[PATCH v8 2/9] block/mq-deadline: Only use zone locking if necessary

From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>
Date: 2023-08-11 21:36:17
Also in: linux-scsi
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

Measurements have shown that limiting the queue depth to one per zone for
zoned writes has a significant negative performance impact on zoned UFS
devices. Hence this patch that disables zone locking by the mq-deadline
scheduler if the storage controller preserves the command order. This
patch is based on the following assumptions:
- It happens infrequently that zoned write requests are reordered by the
  block layer.
- The I/O priority of all write requests is the same per zone.
- Either no I/O scheduler is used or an I/O scheduler is used that
  serializes write requests per zone.
