zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned
block device as a file. This is intended to simplify implementation of
application zoned block device raw access support by allowing switching
to the well known POSIX file API rather than relying on direct block
device file ioctls and read/write. Zonefs, for instance, greatly
simplifies the implementation of LSM (log-structured merge) tree
structures (such as used in RocksDB and LevelDB) on zoned block devices
by allowing SSTables to be stored in a zone file similarly to a regular
file system architecture, hence reducing the amount of change needed in
the application.

Due to its simplicity, zonefs is in fact closer to a raw block device
access interface than to a full feature POSIX file system. This RFC
implementation uses Christoph's work on generic iomap writepage
implementation and is based on Christoph's gfs2 tree available at
http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git/shortlog/refs/heads/gfs2-iomap

Zonefs on-disk metadata is reduced to a super block to store a magic
number, a uuid and optional features flags and values. On mount, zonefs
uses blkdev_report_zones() to obtain the device zone configuration and
populates the mount point with a static file tree solely based on this
information. E.g. file sizes come from zone write pointer offset managed
by the device itself.

The zone files created on mount have the following characteristics.
1) Files representing zones of the same type are grouped together
   under a common directory:
  * For conventional zones, the directory "cnv" is used.
  * For sequential write zones, the directory "seq" is used.
  These two directories are the only directories that exist in zonefs.
  Users cannot create other directories and cannot rename nor delete
  the "cnv" and "seq" directories.
2) The name of zone files is by default the number of the file within
   the zone type directory, in order of increasing zone start sector.
3) The size of conventional zone files is fixed to the device zone size.
   Conventional zone files cannot be truncated.
4) The size of sequential zone files represent the file zone write
   pointer position relative to the zone start sector. Truncating these
   files is allowed only down to 0, in wich case, the zone is reset to
   rewind the file zone write pointer position to the start of the zone.
5) All read and write operations to files are not allowed beyond the
   file zone size. Any access exceeding the zone size is failed with
   the -EFBIG error.
6) Creating, deleting, renaming or modifying any attribute of files
   and directories is not allowed. The only exception being the file
   size of sequential zone files which can be modified by write
   operations or truncation to 0.

Several optional features of zonefs can be enabled at format time.
* Conventional zone aggregation: contiguous conventional zones can be
  agregated into a single larger file instead of multiple per-zone
  files.
* File naming: the default file number file name can be switched to
  using the base-10 value of the file zone start sector.
* File ownership: The owner UID and GID of zone files is by default 0
  (root) but can be changed to any valid UID/GID.
* File access permissions: the default 640 access permissions can be
  changed.

The mkzonefs tool is used to format zonefs. This tool will be available
on Github at:

https://github.com/westerndigitalcorporation/zonefs-tools

Example: the following formats a host-managed SMR HDD with the
conventional zone aggregation feature enabled.

mkzonefs -o aggr_cnv /dev/sdX
mount -t zonefs /dev/sdX /mnt
ls -l /mnt/
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 11 13:00 cnv
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 11 13:00 seq

ls -l /mnt/cnv
total 137363456
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 140660178944 Apr 11 13:00 0

ls -Fal -v /mnt/seq
total 14511243264
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 15942528 Jul 10 11:53 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root     1152 Jul 10 11:53 ../
-rw-r----- 1 root root        0 Jul 10 11:53 0
-rw-r----- 1 root root 33554432 Jul 10 13:43 1
-rw-r----- 1 root root        0 Jul 10 11:53 2
-rw-r----- 1 root root        0 Jul 10 11:53 3
...

The aggregated conventional zone file can be used as a regular file.
Operations such as the following work.

mkfs.ext4 /mnt/cnv/0
mount -o loop /mnt/cnv/0 /data

It'll probably be good to add yourself as a maitainer in MAINTAINERS, so
people see there's a go-to person for patches. Also a list (fsdevel@) and a
git tree won't harm.

I know I've been advocating for having on-disk metadata, but do we really
sacrifice a whole zone per default? I thought we'll have on-disk metadata
optional (I might be completely off the track here and need more coffee to
wake up though).

That would be cool to be controllable via a mount option and have it:
	sbi->s_uid = opt.uid;
	sbi->s_gid = opt.gid;
	sbi->s_perm = opt.mode;

or pass these mount options to zonefs_read_super() and they can be set after
the feature validation.

I'm not sure the (end)offset comments are of any value here, it's nothing that
can't be obtained from pahole or gdb (or even by hand).

I'd rather not write the uid, gid, permissions and startsect name to the
superblock but have it controllable via a mount option. Just write the feature
to the superblock so we know we _can_ control this per mount.

Yes, indeed we do not really need the super block for now. But it is still super
useful to have so that:
1) libblkid and other such userland tools can probe the disk to see its format,
and preserve the usual "use -force option if you really want to overwrite"
behavior of all format tools.
2) Still related to previous point, the super block allows commands like:
mount /dev/sdX /mnt
and
mount -t zonefs /dev/sdX /mnt
to have the same result. That is, without the super block, if the drive was
previously formatted for btrfs or f2fs, the first command will mount that old
format, while the second will mount zonefs without necessarily erasing the old
FS super block.
3) Having the super block with a version number will allow in the future to add
more metadata (e.g. file names as decided by the application) while allowing
backward compatibility of the code.

Yes, I thought of that and even had that implemented in a previous version. I
switched to the static format time definition only so that the resulting
operation of the FS is a little more like a normal file system, namely, mounting
the device does not change file attributes and so can be mounted and seen with
the same attribute no matter where it is mounted, regardless of the mount options.

This is another view. See my thinking above. Thoughts ?

Hm, both a valid views and I'm not sure which is better for the production use
cases either.

With the approach I had in mind one could pre-format dozens of drives and
deploy them in the field. The admins then can decide what
UID/GID/Permission/etc.. the application layer needs for a particular drive
and supply these parameters on mount time.

With the approach you implemented here we don't have the surprises if someone
accidentally (or maliciously) passed the wrong parameters.

A combined approach is also not 100% discussion free, as what has preference,
on-disk or mount time.

I'll be thinking about it and come back once I have an idea.

As far as I can see, a zone usually is pretty big in size (for example,
256MB). But [1, 2] showed that about 60% of files on a file system
volume has size about 4KB - 128KB. Also [3] showed that modern
application uses a very complex files' structures that are updated in
random order. Moreover, [4] showed that 90% of all files are not used
after initial creation, those that are used are normally short-lived,
and that if a file is not used in some manner the day after it is
created, it will probably never be used; 1% of all files are used
daily.

It sounds for me that mostly this approach will lead to waste of zones'
space. Also, the necessity to update data of the same file will be
resulted in frequent moving of files' data from one zone to another
one. If we are talking about SSDs then it sounds like quick and easy
way to kill this device fast.

Do you have in mind some special use-case?

Thanks,
Viacheslav Dubeyko.

As the commit message mentions, zonefs is not a traditional file system by any
mean and much closer to a raw block device access interface than anything else.
This is the entire point of this exercise: allow replacing the raw block device
accesses with the easier to use file system API. Raw block device access is also
file API so one could argue that this is nonsense. What I mean here is that by
abstracting zones with files, the user does not need to do the zone
configuration discovery with ioctl(BLKREPORTZONES), does not need to do explicit
zone resets with ioctl(BLKRESETZONE), does not have to "start from one sector
and write sequentially from there" management for write() calls (i.e. seeks),
etc. This is all replaced with the file abstraction: directory entry list
replace zone information, truncate() replace zone reset, file current position
replaces the application zone write pointer management.

This simplifies implementing support of applications for zoned block devices,
but only in cases where said applications:
1) Operate with large files
2) have no or only minimal need for random writes

A perfect match for this as mentioned in the commit message are LSM-tree based
applications such as LevelDB or RocksDB. Other examples, related, include
Bluestore distributed object store which uses RocksDB but still has a bluefs
layer that could be replaced with zonefs.

As an illustration of this, Ting Yao of Huazhong University of Science and
Technology (China) and her team modified LevelDB to work with zonefs. The early
prototype code is on github here: https://github.com/PDS-Lab/GearDB/tree/zonefs

LSM-Tree applications typically operate on large files, in the same range as
zoned block device zone size (e.g. 256 MB or so). While this is generally a
parameter that can be changed, the use of zonefs and zoned block device forces
using the zone size as the SSTable file maximum size. This can have an impact on
the DB performance depending on the device type, but that is another discussion.
The point here is the code simplifications that zonefs allows.

For more general purpose use cases (small files, lots of random modifications),
we already have the dm-zoned device mapper and f2fs support and we are also
currently working on btrfs support. These solutions are in my opinion more
appropriate than zonefs to address the points you raised.

Best regards.

Just a few quick things as I read through this to see how it uses
iomap....

So a write() call that is for a length longer than max_isize is
going to end up being a short write? i.e. iomap_apply() will loop
mapping the inode until either we reach the end of the user write
or we hit max_isize?

How is userspace supposed to tell the difference between a short
write and a write that overruns max_isize?

Why is the write length set to INT_MAX here? What happens when we
get a zone that is larger than 2GB? i.e. the length parameter is a
loff_t, not an int....

Not sure GFP_KERNEL is safe here. This is called holding a
filesystem lock here, so it's not immediately clear to me if this
can deadlock through memory reclaim or not...

Ok, so we are calling zonefs_truncate_seqfile() holding the i_rwsem
as well. That does tend to imply GFP_NOFS should probably be used
for the blkdev_reset_zones() call.

Why is a wrapper needed for this?

The goto can be avoided in this case simply:

	if (zonefs_file_is_conv(inode)) {
		/* do flush */
	}
	return blkdev_issue_flush(inode->i_sb->s_bdev, GFP_KERNEL, NULL);

Isn't this true for both types of zone at this point? i.e. at this
point:

	max_pos = i_size_read(inode);
	if (iocb->ki_pos >= max_pos)
		return 0;

because i_size is either the zonefs_file_max_size() for conventional
zones (which we've already checked) or it's the write pointer for
a sequential zone. i.e. it's the max position for either case.

The iov_iter should never be zero length here, because that implies
the position was >= max_pos and that will be caught by the above
checks...

IIUC, write IO completion takes the inode lock to serialise file
size updates for sequential zones. In that case, shouldn't this lock
be taken before we do the EOF checks above?

What deadlock does the memalloc_noio_save() avoid? There should be a
comment explaining what problem memalloc_noio_save() avoids
everywhere it is used like this. If it isn't safe to do GFP_KERNEL
allocations here under the i_rwsem, then why would it be safe to
do GFP_KERNEL allocations in the truncate code under the i_rwsem?

This looks .... dangerous. If the write pointer was advanced, but
the data wasn't written properly, this causes stale data exposure on
write failure. i.e. it's not failsafe.

I suspect that on a sequential zone write failure and the write
pointer does not equal the offset of the write, we should consider
the zone corrupt. Also, this is for direct IO completion for
sequential writes, yes? So what does the page cache truncation
acheive given that only direct IO writes are allowed to these files?

Shouldn't this have a check that it's being called on a sequential

Urk. This locking is nasty, and doesn't avoid the problem.....

... because I think this can deadlock.

AFAIA, the rule is that IO completion callbacks cannot take
a lock that is held across IO submission. The reason is that
IO can complete so fast that the submission code runs the
completion. i.e. iomap_dio_rw() can be the function that calls
iomap_dio_complete() and runs the IO completion.

In which case, this will deadlock because we are already holding the
i_rwsem and the end_io completion will try to take it again.

zonefs_iomap_begin() returns -EIO in this case and issues a warning.

Hmmm. The split of checks and doing stuff between direct IO and
buffered IO seems a bit arbitrary. e.g. the "sequential zones can
only do append writes" is in zonefs_file_dio_aio_write(), but we
do a check that "sequential zones can only do direct IO" here.

And then we have the sync code that can only occur on buffered IO,
which we don't have a wrapper function for but really should.  And I
suspect that the locking is going to have to change here because of
the direct IO issues, so maybe it would be best to split this up
similar to the way XFS has two completely separate functions for the
two paths....

If this is all the inode destructor is, then implement ->free_inode
instead. i.e.

zonefs_free_inode(inode)
{
	kmem_cache_free(zonefs_inode_cachep, ZONEFS_I(inode));
}

and the VFS takes care of the RCU freeing of the inode.

This doesn't tell me anything useful. Does it mean "we should use

I guess this means partial setup due to failure needs to be torn

Hmmm. That's a big allocation. That might be several megabytes for a
typical 16TB SMR drive, right? It might be worth adding a comment
indicating just how large this is, because it's somewhat unusual in
kernel space, even for temporary storage.

These should be block layer helpers as the operate on blk_zone,
not zonefs structures.

so it's a disk address, but it's encoded in bytes rather than sectors
so that makes it an offset. That's kinda confusing coming from a
filesystem that makes a clear distinction between these two things.

On-disk version numbers are kinda redundant when you have
fine grained feature fields to indicate the on-disk layout...

Are these the on-disk feature bit definitions, or just used in
memory? Or both?

AFAIR this is a left over from an older patch of me where an open of a
sequential only zone automagically appended O_APPEND, but this broke all kinds
of assumptions user-space did so Damien ripped it out again. So yes the
wrapper can go as well.

Sounds pretty reasonable. But I still have two worries.

First of all, even modest file system could contain about 100K files on
a volume. So, if our zone is 256 MB then we need in 24 TB storage
device for 100K files. Even if we consider some special use-case of
database, for example, then it's pretty easy to imagine the creation a
lot of files. So, are we ready to provide such huge storage devices
(especially, for the case of SSDs)?

Secondly, the allocation scheme is too simplified for my taste and it
could create a significant fragmentation of a volume. Again, 256 MB is
pretty big size. So, I assume that, mostly, it will be allocated only
one zone at first for a created file. If file grows then it means that
it will need to allocate the two contigous zones and to move the file's
content. Finally, it sounds for me that it is possible to create a lot
of holes and to achieve the volume state when it exists a lot of free
space but files will be unable to grow and it will be impossible to add
a new data on the volume. Have you made an estimation of the suggested
allocation scheme?

Thanks,
Viacheslav Dubeyko.

The small file use case you are describing is not zonefs target use case. It
does not make any sense to discuss small files in the context of zonefs. If
small file is the use case needed for an application, then a "normal" file
system should be use such as f2fs or btrfs (zoned block device support is being
worked on, see patches posted on btrfs list).

As mentioned previously, zonefs goal is to represent zones of a zoned block
device with files, thus providing a simple abstraction one file == one zone and
simplifying application implementation. And this means that the only sensible
use case for zonefs is applications using large container like files. LSM-tree
based applications being a very good match in this respect.

What do you mean allocation scheme ? There is none ! one file == one zone and
all files are fully provisioned and allocated on mount. zonefs does not allow
the creation of files and there is no dynamic "block allocation". Again, please
do not consider zonefs as a normal file system. It is closer to a raw block
device interface than to a fully featured file system.

Best regards.

offset >= max_isize is already checked when zonefs_file_write_iter() is called
and the write size truncated in that function too so that a write never goes
beyond the zone size. This check here is probably redundant and not needed. I
left it temporarily to make sure I was using iomap correctly and to check bugs.

Yes indeed. Since no access can go beyond the file size,
zonefs_file_max_size(inode) is the right value here I think, even though
LLONG_MAX would work too.

Conventional zones can be written with buffered I/Os and mmap, so recursing into
the FS on the memory allocation while holding i_mmap_sem is a possibility I
think. I changed this to GFP_NOFS.

It is not for now. As the comment says, we may want to have a wrapper like this
in the future to do a device level zone open/close in sync with file
open/release. This is not useful for SMR HDDs but probably will for NVMe zoned
namespace devices.

Similarly to the truncate (zone reset) code, GFP_NOFS is safer here. So I
changed the call to memalloc_nofs_save/restore and added a comment.

It is safe because the device will return zeros or the format pattern for sector
reads that are beyond the zone write pointer. No stale data will be exposed, as
long as the device can be trusted to correctly handle reads beyond the write
pointer.

Yes, the page cache truncation can be removed.

Yes, a check can be added but the only caller being zonefs_file_dio_aio_write()
after checking that the inode is not a conventional zone file, I thought it was
not needed.

Do you mean the stale data exposure problem ? As said above, the device
guarantees that stale data will not be returned for reads after write pointer.
Old data (data written before the last zone reset) is not readable.

Yes, very good idea. I will clean this up to clarify all cases.

Yes, I remember now that the rcu free inode code was moved as generic in VFS a
while back. I will clean this up.

This is for ZONEFS_ZTYPE_ALL, which does not have a directory. The NULL is only
there because the array is using ZONEFS_ZTYPE_MAX. This can be simplified.

Yes. A full zone report (64B per zone) will take to 4-5MB on a 15+ TB disk. I
will comment this. Doing the big allocation to allow having all zones on hand
before creating the inodes makes the code easier. But this can be optimized with
a partial report in a loop too. I will rewrite this code to avoid the big
temporary allocation.

It is defined only to allow thee declaration of sbi->s_nr_zones as an array of
ZONEFS_ZTYPE_MAX unsigned int, so that we get 3 counters: total number of zones
is always larger or equal to conv zones + seq zones. Initially, this made the
code somewhat cleaner, but I realize now not really easier to understand :)

I will remove it and make things more obvious.

Yes. I guess. I was kind of reserving the s_features field for optional things,
hence the version number for on-disk mandatory things. But I may as well use it

These are used for both on-disk super block and in-memory sb info.

Thank you very much for the detailed review. I will rework this and repost.

I am talking not about file size but about number of files on the
volume here. I meant that file system could easily contain about
100,000 files on the volume. So, if every file uses 256 MB zone then
100,000 files need in 24 TB volume.

OK. It sounds that a file cannot grow beyond the allocated number of
contigous zone(s) during the mount operation. Am I correct? But if a
file is needed to be resized what can be done in such case? Should it
need to re-mount the file system?

By the way, does this approach provides the way to use the device's
internal parallelism? What should anybody take into account for
exploiting the device's internal parallelism?

Thanks,

zonefs provides a different representation of the raw device. It is not
abstracting it. One file is one zone. So if the use case needs more files, then
another device model must be used (higher capacity or smaller zone size). It is
as simple as that.

In the case of sequential zone files, one file always represents a single zone.
In the case of conventional zones, the default behavior is the same, and
optionally one file can be a set of contiguous conventional zones. And a remount
can switch between one conventional zone per file or aggregated conventional
zones files. Conventional zone files have a fixed size set to the zone size.
These files cannot be truncated. For sequential zone files, only truncation to 0
is possible. That is equivalent to doing a zone reset.

A remount will not allow resizing the maximum size of files because that is
determine by the device zone size, which is fixed and cannot be changed.

zonefs uses the standard BIO interface which does not have any provision for
exposing HW specific parallel resources. So no, there is no such feature
implemented. Zoned block devices are for now SMR HDDs only anyway, and HDDs are
have no parallelism.

Hi, Damien,

Did you consider creating a shared library?  I bet that would also
ease application adoption for the use cases you're interested in, and
would have similar performance.

Yes, it would, but to a lesser extent since system calls would need to be
replaced with library calls. Earlier work on LevelDB by Ting used the library
approach with libzbc, not quite a "libzonefs" but close enough. Working with
LevelDB code gave me the idea for zonefs. Compared to a library, the added
benefits are that specific language bindings are not a problem and further
simplify the code changes needed to support zoned block devices. In the case of
LevelDB for instance, C++ is used and file accesses are using streams, which
makes using a library a little difficult, and necessitates more changes just for
the internal application API itself. The needed changes spread beyond the device
access API.

This is I think the main advantage of this simple in-kernel FS over a library:
the developer can focus on zone block device specific needs (write sequential
pattern and garbage collection) and forget about the device access parts as the
standard system calls API can be used.

Another approach I considered is using FUSE, but went for a regular (albeit
simple) in-kernel approach due to performance concerns. While any difference in
performance for SMR HDDs would probably not be noticeable, performance would
likely be lower for upcoming NVMe zonenamespace devices compared to the
in-kernel approach.

But granted, most of the arguments I can put forward for an in-kernel FS
solution vs a user shared library solution are mostly subjective. I think though
that having support directly provided by the kernel brings zoned block devices
into the "mainstream storage options" rather than having them perceived as
fringe solutions that need additional libraries to work correctly. Zoned block
devices are not going away and may in fact become more mainstream as
implementing higher capacities more and more depends on the sequential write
interface.

Best regards.

OK, I can see how a file system eases adoption across multiple
languages, and may, in some cases, be easier to adopt by applications.
However, I'm not a fan of the file system interface for this usage.
Once you present a file system, there are certain expectations from
users, and this fs breaks most of them.

I'll throw out another suggestion that may or may not work (I haven't
given it much thought).  Would it be possible to create a device mapper
target that would export each zone as a separate block device?  I
understand that wouldn't help with the write pointer management, but it
would allow you to create a single "file" for each zone.

A file system like this would further cement in my mind that zoned block
devices are not maintstream storage options.  I guess this part is
highly subjective.  :)

Yes, that is true. zonefs differs significantly from regular file systems. But I
would argue that breaking the users expectation is OK because that would happen
only and only if the user does not understand the hardware it is dealing with. I
still get emails regularly about mkfs.ext4 not working with SMR drives :)
In other words, since kernel 4.10 and exposure of HM SRM HDDs as regular block
device files, we already are in a sense breaking legacy user expectations
regarding the devices under device files... So I am not too worried about this
point.

If zonefs makes it into the kernel, I probably will be getting more emails about
"it does not work !" until SMR drive users out there understand what they are
dealing with. We are making a serious effort with documenting everything related
to zoned block devices. See https://zonedstorage.io. zonefs, if included in the
kernel, will be part of that documentation effort. Of note is that this
documentation is external to the kernel, we still need to increase our
contribution to the kernel docs for zoned block devices. And we will.

Well, I do not think you need a new device mapper for this. dm-linear supports
zoned block devices and will happily allow mapping a single zone and expose a
block device file for it. My problem with this approach is that SMR drives are
huge, and getting bigger. A 15 TB drive has 55380 zones of 256 MB. Upcoming 20
TB drives have more than 75000 zones. Using dm-linear or any per-zone device
mapper target would create a huge resources pressure as the amount of memory
alone that would be used per zone would be much higher than with a file system
and the setup would also take far longer to complete compared to zonefs mount.

Yes, it is subjective :) Many (even large scale) data centers are already
switching to "all SMR" backend storage, relying on traditional block devices
(SSDs mostly) for active data. For these systems, SMR is a mainstream solution.

When saying "mainstream", I was referring more to the software needed to use
these drives rather than the drives as a solution. zonefs allows mapping the
zone sequential write constraint to a known concept: file append write. And in
this sense, I think we can consider zonefs as progress.

Ideally, I would not bother with this at all and point people to Btrtfs (work in
progress) or XFS (next in the pipeline) for using an FS on zoned block devices.
But there is definitely a tendency for many distributed applications to try to
do without any file system at all (Ceph -> Bluestore is one example). And as
mentioned before, some other use cases where a fully POSIX compliant file system
is not really necessary at all (LevelDB, RocksDB). zonefs fits in the middle
ground here between removing the normal file system and going to raw block
device. Bluestore has "bluefs" underneath rocksdb after all. One cannot really
never go directly raw block device and in most cases some level of abstraction
(space management) is needed. That is where zonefs fits.

Best regards.

Your comments got me thinking more about zonefs specifications/features and I am
now wondering if I am not pushing this too far in terms of simplicity. So here
is a new RFC/Question to chew on... While keeping as a target the concept of
"file == zone" or as close to it as possible, what do you think zonefs minimal
feature set should be ?

One idea I have since a while back now is this:
1) If a zone is unused, do not show a file for it. This means adding a dynamic
"zone allocation" code and supporting O_CREAT on open, unlink, etc. So have more
normal file system calls behave as with a normal FS.
2) Allow file names to be decided by the user instead of using a fixed names.
Again, have O_CREAT behave as expected
3) Potentially allow files to grow beyond a single zone, while keeping the space
allocation unit as a zone.

Thinking of our current LevelDB/RocksDB use cases, (1) and (2) would allow even
further simplifying the support code since with these, the SSTable file
management can essentially stay completely untouched.

(3) is not necessary for LSM-Tree type use cases since typically zones are large
and so aligning SSTables to zones the most efficient approach. However, I can
see other use cases that would benefit from (3). One example would be
Surveillance system video recording or any system dealing with high bitrate
Video. E.g. A 256 MB zone size is only 100s of high definition broadcasting (20
Mbps or so). SO managing storage space in such big chunks is OK with such use cases.

These 3 additional features would make zonefs much closer to a regular FS
behavior while keeping its IO path simple enough to be in par with fast raw
block device accesses. Additional metadata management, completely absent for
now, would be needed though. But by not allowing directories (flat namespace),
this metadata management would be reduced to an inode table and a bitmap for
zone use management. Anything beyond these features and I think we would be
better off with a regular file system.

Thoughts ?

So now you have to implement a persistent directory structure,
atomic/transactional updates, etc. You've just added at least 2
orders of magnitude complexity to zonefs and a very substantial
amount of additional, ongoing QA to ensure it works correctly.

I think keeping it simple by exposing all zones to userspace and
leaving it to the application to track/index what zones it is
using is the simplest way forward for everyone.

Cheers,

Dave.

OK. Anything more complicated would probably be better implemented within an
existing file system.

Thank you for your comments.

Right, it's kinda insane to expect userspace to manage tens of
thousands of "block devices" like this. You go run blkid on one of
these devices, and what happens? Then there's stuff like udev
overhead, grub os-probing that walks all block devices it can find,
etc. Then consider putting hundreds of SMR drives into a machine
that has multiple paths to each drive....

As such, I just don't think this block device approach is feasible,
especially as Managing tens of thousands of individual small data
regions in a storage device is exactly what filesystems are for.

Cheers,

Dave.
