max_zone_append_sectors differs from all other queue limits in that the
final value used is not stored in the queue_limits but needs to be
obtained using queue_limits_max_zone_append_sectors helper.  This not
only adds (tiny) extra overhead to the I/O path, but also can be easily
forgotten in file system code.

Add a new max_hw_zone_append_sectors value to queue_limits which is
set by the driver, and calculate max_zone_append_sectors from that and
the other inputs in blk_validate_zoned_limits, similar to how
max_sectors is calculated to fix this.

<title>dm: handle REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL</title>

<id>81e7706345f06e1e97a092f59697b7e20a0ee868</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit implements processing of the REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL operation
for zoned mapped devices. Given that this operation always has a BIO
sector of 0 and a 0 size, processing through the regular BIO
__split_and_process_bio() function does not work because this function
would always select the first target. Instead, handling of this
operation is implemented using the function __send_zone_reset_all().

Similarly to the __send_empty_flush() function, the new
__send_zone_reset_all() function manually goes through all targets of a
mapped device table doing the following:
1) If the target can natively support REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL,
   __send_duplicate_bios() is used to forward the reset all operation to
   the target. This case is handled with the
   __send_zone_reset_all_native() function.
2) For other targets, the function __send_zone_reset_all_emulated() is
   executed to emulate the execution of REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL using
   regular REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET operations.

Targets that can natively support REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL are identified
using the new target field zone_reset_all_supported. This boolean is set
to true in for targets that have reliable zone limits, that is, targets
that map all sequential write required zones of their zoned device(s).
Setting this field is handled in dm_set_zones_restrictions() and
device_get_zone_resource_limits().

For targets with unreliable zone limits, REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL must be
emulated (case 2 above). This is implemented with
__send_zone_reset_all_emulated() and is similar to the block layer
function blkdev_zone_reset_all_emulated(): first a report zones is done
for the zones of the target to identify zones that need reset, that is,
any sequential write required zone that is not already empty. This is
done using a bitmap and the function dm_zone_get_reset_bitmap() which
sets to 1 the bit corresponding to a zone that needs reset. Next, this
zone bitmap is inspected and a clone BIO modified to use the
REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET operation issued for any zone with its bit set in the
zone bitmap.

This implementation is more efficient than what the block layer does
with blkdev_zone_reset_all_emulated(), which is always used for DM zoned
devices currently: as we can natively use REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL on
targets mapping all sequential write required zones, resetting all zones
of a zoned mapped device can be much faster compared to always emulating
this operation using regular per-zone reset. In the worst case, this
implementation is as-efficient as the block layer emulation. This
reduction in the time it takes to reset all zones of a zoned mapped
device depends directly on the mapped device targets mapping (reliable
zone limits or not).

<content type='text'>
The generic stacking of limits implemented in the block layer cannot
correctly handle stacking of zone resource limits (max open zones and
max active zones) because these limits are for an entire device but the
stacking may be for a portion of that device (e.g. a dm-linear target
that does not cover an entire block device). As a result, when DM
devices are created on top of zoned block devices, the DM device never
has any zone resource limits advertized, which is only correct if all
underlying target devices also have no zone resource limits.
If at least one target device has resource limits, the user may see
either performance issues (if the max open zone limit of the device is
exceeded) or write I/O errors if the max active zone limit of one of
the underlying target devices is exceeded.

While it is very difficult to correctly and reliably stack zone resource
limits in general, cases where targets are not sharing zone resources of
the same device can be dealt with relatively easily. Such situation
happens when a target maps all sequential zones of a zoned block device:
for such mapping, other targets mapping other parts of the same zoned
block device can only contain conventional zones and thus will not
require any zone resource to correctly handle write operations.

For a mapped device constructed with such targets, which includes mapped
devices constructed with targets mapping entire zoned block devices, the
zone resource limits can be reliably determined using the non-zero
minimum of the zone resource limits of all targets.

For mapped devices that include targets partially mapping the set of
sequential write required zones of zoned block devices, instead of
advertizing no zone resource limits, it is also better to set the mapped
device limits to the non-zero minimum of the limits of all targets. In
this case the limits for a target depend on the number of sequential
zones being mapped: if this number of zone is larger than the limits,
then the limits of the device apply and can be used. If on the other
hand the target maps a number of zones smaller than the limits, then no
limits is needed and we can assume that the target has no limits (limits
set to 0).

This commit improves zone resource limits handling as described above
by modifying dm_set_zones_restrictions() to iterate the targets of a
mapped device to evaluate the max open and max active zone limits. This
relies on an internal "stacking" of the limits of the target devices
combined with a direct counting of the number of sequential zones
mapped by the targets.
1) For a target mapping an entire zoned block device, the limits for the
   target are set to the limits of the device.
2) For a target partially mapping a zoned block device, the number of
   mapped sequential zones is used to determine the limits: if the
   target maps more sequential write required zones than the device
   limits, then the limits of the device are used as-is. If the number
   of mapped sequential zones is lower than the limits, then we assume
   that the target has no limits (limits set to 0).
As this evaluation is done for each target, the zone resource limits
for the mapped device are evaluated as the non-zero minimum of the
limits of all the targets.

For configurations resulting in unreliable limits, i.e. a table
containing a target partially mapping a zoned device, a warning message
is issued.

The counting of mapped sequential zones for the target is done using the
new function dm_device_count_zones() which performs a report zones on
the entire block device with the callback dm_device_count_zones_cb().
This count of mapped sequential zones is also used to determine if the
mapped device contains only conventional zones. This allows simplifying
dm_set_zones_restrictions() to not do a report zones just for this.
For mapped devices mapping only conventional zones, as before, the
mapped device is changed to a regular device by setting its zoned limit
to false and clearing all its zone related limits.

<title>dm: Call dm_revalidate_zones() after setting the queue limits</title>

dm_revalidate_zones() is called from dm_set_zone_restrictions() when the
mapped device queue limits are not yet set. However,
dm_revalidate_zones() calls blk_revalidate_disk_zones() and this
function consults and modifies the mapped device queue limits. Thus,
currently, blk_revalidate_disk_zones() operates on limits that are not
yet initialized.

Fix this by moving the call to dm_revalidate_zones() out of
dm_set_zone_restrictions() and into dm_table_set_restrictions() after
executing queue_limits_set().

To further cleanup dm_set_zones_restrictions(), the message about the
type of zone append (native or emulated) is also moved inside
dm_revalidate_zones().

Don't stuff the values directly into the queue without any
synchronization, but instead delay applying the queue limits in
the caller and let dm_set_zones_restrictions work on the limit
