dmz_reclaim_work() re-arms its DMZ_IDLE_PERIOD poll only when
dmz_should_reclaim() returns false at the start of a pass (and, with the
first patch of this series, when a pass fails with -ENOSPC). After a pass
it calls dmz_schedule_reclaim(), which queues the work only if reclaim
is needed right now. When a pass ends while the target is still busy and
has enough free zones, nothing is queued at all. Once the target goes
idle, nothing re-evaluates dmz_should_reclaim() until another zone
allocation, a "reclaim" message or a resume schedules the work, so the
random or cache zones that filled up under load stay full.
Seen on md RAID5 members on 27 TB host-managed drives: after heavy
writes the random zones stayed full for hours on idle targets; the
workaround was a timer sending "dmsetup message <dev> 0 reclaim". With
this patch the emptied and filled zones were reclaimed within minutes of
the targets going idle, without the timer.
When reclaim is not needed right now, make dmz_schedule_reclaim() queue
the idle poll, so the work stays queued after every pass. It uses
queue_delayed_work(), which leaves already pending work alone, so the
other callers (zone allocation and the "reclaim" message) neither
postpone a pending poll nor delay a pending immediate reclaim.
