* block: add zone specific block statusesKeith Busch2020-10-131-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A zoned device with limited resources to open or activate zones may return an error when the host exceeds those limits. The same command may be successful if retried later, but the host needs to wait for specific zone states before it should expect a retry to succeed. Have the block layer provide an appropriate status for these conditions so applications can distinuguish this error for special handling.

* block: add max_active_zones to blk-sysfsNiklas Cassel2020-07-151-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new max_active zones definition in the sysfs documentation. This definition will be common for all devices utilizing the zoned block device support in the kernel. Export max_active_zones according to this new definition for NVMe Zoned Namespace devices, ZAC ATA devices (which are treated as SCSI devices by the kernel), and ZBC SCSI devices. Add the new max_active_zones member to struct request_queue, rather than as a queue limit, since this property cannot be split across stacking drivers. For SCSI devices, even though max active zones is not part of the ZBC/ZAC spec, export max_active_zones as 0, signifying "no limit".

* docs: block: convert to ReSTMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-07-151-0/+254
Rename the block documentation files to ReST, add an index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html output via the Sphinx build system. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
