Damien Le Moal 2a72e6814f block: fix revalidate performance regression
commit 47fe1c3064c6bc1bfa3c032ff78e603e5dd6e5bc upstream.

The scsi driver function sd_read_block_characteristics() always calls
disk_set_zoned() to a disk zoned model correctly, in case the device
model changed. This is done even for regular disks to set the zoned
model to BLK_ZONED_NONE and free any zone related resources if the drive
previously was zoned.

This behavior significantly impact the time it takes to revalidate disks
on a large system as the call to disk_clear_zone_settings() done from
disk_set_zoned() for the BLK_ZONED_NONE case results in the device
request queued to be frozen, even if there are no zone resources to
free.

Avoid this overhead for non-zoned devices by not calling
disk_clear_zone_settings() in disk_set_zoned() if the device model
was already set to BLK_ZONED_NONE, which is always the case for regular
devices.

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.
