Subject: [PATCH 1/3] dm zoned: back off when reclaim finds no destination zone
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 12:51:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010105122.398-2-volvo.mail@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261010105122.398-1-volvo.mail@gmail.com>

When dmz_do_reclaim() fails with -ENOSPC because no free zone is
available to copy the data into, dmz_reclaim_work() still ends with
dmz_schedule_reclaim(). If the target is idle, dmz_should_reclaim()
keeps returning true, the work is queued again with no delay and the
worker spins on the same failing pass.

Re-arm the idle poll instead, so that reclaim is retried after
DMZ_IDLE_PERIOD. The next patch makes -ENOSPC the expected result when
an idle target has random zones but no free sequential zone.

Tested on a 7.2.6 kernel as an out-of-tree dm-zoned module, together
with the next two patches, on emulated host-managed drives (tcmu-runner
ZBC handler) and on three 27 TB host-managed drives used as md RAID5
members.
