ZNS emulation follows NVMe ZNS spec but the state of namespace
zones does not persist accross restarts of QEMU. This patch makes the
metadata of ZNS emulation persistent by using new block layer APIs and
the qcow2 img as backing file. It is the second part after the patches
- adding full zoned storage emulation to qcow2 driver.
The metadata of ZNS emulation divides into two parts, zone metadata and
zone descriptor extension data. The zone metadata is composed of zone
states, zone type, wp and zone attributes. The zone information can be
stored at an uint64_t wp to save space and easy access. The structure of
wp of each zone is as follows:
|| zone state (4)| zone type (1)| zone attr (8)| wp (51) ||
The zone descriptor extension data is relatively small comparing to the
overall size therefore we adopt the option that store zded of all zones
in an array regardless of the valid bit set.
To create a zns format qcow2 image file, use:
$ ./build/qemu-img create -f qcow2 zns.qcow2 -o size=768M
-o zone_size=64M -o zone_capacity=64M -o zone_nr_conv=0
-o max_append_sectors=512 -o max_open_zones=0 -o
max_active_zones=0 -o zoned_profile=zns
To attach this file as emulated zns drive in the command line of QEMU, use:
-drive file=${znsimg},id=nvmezns0,format=qcow2,if=none \
-device nvme-ns,drive=nvmezns0,bus=nvme0,nsid=1,uuid=xxx \
