Introduce the blkdev_nr_zones() helper function to get the total
number of zones of a zoned block device. This number is always 0 for a
regular block device (q->limits.zoned == BLK_ZONED_NONE case).
Replace hard-coded number of zones calculation in dmz_get_zoned_device()
with a call to this helper.

The API surrounding refcount_t should be used in place of atomic_t
when variables are being used as reference counters. This API can
prevent issues such as counter overflows and use-after-free
conditions. Within the dm zoned target stack, the atomic_t API is
used for bioctx->ref and cw->refcount. Change these to use
refcount_t, avoiding the issues mentioned.

Use the fmode_t that is passed to dm_blk_ioctl() rather than
inconsistently (varies across targets) drop it on the floor by
overriding it with the fmode_t stored in 'struct dm_dev'.
All the persistent reservation functions weren't using the fmode_t they
got back from .prepare_ioctl so remove them.

The SCSI layer allows ZBC drives to have a smaller last runt zone. For
such a device, specifying the entire capacity for a dm-zoned target
table entry fails because the specified capacity is not aligned on a
device zone size indicated in the request queue structure of the
device.
Fix this problem by ignoring the last runt zone in the entry length
when seting up the dm-zoned target (ctr method) and when iterating table
entries of the target (iterate_devices method). This allows dm-zoned
users to still easily setup a target using the entire device capacity
(as mandated by dm-zoned) or the aligned capacity excluding the last
runt zone.
While at it, replace direct references to the device queue chunk_sectors
limit with calls to the accessor blk_queue_zone_sectors().

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

The dm-zoned device mapper target provides transparent write access
to zoned block devices (ZBC and ZAC compliant block devices).
dm-zoned hides to the device user (a file system or an application
doing raw block device accesses) any constraint imposed on write
requests by the device, equivalent to a drive-managed zoned block
device model.
Write requests are processed using a combination of on-disk buffering
using the device conventional zones and direct in-place processing for
requests aligned to a zone sequential write pointer position.
A background reclaim process implemented using dm_kcopyd_copy ensures
that conventional zones are always available for executing unaligned
write requests. The reclaim process overhead is minimized by managing
buffer zones in a least-recently-written order and first targeting the
oldest buffer zones. Doing so, blocks under regular write access (such
as metadata blocks of a file system) remain stored in conventional
zones, resulting in no apparent overhead.
dm-zoned implementation focus on simplicity and on minimizing overhead
(CPU, memory and storage overhead). For a 14TB host-managed disk with
256 MB zones, dm-zoned memory usage per disk instance is at most about
3 MB and as little as 5 zones will be used internally for storing metadata
and performing buffer zone reclaim operations. This is achieved using
zone level indirection rather than a full block indirection system for
managing block movement between zones.
dm-zoned primary target is host-managed zoned block devices but it can
also be used with host-aware device models to mitigate potential
device-side performance degradation due to excessive random writing.
Zoned block devices can be formatted and checked for use with the dm-zoned
target using the dmzadm utility available at:
