Commit Message

Dmitry Fomichev Sept. 12, 2020, 10:54 p.m. UTC
A ZNS drive that is emulated by this module is currently initialized
with all zones Empty upon startup. However, actual ZNS SSDs save the
state and condition of all zones in their internal NVRAM in the event
of power loss. When such a drive is powered up again, it closes or
finishes all zones that were open at the moment of shutdown. Besides
that, the write pointer position as well as the state and condition
of all zones is preserved across power-downs.

This commit adds the capability to have a persistent zone metadata
to the device. The new optional module property, "zone_file",
is introduced. If added to the command line, this property specifies
the name of the file that stores the zone metadata. If "zone_file" is
omitted, the device will be initialized with all zones empty, the same
as before.

If zone metadata is configured to be persistent, then zone descriptor
extensions also persist across controller shutdowns.
