Subject: [PATCH 01/14] block: remove disk_free_zone_resources()
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 11:27:06 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805022719.735323-2-dlemoal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805022719.735323-1-dlemoal@kernel.org>

In the rare event when revalidating the zones of a zoned block device
fails, the device capacity will be dropped to 0. In such case, the zoned
block device will either be rescanned and restored or dropped entirely and
its gendisk destroyed. So calling disk_free_zone_resources() from
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() in case of error does not make much sense. We
can keep the zone resources in case the device is rescanned and restored
or simply free all resources in disk_release_zone_resources() when the
gendick is destroyed.

Remove the call to disk_free_zone_resources() from
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() and squash disk_free_zone_resources() inside
disk_release_zone_resources(). With this change, the conditional creation
of the zone write plugs work queue is not necessary anymore as the
workqueue will keep existing together with all other resources until the
disk is released. This simplifies disk_alloc_zone_resources().
