[f2fs-dev] [PATCH 0/3] f2fs-tools: return error for zoned devices with non power-of-2 zone size

[Pankaj Raghav]

F2FS only works for zoned devices with power-of-2 zone sizes as the
f2fs section needs to be a power-of-2.

At the moment the linux kernel only accepts zoned devices which are
power-of-2 as block devices but there are zoned devices in the market
which have non power-of-2 zone sizes.

As a proactive measure, this patchset adds a check to return error
from mkfs and fsck for zoned devices with non power-of-2 zone sizes.

Luis Chamberlain (3):
  libf2fs_zoned: factor out helper to get chunk sectors
  libf2fs: add support to report zone size
  libf2fs: don't allow mkfs / fsck on zoned NPO2

[f2fs-dev] [PATCH 1/3] libf2fs_zoned: factor out helper to get chunk sectors

[Pankaj Raghav]

From: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>

This moves the code which fetches the chunk_sectors into a helper.
Yes, this could in theory be used by non-zoned devices but that's
not the case yet, so no need to make this a generic routine.

This makes it clear what this is doing, and helps us make the
subsequent changes easier to read.

[f2fs-dev] [PATCH 2/3] libf2fs: add support to report zone size

[Pankaj Raghav]

From: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>

Expand get_device_info() to report the zone size.
This is now important give power of 2 zone sizees (PO2)
can exist, and so can non power of 2 zones sizes (NPO2),
and we should be aware of the differences in terms of
support.

This will be used more in subsequent patch.

[f2fs-dev] [PATCH 3/3] libf2fs: don't allow mkfs / fsck on zoned NPO2

[Pankaj Raghav]

From: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>

f2fs currently only work with zoned storage devices with a zone
size which is a power of 2 (PO2). So check if a non-power of 2
zone is device is found, and if so disallow its use. This prevents
users from incorrectly using these devices.

This is a non-issue today give today's kernel does not allow NPO2
zon devices to exist. But these devices do exist, and so proactively
put a stop-gap measure in place to prevent the from being assumed
to be used.

The message should be different for the !dev->zone_size case since that
would be an error.

Of the 3 patches of this series, this one is the only one that makes sense
to me. I fail to see how the first 2 patches improve things.

chunk_sectors is an unsigned int. Why the change to uint64_t ?

I just noticed that there is a check for zero value in
f2fs_get_zone_blocks. So this could be simplified with just a power of 2
check.

They *do* exist in the real world, and in Linux they do come up when
users are manually removing the current po2 requirement on Linux
sources [0].

So how about:

This is now important give power of 2 zone sizees (PO2)
do exist and some users are manually forcing to enable these
on Linux [0].

It makes the subsequent patch easier to read and also makes
the displaying zone support separate easier to review. It can
certainly be merged, but I don't think it makes the last patch
as easier to read. It's subjective and up to the maintainer.

The section size actually supports multiple 2MBs, not PO2.

In my opinion, a single patch that adds power of 2 check right after
chunk_sectors is read would be a lot simpler and easier to understand.

Thanks a lot for the clarification. I will remove this statement in the
next revision.

I was partially misled by [1] where it is stated "Segments are collected
into sections. There is genuine flexibility in the size of a section,
though it must be a power of two.".

Just FYI, when I did a quick check, there are some assumptions in the
zoned support for f2fs which assumes the zoned device size is a power of
2 such as in the __f2fs_issue_discard_zone. So if I am not wrong, when
we remove those assumptions in f2fs for zone size, then everything
should work fine provided the zone size is a multiple of 2MB. Am I
missing something here?

I am new to f2fs but is there testsuite that I can run for f2fs apart
from the two tests listed in (x)fstests?

All the implementaion assumes PO2 by block layer in kernel, but basically
f2fs could support 2MBs. So, I remember there's no PO2 check in f2fs as such.

I usually run 1) full xfstests, 2) loop of fsstress + shutdown. You can find
a script here. :)

Yeah, at the moment it is not an issue as kernel rejects non power of 2
zoned devices as a block device. But we have been having some
conversation around this topic [1] to remove this constraint from the
block layer.
