For devices that natively support zone append operations,
REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND BIOs are not processed through zone write plugging
and are immediately issued to the zoned device. This means that there is
no write pointer offset tracking done for these operations and that a
zone write plug is not necessary.
However, when receiving a zone append BIO, we may already have a zone
write plug for the target zone if that zone was previously partially
written using regular write operations. In such case, since the write
pointer offset of the zone write plug is not incremented by the amount
of sectors appended to the zone, 2 issues arise:
1) we risk leaving the plug in the disk hash table if the zone is fully
written using zone append or regular write operations, because the
write pointer offset will never reach the "zone full" state.
2) Regular write operations that are issued after zone append operations
will always be failed by blk_zone_wplug_prepare_bio() as the write
pointer alignment check will fail, even if the user correctly
accounted for the zone append operations and issued the regular
writes with a correct sector.
Avoid these issues by immediately removing the zone write plug of zones
that are the target of zone append operations when blk_zone_plug_bio()
is called. The new function blk_zone_wplug_handle_native_zone_append()
implements this for devices that natively support zone append. The
removal of the zone write plug using disk_remove_zone_wplug() requires
aborting all plugged regular write using disk_zone_wplug_abort() as
otherwise the plugged write BIOs would never be executed (with the plug
removed, the completion path will never see again the zone write plug as
disk_get_zone_wplug() will return NULL). Rate-limited warnings are added
to blk_zone_wplug_handle_native_zone_append() and to
disk_zone_wplug_abort() to signal this.
Since blk_zone_wplug_handle_native_zone_append() is called in the hot
path for operations that will not be plugged, disk_get_zone_wplug() is
optimized under the assumption that a user issuing zone append
operations is not at the same time issuing regular writes and that there
are no hashed zone write plugs. The struct gendisk atomic counter
nr_zone_wplugs is added to check this, with this counter incremented in
disk_insert_zone_wplug() and decremented in disk_remove_zone_wplug().
To be consistent with this fix, we do not need to fill the zone write
plug hash table with zone write plugs for zones that are partially
written for a device that supports native zone append operations.
So modify blk_revalidate_seq_zone() to return early to avoid allocating
and inserting a zone write plug for partially written sequential zones
if the device natively supports zone append.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
