Naohiro Aota 82187d2ecd btrfs: zoned: fix chunk allocation condition for zoned allocator
The ZNS specification defines a limit on the number of "active"
zones. That limit impose us to limit the number of block groups which
can be used for an allocation at the same time. Not to exceed the
limit, we reuse the existing active block groups as much as possible
when we can't activate any other zones without sacrificing an already
activated block group in commit a85f05e59b ("btrfs: zoned: avoid
chunk allocation if active block group has enough space").

However, the check is wrong in two ways. First, it checks the
condition for every raid index (ffe_ctl->index). Even if it reaches
the condition and "ffe_ctl->max_extent_size >=
ffe_ctl->min_alloc_size" is met, there can be other block groups
having enough space to hold ffe_ctl->num_bytes. (Actually, this won't
happen in the current zoned code as it only supports SINGLE
profile. But, it can happen once it enables other RAID types.)

Second, it checks the active zone availability depending on the
raid index. The raid index is just an index for
space_info->block_groups, so it has nothing to do with chunk allocation.

These mistakes are causing a faulty allocation in a certain
situation. Consider we are running zoned btrfs on a device whose
max_active_zone == 0 (no limit). And, suppose no block group have a
room to fit ffe_ctl->num_bytes but some room to meet
ffe_ctl->min_alloc_size (i.e. max_extent_size > num_bytes >=
min_alloc_size).

In this situation, the following occur:

- With SINGLE raid_index, it reaches the chunk allocation checking
  code
- The check returns true because we can activate a new zone (no limit)
- But, before allocating the chunk, it iterates to the next raid index
  (RAID5)
- Since there are no RAID5 block groups on zoned mode, it again
  reaches the check code
- The check returns false because of btrfs_can_activate_zone()'s "if
  (raid_index != BTRFS_RAID_SINGLE)" part
- That results in returning -ENOSPC without allocating a new chunk

As a result, we end up hitting -ENOSPC too early.

Move the check to the right place in the can_allocate_chunk() hook,
and do the active zone check depending on the allocation flag, not on
the raid index.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
