Dmitry Fomichev e7fad909b6 dm zoned: reduce overhead of backing device checks
Commit 75d66ffb48 added backing device health checks and as a part
of these checks, check_events() block ops template call is invoked in
dm-zoned mapping path as well as in reclaim and flush path. Calling
check_events() with ATA or SCSI backing devices introduces a blocking
scsi_test_unit_ready() call being made in sd_check_events(). Even though
the overhead of calling scsi_test_unit_ready() is small for ATA zoned
devices, it is much larger for SCSI and it affects performance in a very
negative way.

Fix this performance regression by executing check_events() only in case
of any I/O errors. The function dmz_bdev_is_dying() is modified to call
only blk_queue_dying(), while calls to check_events() are made in a new
helper function, dmz_check_bdev().

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.
