virtio_blk: set the zone write granularitygrafted
virtblk_read_zoned_limits() reads the write granularity that the device reports in virtio_blk_zoned_characteristics and assigns it to the physical block size and to io_min, but never to the limit that is named after it. queue_limits.zone_write_granularity is left at zero, so blk_validate_zoned_limits() raises it to the logical block size: if (lim->zone_write_granularity < lim->logical_block_size) lim->zone_write_granularity = lim->logical_block_size; A device that reports a granularity coarser than its logical block size, which is what the field exists to express, therefore has it silently reduced. A 512e host managed disk passed through to a guest reports a logical block size of 512 and a write granularity of 4096, and the guest ends up with a zone write granularity of 512. bio_split_alignment() returns lim->zone_write_granularity if it is non-zero and bio_split_io_at() may split a bio with as per bio_split_alignment(). This can real to the write getting rejected by the host drive, as the write is not aligned to the physical block size. zonefs also takes its block size from bdev_zone_write_granularity(), so it would incorrectly use 512 on a disk that requires 4096. sd_zbc_read_zones() sets the limit from the physical block size for the same reason. NVMe ZNS and null_blk leave it unset, but the fallback gives the right answer for them, as their write granularity is the logical block size. virtio carries a separate value that may exceed it. Set the zone write granularity from the value that the device reports.

+# Here's how to use this:
+#
+# This script is used to help find functions that are being traced by function
+# tracer or function graph tracing that causes the machine to reboot, hang, or
+# crash. Here's the steps to take.
+#
+# First, determine if function tracing is working with a single function:
+#
+# (note, if this is a problem with function_graph tracing, then simply
+# replace "function" with "function_graph" in the following steps).
+#
+# # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
+# # echo schedule > set_ftrace_filter
+# # echo function > current_tracer
+#
+# If this works, then we know that something is being traced that shouldn't be.
+#
+# # echo nop > current_tracer
+#
+# Starting with v5.1 this can be done with numbers, making it much faster:
+#
+# The old (slow) way, for kernels before v5.1.
+#
+# [old-way] # cat available_filter_functions > ~/full-file
+#
+# [old-way] *** Note *** this process will take several minutes to update the
+# [old-way] filters. Setting multiple functions is an O(n^2) operation, and we
+# [old-way] are dealing with thousands of functions. So go have coffee, talk
+# [old-way] with your coworkers, read facebook. And eventually, this operation
+# [old-way] will end.
+#
+# The new way (using numbers) is an O(n) operation, and usually takes less than a second.
+#
+# seq `wc -l available_filter_functions | cut -d' ' -f1` > ~/full-file
+#
+# This will create a sequence of numbers that match the functions in
+# available_filter_functions, and when echoing in a number into the
+# set_ftrace_filter file, it will enable the corresponding function in
+# O(1) time. Making enabling all functions O(n) where n is the number of
+# functions to enable.
+#
+# For either the new or old way, the rest of the operations remain the same.
+#
+# # ftrace-bisect ~/full-file ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
+# # cat ~/test-file > set_ftrace_filter
+#
+# # echo function > current_tracer
+#
+# If it crashes, we know that ~/test-file has a bad function.
+#
+# Reboot back to test kernel.
+#
+# # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
+# # mv ~/test-file ~/full-file
+#
+# If it didn't crash.
+#
+# # echo nop > current_tracer
+# # mv ~/non-test-file ~/full-file
+#
+# Get rid of the other test file from previous run (or save them off somewhere).
+# # rm -f ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
+#
+# And start again:
+#
+# # ftrace-bisect ~/full-file ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
+#
+# The good thing is, because this cuts the number of functions in ~/test-file
+# by half, the cat of it into set_ftrace_filter takes half as long each
+# iteration, so don't talk so much at the water cooler the second time.
+#
+# Eventually, if you did this correctly, you will get down to the problem
+# function, and all we need to do is to notrace it.
+#
+# The way to figure out if the problem function is bad, just do:
+#
+# # echo <problem-function> > set_ftrace_notrace
+# # echo > set_ftrace_filter
+# # echo function > current_tracer
+#
+# And if it doesn't crash, we are done.
+#
+# If it does crash, do this again (there's more than one problem function)
+# but you need to echo the problem function(s) into set_ftrace_notrace before
+# enabling function tracing in the above steps. Or if you can compile the
+# kernel, annotate the problem functions with "notrace" and start again.
