[PATCH 0/3] zone-append support in aio and io-uring

From: Kanchan Joshi
Date: Wed Jun 17 2020 - 13:27:00 EST


This patchset enables issuing zone-append using aio and io-uring direct-io interface.

For aio, this introduces opcode IOCB_CMD_ZONE_APPEND. Application uses start LBA
of the zone to issue append. On completion 'res2' field is used to return
zone-relative offset.

For io-uring, this introduces three opcodes: IORING_OP_ZONE_APPEND/APPENDV/APPENDV_FIXED.
Since io_uring does not have aio-like res2, cqe->flags are repurposed to return zone-relative offset

aio: add support for zone-append
