When dm zoned has multiple devices, random zones are never selected for reclaim if all reserved sequential write zones are in use and no sequential write required zones can be selected for reclaim. This can lead to deadlocks as selecting a cache zone allows reclaiming a sequential zone, ensuring forward progress. Fix this by always defaulting to selecting a random zone when no sequential write required zone can be selected.

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.
