When multiple processes write data to the same block group on a compressed
zoned filesystem, the underlying device could report I/O errors and data
corruption is possible.

This happens because on a zoned file system, compressed data writes where
sent to the device via a REQ_OP_WRITE instead of a REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND
operation. But with REQ_OP_WRITE and parallel submission it cannot be
guaranteed that the data is always submitted aligned to the underlying
zone's write pointer.

The change to using REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND instead of REQ_OP_WRITE on a zoned
filesystem is non intrusive on a regular file system or when submitting to
a conventional zone on a zoned filesystem, as it is guarded by
btrfs_use_zone_append.

Now working on compression support for subpage, just noticed some
strange code behavior, I'm not sure if it's designed or just a typo.

So please correct me if possible.

This variable seems rather useless...
No need to bother that, that has already been removed by later refactor.

Here for the newly created bio, we will try to call bio_set_dev() for
it. (although later patch refactor this part a little)

So far so good.

But here, for the newly allocated bio, we didn't call bio_set_dev() at all.

Shouldn't all zoned write bio need that bio_set_dev() call?
Yep, bio->bi_bdev must be set before bio_add_zone_append_page() is called.
Otherwise, there will be a crash (first line of bio_add_zone_append_page() gets
the request queue from bio->bi_bdev). I wonder why we do not see NULL pointer
oops here... Johannes ?
That's because it's really really rare/hard to have a compressed extent
just lies at the stripe boundary.

For most cases, the data we provide for compression tests is either:
- Too compressible
   Thus the whole range can be compressed into just one sector, thus
   it will never cross stripe boundary.

- Not compressible at all
   We fall back to regular buffered write, which will do their proper
   stripe boundary check correctly.

Thus it's really near impossible to hit it in various tests.
But this is a data write, isn't it ? So in the zoned case, it means a zone
append write. And adding a page for even a single sector using
bio_add_zone_append_page() will oops if the bio bdev is not set, regardless of
the bio size... Am I misunderstanding something here about this IO path ?
Thanks,
Qu

I guess since most compressed extents are pretty small, it's really hard
to hit a case where we need to split the bio due to stripe boundary,
thus very hard to hit anything wrong.

Anyway, since I'm working on compression code to make compressed write
to follow the same boundary check in extent_io.c, I can definitely
refactor the bio allocation code to add the zoned needed calls.

Thanks,
Qu
