Only triggering reclaim based on the percentage of unmapped cache zones can fail to detect cases where reclaim is needed, e.g. if the target has only 2 or 3 cache zones and only one unmapped cache zone, the percentage of free cache zones is higher than DMZ_RECLAIM_LOW_UNMAP_ZONES (30%) and reclaim does not trigger. This problem, combined with the fact that dmz_schedule_reclaim() is called from dmz_handle_bio() without the map lock held, leads to a race between zone allocation and dmz_should_reclaim() result. Depending on the workload applied, this race can lead to the write path waiting forever for a free zone without reclaim being triggered. Fix this by moving dmz_schedule_reclaim() inside dmz_alloc_zone() under the map lock. This results in checking the need for zone reclaim whenever a new data or buffer zone needs to be allocated. Also fix dmz_reclaim_percentage() to always return 0 if the number of unmapped cache (or random) zones is less than or equal to 1.

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.
