As long as sector is within the device maximum capacity (in 512B unit), blk_lookup_zone will return the pointer to the zone structure containing that sector (the RB-tree does not have any constraint regarding zone size).

We can certainly protect against > that by delaying the discard. As you can see I am not including Host Managed in the runt check. Also you may note that in my patch to get Host Aware working with the zone cache I do not include the runt zone in the cache. So as it sits I need this fallback otherwise doing blkdiscard over the whole device ends in a error, as well as mkfs.f2fs et. al. >> spin_lock_irqsave(&zone->lock, flags); >> - >> if (zone->state == BLK_ZONE_UNKNOWN || >> zone->state == BLK_ZONE_BUSY) { >> sd_zbc_debug_ratelimit(sdkp, >> -"Discarding zone %zu state %x, >> deferring\n", >> +"Discarding zone %zx state %x, >> deferring\n", > > Sector values are usually displayed in decimal.

I think that would be unfortunate for Host Managed but I think it's the right choice for Host Aware at this time. So either we base it on disk type or we have some other config flag added to sysfs. >> - if (blk_zone_is_empty(zone)) { >> - sd_zbc_debug_ratelimit(sdkp, >>

Why not ? The RB-tree will handle it just fine (the insert and lookup code as Hannes had them was not relying on a constant zone size). > So as it sits I need this fallback otherwise doing blkdiscard over > the whole device ends in a error, as well as mkfs.f2fs et. al. Got it, but I do not see a problem with including it. I have not checked the code, but the split of a big discard call into "chunks" should be already handling the last chunk and make sure that the operation does not exceed the device capacity (in any case, that's easy to fix in the sd_zbc_setup_discard code). >>> zone->start, zone->state); >>> ret = BLKPREP_DEFER; >>> goto out; >>> @@ -406,46 +428,80 @@ int sd_zbc_setup_discard(struct scsi_disk *sdkp, >>> struct request *rq, >>> if (zone->state == BLK_ZONE_OFFLINE) { >>> /* let the drive fail the command */ >>> sd_zbc_debug_ratelimit(sdkp, >>> -"Discarding offline zone %zu\n", >>> +"Discarding offline zone %zx\n", >>> zone->start); >>> goto out; >>> } >>> - >>> - if (!blk_zone_is_smr(zone)) { >>> + if (blk_zone_is_cmr(zone)) { >>> + use_write_same = true; >>> sd_zbc_debug_ratelimit(sdkp, >>> -"Discarding %s zone %zu\n", >>> -blk_zone_is_cmr(zone) ?

I didn't pay too much attention while brining this forward. I think a few of my hacks may be pointless now. I'll try to rework it and get rid of the runt check. >> So as it sits I need this fallback otherwise doing blkdiscard over >> the whole device ends in a error, as well as mkfs.f2fs et. al. > > Got it, but I do not see a problem with including it.

Yes I agree the split of big discards does handle the last chunk correctly. >>> Some 10TB host managed disks out there have 1% conventional zone space, >>> that is 100GB of capacity.

But that case is covered in sd.c, so the > behavior is consistent across all models. So why forcing data zeroing > when the standards do not mandate it ? Well you do have point. It appears to be only mkfs and similar tools that are really utilizing discard zeros data at the moment. I did a quick test: mkfs -t ext4 -b 4096 -g 32768 -G 32 \ -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0,offset=0,num_backup_sb=0,packed_meta_blocks=1,discard \ -O flex_bg,extent,sparse_super2 - discard zeroes data true - 3 minutess - discard zeroes data false - 6 minutes So for the smaller conventional space on the current HA drive there is some advantage to enabling discard zeroes data. However for a larger conventional space you are correct the overall impact is worse performance. For some reason I had been assuming that some file systems used or relied on discard zeroes data during normal operation. Now that I am looking for that I don't seem to be finding any evidence of it, so aside from mkfs I don't have as good an argument discard zeroes data as I though I did.
