Linux kernel source tree

A zone write plug BIO work function blk_zone_wplug_bio_work() calls
submit_bio_noacct_nocheck() to execute the next unplugged BIO. This
function may block. So executing zone plugs BIO works using the block
layer global kblockd workqueue can potentially lead to preformance or
latency issues as the number of concurrent work for a workqueue is
limited to WQ_DFL_ACTIVE (256).
1) For a system with a large number of zoned disks, issuing write
requests to otherwise unused zones may be delayed wiating for a work
thread to become available.
2) Requeue operations which use kblockd but are independent of zone
write plugging may alsoi end up being delayed.
To avoid these potential performance issues, create a workqueue per
zoned device to execute zone plugs BIO work. The workqueue max active
parameter is set to the maximum number of zone write plugs allocated
with the zone write plug mempool. This limit is equal to the maximum
number of open zones of the disk and defaults to 128 for disks that do
not have a limit on the number of open zones.

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.
