Subject: [PATCH v2] nvme: report write pointer for a full zone as zone start +
 zone len

From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@....com>

The write pointer in NVMe ZNS is invalid for a zone in zone state full.
The same also holds true for ZAC/ZBC.

The current behavior for NVMe is to simply propagate the wp reported by
the drive, even for full zones. Since the wp is invalid for a full zone,
the wp reported by the drive may be any value.

The way that the sd_zbc driver handles a full zone is to always report
the wp as zone start + zone len, regardless of what the drive reported.
null_blk also follows this convention.

Do the same for NVMe, so that a BLKREPORTZONE ioctl reports the write
pointer for a full zone in a consistent way, regardless of the interface
of the underlying zoned block device.

blkzone report before patch:
start: 0x000040000, len 0x040000, cap 0x03e000, wptr 0xfffffffffffbfff8
reset:0 non-seq:0, zcond:14(fu) [type: 2(SEQ_WRITE_REQUIRED)]

blkzone report after patch:
start: 0x000040000, len 0x040000, cap 0x03e000, wptr 0x040000 reset:0
non-seq:0, zcond:14(fu) [type: 2(SEQ_WRITE_REQUIRED)]

Changes since v1:
- Minor commit message rewording.
- Use if/else instead of setting wp unconditionally and then
  conditionally updating it.
