Commit2094045fe5("dm zoned: prefer full zones for reclaim") modified dmz_get_rnd_zone_for_reclaim() to add a search for the buffer zone with the heaviest weight as an optimal candidate for reclaim. This modification uses the zone pointer variabl "last" which is set only once and never modified as zones are scanned, resulting in the search being inefective. Furthermore, if the selected buffer zone at the end of the search loop is active or already locked for reclaim, dmz_get_rnd_zone_for_reclaim() returns NULL even if other random zones with a lesser weight can be reclaimed. To fix the search and to guarantee that reclaim can make forward progress, fix dmz_get_rnd_zone_for_reclaim() loop to correctly find the buffer zone with the heaviest weight using the variable maxw_z. Also make sure to fallback to finding the first random zone that can be reclaimed if this best candidate zone cannot be reclaimed. While at it, also fix the device index check to consider only random zones, ignoring cache zones belonging to the cache device if one is used as that device does not have a reclaim process.

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.
