. With this change, the
emulation that may be required depending on a mapped device zone mapping
is moved to device mapper and the reset all feature
(BLK_FEAT_ZONE_RESETALL) can be deleted, as well as all the code
handling this feature in blk-zoned.c. The DM-based handling of
REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL can also be much faster than the block layer
emulation as that operation can be forwarded as is to targets mapping
all sequential write required zones.

Patch 1 modifies null_blk to add the zone_full parameter to initialize
the sequential zones of a zoned null_blk device to be full. This is
convenient when testing read workloads as well as zone management
operations as that avoids having to first write to device to make the
zones full.

Patch 2 is a simple prep patch for patch 3. Patch 3 implements the
emulation for zone reset all in device mapper core code.

Patch 4 removes the block layer based emulation and modifies all drivers
setting the BLK_FEAT_ZONE_RESETALL queue limit feature to not set this
feature (and the feature is removed). This enables the use of the device
mapper emulation.

Patch 5 is a cleanup of blk-zoned.c made possible with patch 4.
