Series block: Introduce REQ_ALLOCATE flag for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES | expand

Commit Message

Kirill Tkhai Jan. 22, 2020, 10:58 a.m. UTC
This adds support for REQ_ALLOCATE extension of REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES
operation, which encourages a block device driver to just allocate
blocks (or mark them allocated) instead of actual blocks zeroing.
REQ_ALLOCATE is aimed to be used for network filesystems providing
a block device interface. Also, block devices, which map a file
on other filesystem (like loop), may use this for less fragmentation
and batching fallocate() requests. Hypervisors like QEMU may
introduce optimizations of clusters allocations based on this.

BLKDEV_ZERO_ALLOCATE is a new corresponding flag for
blkdev_issue_zeroout().

Stacking devices start from zero max_allocate_sectors limit for now,
and the support is going to be implemented separate for each device
in the future.

This patch and following two are looks fine to me.
