Linux kernel source tree

RT groups on a zoned file system need to be completely empty before their space can be reused. This means that partially empty groups need to be emptied entirely to free up space if no entirely free groups are available. Add a garbage collection thread that moves all data out of the least used zone when not enough free zones are available, and which resets all zones that have been emptied. To find empty zone a simple set of 10 buckets based on the amount of space used in the zone is used. To empty zones, the rmap is walked to find the owners and the data is read and then written to the new place. To automatically defragment files the rmap records are sorted by inode and logical offset. This means defragmentation of parallel writes into a single zone happens automatically when performing garbage collection. Because holding the iolock over the entire GC cycle would inject very noticeable latency for other accesses to the inodes, the iolock is not taken while performing I/O. Instead the I/O completion handler checks that the mapping hasn't changed over the one recorded at the start of the GC cycle and doesn't update the mapping if it change.

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 reStructuredText 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.
